Step-by-Step Solution
Key Concept: The key idea is to first simplify the integrand using the King's property of definite integrals, which allows the initial complex rational term to be effectively removed, thereby reducing the problem to an integral of an even function over a symmetric interval. This simplification is crucial for finding a recurrence relation for $I_n$.
Step 1: Simplify the integral $I_n$.
Let the integrand be $G(x) = \dfrac{1}{1+2^{\sin\left(\frac{x}{2}\right)}} \left(\dfrac{\sin\left(\frac{nx}{2}\right)}{\sin\left(\frac{x}{2}\right)}\right)^2$.
Let $f(x) = \dfrac{1}{1+2^{\sin\left(\frac{x}{2}\right)}}$ and $h(x) = \left(\dfrac{\sin\left(\frac{nx}{2}\right)}{\sin\left(\frac{x}{2}\right)}\right)^2$.
We observe that $h(x)$ is an even function, since $h(-x) = \left(\dfrac{\sin\left(\frac{-nx}{2}\right)}{\sin\left(\frac{-x}{2}\right)}\right)^2 = \left(\dfrac{-\sin\left(\frac{nx}{2}\right)}{-\sin\left(\frac{x}{2}\right)}\right)^2 = \left(\dfrac{\sin\left(\frac{nx}{2}\right)}{\sin\left(\frac{x}{2}\right)}\right)^2 = h(x)$.
For $f(x)$, we have:
$$f(-x) = \dfrac{1}{1+2^{\sin\left(\frac{-x}{2}\right)}} = \dfrac{1}{1+2^{-\sin\left(\frac{x}{2}\right)}} = \dfrac{1}{1+\frac{1}{2^{\sin\left(\frac{x}{2}\right)}}} = \dfrac{1}{\frac{2^{\sin\left(\frac{x}{2}\right)}+1}{2^{\sin\left(\frac{x}{2}\right)}}} = \dfrac{2^{\sin\left(\frac{x}{2}\right)}}{1+2^{\sin\left(\frac{x}{2}\right)}}$$
Thus, $f(x) + f(-x) = \dfrac{1}{1+2^{\sin\left(\frac{x}{2}\right)}} + \dfrac{2^{\sin\left(\frac{x}{2}\right)}}{1+2^{\sin\left(\frac{x}{2}\right)}} = \dfrac{1+2^{\sin\left(\frac{x}{2}\right)}}{1+2^{\sin\left(\frac{x}{2}\right)}} = 1$.
Using the property $\int_{-a}^a F(x) dx = \int_0^a (F(x) + F(-x)) dx$ for an integral of the form $\int_{-a}^a f(x)h(x) dx$ where $h(x)$ is even:
$$2I_n = \int_{-\pi}^{\pi} \left(f(x)h(x) + f(-x)h(-x)\right) dx = \int_{-\pi}^{\pi} \left(f(x)h(x) + f(-x)h(x)\right) dx$$
$$2I_n = \int_{-\pi}^{\pi} (f(x) + f(-x))h(x) dx = \int_{-\pi}^{\pi} (1)h(x) dx = \int_{-\pi}^{\pi} \left(\dfrac{\sin\left(\frac{nx}{2}\right)}{\sin\left(\frac{x}{2}\right)}\right)^2 dx$$
Since $h(x)$ is an even function, $\int_{-\pi}^{\pi} h(x) dx = 2\int_0^\pi h(x) dx$.
Therefore, $2I_n = 2\int_0^\pi \left(\dfrac{\sin\left(\frac{nx}{2}\right)}{\sin\left(\frac{x}{2}\right)}\right)^2 dx$, which simplifies to:
$$I_n = \int_0^\pi \left(\dfrac{\sin\left(\frac{nx}{2}\right)}{\sin\left(\frac{x}{2}\right)}\right)^2 dx$$
Step 2: Compute $I_{n+1} - I_n$.
$$I_{n+1} - I_n = \int_0^\pi \left[\left(\dfrac{\sin\left(\frac{(n+1)x}{2}\right)}{\sin\left(\frac{x}{2}\right)}\right)^2 - \left(\dfrac{\sin\left(\frac{nx}{2}\right)}{\sin\left(\frac{x}{2}\right)}\right)^2\right] dx$$
$$I_{n+1} - I_n = \int_0^\pi \dfrac{\sin^2\left(\frac{(n+1)x}{2}\right) - \sin^2\left(\frac{nx}{2}\right)}{\sin^2\left(\frac{x}{2}\right)} dx$$
Using the trigonometric identity $\sin^2 A - \sin^2 B = \sin(A+B)\sin(A-B)$, with $A = \frac{(n+1)x}{2}$ and $B = \frac{nx}{2}$:
$A+B = \frac{(n+1)x}{2} + \frac{nx}{2} = \frac{(2n+1)x}{2}$
$A-B = \frac{(n+1)x}{2} - \frac{nx}{2} = \frac{x}{2}$
So the numerator becomes $\sin\left(\frac{(2n+1)x}{2}\right)\sin\left(\frac{x}{2}\right)$.
$$I_{n+1} - I_n = \int_0^\pi \dfrac{\sin\left(\frac{(2n+1)x}{2}\right)\sin\left(\frac{x}{2}\right)}{\sin^2\left(\frac{x}{2}\right)} dx = \int_0^\pi \dfrac{\sin\left(\frac{(2n+1)x}{2}\right)}{\sin\left(\frac{x}{2}\right)} dx$$
Step 3: Evaluate the integral for $I_{n+1} - I_n$.
Let $t = \frac{x}{2}$. Then $x = 2t$ and $dx = 2dt$. When $x=0$, $t=0$. When $x=\pi$, $t=\frac{\pi}{2}$.
$$I_{n+1} - I_n = \int_0^{\pi/2} \dfrac{\sin((2n+1)t)}{\sin t} (2dt) = 2\int_0^{\pi/2} \dfrac{\sin((2n+1)t)}{\sin t} dt$$
It is a known result that for any integer $k \ge 0$, $\int_0^{\pi/2} \dfrac{\sin((2k+1)t)}{\sin t} dt = \dfrac{\pi}{2}$.
Here, $k=n$. Therefore,
$$I_{n+1} - I_n = 2 \cdot \dfrac{\pi}{2} = \pi$$
Step 4: Determine the properties of the sequence $I_n$.
Since $I_{n+1} - I_n = \pi$ for all $n = 0, 1, 2, 3, \ldots$, the sequence $I_0, I_1, I_2, \ldots, I_n$ forms an arithmetic progression with a common difference of $\pi$.
Step 5: Calculate $I_0$ and the general term $I_n$.
For $n=0$, the integrand is $\left(\dfrac{\sin(0)}{\sin(x/2)}\right)^2$. For $x \in (0, \pi]$, $\sin(0)=0$, so the integrand is $0$.
At $x=0$, we evaluate the limit: $\lim_{x \to 0} \dfrac{\sin(0 \cdot x/2)}{\sin(x/2)} = \lim_{x \to 0} \dfrac{0}{x/2} = 0$.
Thus, $I_0 = \int_0^\pi 0^2 dx = 0$.
Since $I_n$ is an arithmetic progression with first term $I_0=0$ and common difference $\pi$, the general term is $I_n = I_0 + n\pi = 0 + n\pi = n\pi$.
Step 6: Calculate $\displaystyle\sum_{m=0}^{9} I_{2m}$.
Using $I_n = n\pi$, we have $I_{2m} = (2m)\pi$.
$$\sum_{m=0}^{9} I_{2m} = \sum_{m=0}^{9} (2m)\pi = 2\pi \sum_{m=0}^{9} m = 2\pi \left(\dfrac{9(9+1)}{2}\right) = 2\pi \left(\dfrac{9 \cdot 10}{2}\right) = 2\pi \cdot 45 = 90\pi$$
Step 7: Calculate $\displaystyle\sum_{m=0}^{10} I_m$.
Using $I_n = n\pi$:
$$\sum_{m=0}^{10} I_m = \sum_{m=0}^{10} m\pi = \pi \sum_{m=0}^{10} m = \pi \left(\dfrac{10(10+1)}{2}\right) = \pi \left(\dfrac{10 \cdot 11}{2}\right) = \pi \cdot 55 = 55\pi$$
