Assuming
n\in\mathbb Z:


\displaystyle\int_0^\pi\cos^(2n+1)x\,\mathrm dx=\int_0^\pi\cos^(2n)x\cos x\,\mathrm dx

=\displaystyle\int_0^\pi(1-\sin^2x)^n\cos x\,\mathrm dx

Let
y=\sin x, so that
\mathrm dy=\cos x\,\mathrm dx. The integral is then


=\displaystyle\int_(\sin0=0)^(\sin\pi=0)(1-y^2)^n\,\mathrm dy=0
