Homework Statement



I (2n,m) = Integral cos^(2n)O sin^(m)O cosO dO
limits are 0 to 2pi and O = theta

0.4/3 = 0.1333

show that I 2n,m = 2n/ m+1 (I2n-2, m+2)

Homework Equations


I really have no idea how to work with this problem. It is under Gamma function of the instructors notes. I have searched for an hour for an example similar to this problem. If anyone could point me in the right direction or a direction I would be greatful!

Thanks
