integral of cos^2(θ)

integral

cos^{2} (θ)

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

Solution steps

\int cos^{2} (θ) d θ

Rewrite using trig identities

= \int \frac{1 + cos ( 2 θ )}{2} d θ

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 θ) d θ

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 θ + \int cos (2 θ) d θ)

\int 1 d θ = θ

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

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

Add a constant to the solution

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

\int \frac{0 ^{1} ( x ^{2} - 2 x - 1 )}{x} d x

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

\int \frac{1}{3} x^{3} - 5 x d x

\int sec^{3} (x) cot (x) d x

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