Problem 8

Solution(BASH)

Remember $sin^2(x)+cos^2(x)=1$. This means $sin^{10}(x)+cos^{10}(x)=(sin^2(x)+cos^2(x))sin^{10}(x)+(sin^2(x)+cos^2(x))cos^{10})(x)=sin^{12}(x)+cos^{12}(x)+sin^2(x)cos^{10}(x)+sin^{10}(x)cos^{2}(x)=sin^{12}(x)+cos^{12}(x)+sin^2(x)cos^{2}(x)[sin^8(x)+cos^8(x)]$. Let us look at $sin^8(x)+cos^8(x)=(sin^2(x)+cos^2(x))sin^{8}(x)+(sin^2(x)+cos^2(x))cos^{8})(x)=sin^{10}(x)+cos^{10})(x)
