Solution

I=∫π/83π/811+4cos2x+cos4x1−cos4x dx          .....(1)

Using King

I=∫π/83π/811−4cos2x+cos4x1−cos4x dx         .....(2)

(1) + (2)

2I=2∫π/83π/811+cos4x1−cos4x dx

⇒     I=∫π/83π/812−(1−cos4x)1−cos4x dx=12∫π/83π/812sin22x dx−∫π/83π/8dx

=6∫π/83π/8cosec22x dx−π4

=−62cot2x] 3π8 π8−π4=−3[(1)+(1)]−π4=−6−π4

=−6−π4
