Answer

$$ \int_{0}^{\pi} \cos ^{6} \theta d \theta =\frac{5 \pi}{16} $$

Work Step by Step

$$ \int_{0}^{\pi} \cos ^{6} \theta d \theta $$ If we look at the Table of Integrals , we see that the closest entry is number $74$ with $n=6 $, for the second integral we use Formula $74$ with $n=4,$ and for the last integral we use Formula $64$ : $$ \begin{aligned} \int_{0}^{\pi} \cos ^{6} \theta d \theta & \stackrel{74}{=}\left[\frac{1}{6} \cos ^{5} \theta \sin \theta\right]_{0}^{\pi}+\frac{5}{6} \int_{0}^{\pi} \cos ^{4} \theta d \theta \\ &\stackrel{74}{=} 0+\frac{5}{6}\left\{\left[\frac{1}{4} \cos ^{3} \theta \sin \theta\right]_{0}^{\pi}+\frac{3}{4} \int_{0}^{\pi} \cos ^{2} \theta d \theta\right\} \\ &\stackrel{64}{=} \frac{5}{6}\left\{0+\frac{3}{4}\left[\frac{1}{2} \theta+\frac{1}{4} \sin 2 \theta\right]_{0}^{\pi}\right\}=\frac{5}{6} \cdot \frac{3}{4} \cdot \frac{\pi}{2}\\ &=\frac{5 \pi}{16} \end{aligned} $$
