integral of cos^2(t)

integral

cos^{2} (t)

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

Solution steps

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

Rewrite using trig identities

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

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 t) d t

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 t + \int cos (2 t) d t)

\int 1 d t = t

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

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

Add a constant to the solution

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

\int \frac{1}{2}

\int sin (a x) e^{b x + c} d x

\int 5 sin (6 - 5 x) d x

\int \frac{9}{x - 7} d x

\int \frac{a x}{a ^{2} - x ^{2}} d x
