integral from pi/6 to pi/2 of sin^2(x)

\int_{\frac{π}{6}}^{\frac{π}{2}} sin^{2} (x) d x

\frac{4 π + 3 3}{24}

Decimal Notation

0.74010 \dots

Solution steps

\int_{\frac{π}{6}}^{\frac{π}{2}} sin^{2} (x) d x

Rewrite using trig identities

= \int_{\frac{π}{6}}^{\frac{π}{2}} \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}{2} \cdot \int_{\frac{π}{6}}^{\frac{π}{2}} 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}{2} (\int_{\frac{π}{6}}^{\frac{π}{2}} 1 d x - \int_{\frac{π}{6}}^{\frac{π}{2}} cos (2 x) d x)

\int_{\frac{π}{6}}^{\frac{π}{2}} 1 d x = \frac{π}{3}

\int_{\frac{π}{6}}^{\frac{π}{2}} cos (2 x) d x = - \frac{3}{4}

= \frac{1}{2} (\frac{π}{3} - (- \frac{3}{4}))

Simplify

\frac{1}{2} (\frac{π}{3} - (- \frac{3}{4})) : \frac{4 π + 3 3}{24}

= \frac{4 π + 3 3}{24}

\int_{- 2}^{4} (- \frac{x ^{2}}{2} + x + 4) d x

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

\int_{2}^{5} 8 d x

\int_{0}^{y} x y^{2} - x^{2} d x

\int_{0}^{\frac{4}{7}} \frac{1}{49 x ^{2} + 16} d x
