integral of 1/4 sin^2(x)

\int \frac{1}{4} sin^{2} (x) d x

\frac{1}{8} (x - \frac{1}{2} sin (2 x)) + C

Solution steps

\int \frac{1}{4} sin^{2} (x) d x

Take the constant out:

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

= \frac{1}{4} \cdot \int sin^{2} (x) d x

Rewrite using trig identities

= \frac{1}{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

= \frac{1}{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

= \frac{1}{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)

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

Simplify

\frac{1}{4} \cdot \frac{1}{2} (x - \frac{1}{2} sin (2 x)) : \frac{1}{8} (x - \frac{1}{2} sin (2 x))

= \frac{1}{8} (x - \frac{1}{2} sin (2 x))

Add a constant to the solution

= \frac{1}{8} (x - \frac{1}{2} sin (2 x)) + C

\int 10 x 3 x^{2} - 2 d x

\int 6 x sin (5 x) d x

\int (x^{3} + 6 x^{2} - 4 x + 5) d x

\int \frac{2}{9} d x

\int \frac{2 x ^{2}}{x + 1} d x
