integral from 0 to pi/4 of cos^2(2θ)

\int_{0}^{\frac{π}{4}} cos^{2} (2 θ) d θ

\frac{π}{8}

Decimal

0.39269 \dots

Solution steps

\int_{0}^{\frac{π}{4}} cos^{2} (2 θ) d θ

Rewrite using trig identities

= \int_{0}^{\frac{π}{4}} \frac{1}{2} (1 + cos (4 θ)) 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}^{\frac{π}{4}} 1 + cos (4 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}^{\frac{π}{4}} 1 d θ + \int_{0}^{\frac{π}{4}} cos (4 θ) d θ)

\int_{0}^{\frac{π}{4}} 1 d θ = \frac{π}{4}

\int_{0}^{\frac{π}{4}} cos (4 θ) d θ = 0

= \frac{1}{2} (\frac{π}{4} + 0)

Simplify

\frac{1}{2} (\frac{π}{4} + 0) : \frac{π}{8}

= \frac{π}{8}

\int_{- π}^{0} - 1 sin (n x) d x

\int_{- 1}^{3} (e^{x} - 1) d x

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

\int_{- 2}^{1} (3 - y) - (y^{2} + 1) d y

\int_{0}^{\infty} 9 x e^{- 3 x} d x
