integral from pi/4 to pi/2 of cot^2(x)

\int_{\frac{π}{4}}^{\frac{π}{2}} cot^{2} (x) d x

- \frac{π}{4} + 1

Decimal Notation

0.21460 \dots

Solution steps

\int_{\frac{π}{4}}^{\frac{π}{2}} cot^{2} (x) d x

Rewrite using trig identities

= \int_{\frac{π}{4}}^{\frac{π}{2}} - 1 + csc^{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

= - \int_{\frac{π}{4}}^{\frac{π}{2}} 1 d x + \int_{\frac{π}{4}}^{\frac{π}{2}} csc^{2} (x) d x

\int_{\frac{π}{4}}^{\frac{π}{2}} 1 d x = \frac{π}{4}

\int_{\frac{π}{4}}^{\frac{π}{2}} csc^{2} (x) d x = 1

= - \frac{π}{4} + 1

\int_{0}^{\frac{π}{2}} sin (θ) cos (θ) d θ

\int_{1}^{3} \frac{1}{2 x + 1} d x

\int_{4}^{25} x d x

\int_{0}^{3} (x^{2}) d x

\int_{2}^{4} \frac{16 - x ^{2}}{x} d x
