integral from 0 to a of sin^2((pix)/a)

\int_{0}^{a} sin^{2} (\frac{π x}{a}) d x

\frac{a}{2}

Solution steps

\int_{0}^{a} sin^{2} (\frac{π x}{a}) d x

Apply u-substitution

: \int_{0}^{π} \frac{a sin ^{2} ( u )}{π} d u

= \int_{0}^{π} \frac{a sin ^{2} ( u )}{π} d u

Take the constant out:

\int a \cdot f (x) d x = a \cdot \int f (x) d x

= \frac{a}{π} \cdot \int_{0}^{π} sin^{2} (u) d u

Rewrite using trig identities

= \frac{a}{π} \cdot \int_{0}^{π} \frac{1 - cos ( 2 u )}{2} d u

Take the constant out:

\int a \cdot f (x) d x = a \cdot \int f (x) d x

= \frac{a}{π} \cdot \frac{1}{2} \cdot \int_{0}^{π} 1 - cos (2 u) d u

Apply the Sum Rule:

\int f (x) \pm g (x) d x = \int f (x) d x \pm \int g (x) d x

= \frac{a}{π} \cdot \frac{1}{2} (\int_{0}^{π} 1 d u - \int_{0}^{π} cos (2 u) d u)

\int_{0}^{π} 1 d u = π

\int_{0}^{π} cos (2 u) d u = 0

= \frac{a}{π} \cdot \frac{1}{2} (π - 0)

Simplify

\frac{a}{π} \cdot \frac{1}{2} (π - 0) : \frac{a}{2}

= \frac{a}{2}

y^{^{'}} + y = 3 - e^{t}

\int \frac{x ^{3} + x - 1}{x + 3} d x

\int csc^{5} (x) d x

\frac{4 x}{( x ^{3} - 3 ) ^{2}}

x + tan (x)
