integral from 0 to 2*pi of cos^2(x)

\int_{0}^{2 \cdot π} cos^{2} (x) d x

π

Decimal

3.14159 \dots

Solution steps

\int_{0}^{2 π} cos^{2} (x) d x

Rewrite using trig identities

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

\int_{0}^{2 π} 1 d x = 2 π

\int_{0}^{2 π} cos (2 x) d x = 0

= \frac{1}{2} (2 π + 0)

Simplify

\frac{1}{2} (2 π + 0) : π

= π

\int_{0}^{x} 20 x^{3} (1 - x) d x

\int_{- 5}^{3} x 4 - x d x

\int_{0}^{2} 25 - x^{2} d x

\int_{0}^{9} e^{x} d x

\int_{0}^{1} x^{2} - 3 x + 8 d x
