Answer

$\dfrac{5\pi}{16}$

Work Step by Step

The formula to use is 74. $\displaystyle \int\cos^{n}udu=\frac{1}{n}\cos^{n-1}u\sin u+\frac{n-1}{n}\int\cos^{\mathrm{n}-2}udu$ ---- Apply the formula $\displaystyle \int\cos^{6}\theta d\theta=\frac{1}{6}\cos^{5}\theta\sin\theta+\frac{5}{6}\int\cos^{4}\theta d\theta$ Apply the formula again $=\displaystyle \frac{1}{6}\cos^{5}\theta\sin\theta+\frac{5}{6}\left[\frac{1}{4}\cos^{3}\theta\sin\theta+\frac{3}{4}\int\cos^{2}\theta d\theta \right]$ and, again $=\displaystyle \frac{1}{6}\cos^{5}\theta\sin\theta+\frac{5}{6}\left[\frac{1}{4}\cos^{3}\theta\sin\theta+\frac{3}{4}\left(\frac{1}{2}\cos\theta\sin\theta+\frac{1}{2}\int d\theta \right)\right]$ $=\displaystyle \frac{1}{6}\cos^{5}\theta\sin\theta+\frac{5}{6}\left[\frac{1}{4}\cos^{3}\theta\sin\theta+\frac{3}{4}\left(\frac{1}{2}\cos\theta\sin\theta+\frac{1}{2}\theta \right)\right]+C$ All the terms except the last are zero when evaluating for $\theta=\pi,$ because $\sin\pi=0.$ All the terms including the last are zero when evaluating for $\theta=0.$ because $\sin 0=0$ $\displaystyle \int_{0}^{\pi}\cos^{6}\theta d\theta=\frac{5}{6}[\frac{3}{4}(\frac{1}{2}\cdot\pi)=\frac{5\pi}{16}$
