integral of 4*cos^2(x)

\int 4 \cdot cos^{2} (x) d x

2 x + sin (2 x) + C

Solution steps

\int 4 cos^{2} (x) d x

Take the constant out:

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

= 4 \cdot \int cos^{2} (x) d x

Rewrite using trig identities

= 4 \cdot \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

= 4 \cdot \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

= 4 \cdot \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)

= 4 \cdot \frac{1}{2} (x + \frac{1}{2} sin (2 x))

Simplify

4 \cdot \frac{1}{2} (x + \frac{1}{2} sin (2 x)) : 2 x + sin (2 x)

= 2 x + sin (2 x)

Add a constant to the solution

= 2 x + sin (2 x) + C

\int (8 y - \frac{2}{y ^{\frac{1}{4}}}) d y

\int \frac{1}{x ^{3}} csc (\frac{1}{x ^{2}}) cot (\frac{1}{x ^{2}}) d x

\int cos^{3} (x) sin^{9} (x) d x

sin (x) cos (x)

\int (2 x y + 1) d x
