Let I=\(∫^\frac{π}{2}_{\pi}{2}sin^7xdx.....(1)\)
\(As sin^7(−x)=(sin(−x))^7=(−sinx)^7=−sin^7x,therefore,sin^2x is an odd function.\)
\(It is known that,if f(x)is an odd function,then ∫^a_-aƒ(x)dx=0\)
\(∴I=∫^\frac{π}{2}_\frac{π}{2}sin^7xdx=0\)
Let \( f : (0, \infty) \to \mathbb{R} \) be a twice differentiable function. If for some \( a \neq 0 \), } \[ \int_0^a f(x) \, dx = f(a), \quad f(1) = 1, \quad f(16) = \frac{1}{8}, \quad \text{then } 16 - f^{-1}\left( \frac{1}{16} \right) \text{ is equal to:}\]
