integral from pi/2 to 0 of (1+cos(2t))/2

\int_{\frac{π}{2}}^{0} \frac{1 + cos ( 2 t )}{2} d t

- \frac{π}{4}

Decimal

- 0.78539 \dots

Solution steps

\int_{\frac{π}{2}}^{0} \frac{1 + cos ( 2 t )}{2} d t

\int_{a}^{b} f (x) d x = - \int_{b}^{a} f (x) d x, a < b

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

\int_{0}^{\frac{π}{2}} 1 d t = \frac{π}{2}

\int_{0}^{\frac{π}{2}} cos (2 t) d t = 0

= - \frac{1}{2} (\frac{π}{2} + 0)

Simplify

- \frac{1}{2} (\frac{π}{2} + 0) : - \frac{π}{4}

= - \frac{π}{4}

\int_{0}^{1} \frac{1}{3} d x

\int_{2}^{4} 5 d x

\int_{0}^{7} tan (y) d y

\int_{0}^{π} \frac{1}{cos ^{2} ( x )} d x

\int_{0}^{1} π (x - x^{3})^{2} d x
