integral of (cos^2(x))

\int (cos^{2} (x)) d x

\frac{1}{2} (x + \frac{1}{2} sin (2 x)) + C

Solution steps

\int cos^{2} (x) d x

Rewrite using trig identities

= \int \frac{1 + cos ( 2 x )}{2} d x

Take the constant out:

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

= \frac{1}{2} \cdot \int 1 + cos (2 x) d x

Apply the Sum Rule:

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

= \frac{1}{2} (\int 1 d x + \int cos (2 x) d x)

\int 1 d x = x

\int cos (2 x) d x = \frac{1}{2} sin (2 x)

= \frac{1}{2} (x + \frac{1}{2} sin (2 x))

Add a constant to the solution

= \frac{1}{2} (x + \frac{1}{2} sin (2 x)) + C

\int x + 5 cos (x) d x

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

x \to 8 lim (x + 1)

f (x) = 8 x^{2} + x^{3}

\frac{d}{d x} (\frac{e ^{x}}{5 x ^{2} + 8})
