My\,attempt\\\\ Let\;\cos{x}+i\sin{x}\,=\,y\\\\ 2\cos{x}\,=\,(y+\frac{1}{y})^8\\\\ hence\\\\ 2^{8}\cos^{8}{x}\,=\,(y^8+\frac{1}{y^{8}})+8(y^6+\frac{1}{y^6})+28(y^4+\frac{1}{y^4})+56(y^2+\frac{1}{y^2}) +70\\\\ \quad=\;2\cos{8x}+16\cos{6x}+56\cos{4x}+112\cos{2x}+70\\\\ thus\quad\int{\cos^{8}{x}}dx\;=\;\frac{1}{2^7}[\frac{\sin{8x}}{8}+8\frac{\sin{6x}}{6}+28\frac{\sin{4x}}{4}+56\frac{\sin{2x}}{2}+35x]\\\\ Forgive\;my\;calculation\;mistakes
