Problem Statement

Let m, nm,\ n be the given distinct positive integers. Answer the following questions. (1) Find the real number α (α<1)\alpha \ (|\alpha |<1) such that ππsin(m+α)x sin(n+α)x dx=0\int_{-\pi}^{\pi}\sin (m+\alpha )x\ \sin (n+\alpha )x\ dx=0. (2) Find the real number β\beta satifying the sytem of equation ππsin2(m+β)x dx=π+24m1\int_{-\pi}^{\pi}\sin^{2}(m+\beta )x\ dx=\pi+\frac{2}{4m-1}, ππsin2(n+β)x dx=π+24n1\int_{-\pi}^{\pi}\sin^{2}(n+\beta )x\ dx=\pi+\frac{2}{4n-1}.
