Worked solution
2(a)
1. Express the product of sine and cosine as a sum using trigonometric factor formulas.
2. Integrate term-by-term and add the constant of integration.
2(b)
1. Identify parts for integration by parts.
Let and .
Then and .
2. Apply the integration by parts formula.
3. Evaluate the remaining integral and add the constant of integration.
2(c)
1. Determine the antiderivative for part (b) using integration by parts.
2. Substitute the limits into the antiderivative and evaluate.
Since is a positive integer, and .
3. Determine the possible values of $k$ based on the parity of $m$.
Rewrite the evaluated integral to match the required form :
For odd integer , .
For even integer , .
Thus, the possible values for are and .
