9 In this question you must show detailed reasoning.

(a) Use de Moivre’s theorem to determine constants \(A\), \(B\) and \(C\) such that \(\sin^4\theta \equiv A\cos 4\theta + B\cos 2\theta + C\). [5]

The function f is defined by

\[\mathrm{f}(x) = \sin\left(4\sin^{-1}\left(x^{\frac{1}{5}}\right)\right) - 8\sin\left(2\sin^{-1}\left(x^{\frac{1}{5}}\right)\right) + 12\sin^{-1}\left(x^{\frac{1}{5}}\right), \qquad x \in \mathbb{R},\ 0 \leqslant x \lt 1.\]

(b) Show that \(\mathrm{f}^{\prime}(x) = \dfrac{32}{5\sqrt{1 - x^{\frac{2}{5}}}}\). [6]
Graph: curve starting on the positive y-axis and rising increasingly steeply towards the dashed vertical asymptote x = 1; the region R between the curve, the x-axis, x = 0 and x = 1 is shaded

The diagram shows the curve with equation \(y = \dfrac{1}{\sqrt{1 - x^{\frac{2}{5}}}}\) for \(0 \leqslant x \lt 1\) and the asymptote \(x = 1\). The region \(R\) is the unbounded region between the curve, the \(x\)-axis, the line \(x = 0\) and the line \(x = 1\).

You are given that the area of \(R\) is finite.

(c) Determine the exact area of \(R\). [3]
