Answer

\[\frac{1}{\sqrt 2}\]

Work Step by Step

Considering indefinite integral Let \[I=\int\sqrt{1-\cos 4\theta}\;d\theta\] \[I=\int\sqrt{1-\cos 2(2\theta)}\;d\theta\] \[\left[2\sin^2 x=1-\cos 2x\right]\] \[I=\int\sqrt{2\sin^2 2\theta}\;d\theta\] \[I=\sqrt{2}\int\sin 2\theta\;d\theta\] $I=-\frac{\sqrt{2}}{2}\cos 2\theta=-\frac{1}{\sqrt 2}\cos 2\theta$ ___(1) Let \[I_1=\int_{0}^{\frac{π}{4}}\sqrt{1-\cos 4\theta}\;d\theta\] \[I_1=\left[-\frac{1}{\sqrt 2}\cos 2\theta\right]_{0}^{\frac{π}{4}}\] Using (1) \[I_1=-\frac{1}{\sqrt 2}\left[\cos \frac{π}{2}-\cos (0)\right]\] \[I_1=-\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}[0-1]=\frac{1}{\sqrt 2}\] Hence, $I_1=\large\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}$.
