integral from 0 to pi of cos^2(θ)

\int_{0}^{π} cos^{2} (θ) d θ

\frac{π}{2}

Decimal

1.57079 \dots

Solution steps

\int_{0}^{π} cos^{2} (θ) d θ

Rewrite using trig identities

= \int_{0}^{π} \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_{0}^{π} 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_{0}^{π} 1 d θ + \int_{0}^{π} cos (2 θ) d θ)

\int_{0}^{π} 1 d θ = π

\int_{0}^{π} cos (2 θ) d θ = 0

= \frac{1}{2} (π + 0)

Simplify

\frac{1}{2} (π + 0) : \frac{π}{2}

= \frac{π}{2}

\int_{- 1}^{1} \frac{1}{5 - 4 x} d x

\int_{x}^{x^{2}} ln (t) d t

\int_{0}^{5} 9 - x^{2} d x

\int_{\frac{1}{4}}^{2} ln (x) d x

\int_{0}^{1} \frac{4 x ^{2}}{1 + x ^{2}} d x
