integral from pi to 2pi of cos^2(θ)

\int_{π}^{2 π} cos^{2} (θ) d θ

\frac{π}{2}

Decimal

1.57079 \dots

Solution steps

\int_{π}^{2 π} cos^{2} (θ) d θ

Rewrite using trig identities

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

\int_{π}^{2 π} 1 d θ = π

\int_{π}^{2 π} cos (2 θ) d θ = 0

= \frac{1}{2} (π + 0)

Simplify

\frac{1}{2} (π + 0) : \frac{π}{2}

= \frac{π}{2}

\int_{0}^{1} 2 π x (6 x (x - 1)^{2}) d x

\int_{- 5}^{5} \frac{2}{x ^{2} + 2} d x

\int_{- 3}^{- 1} \frac{2}{r ^{3}} d r

\int_{y^{2}}^{y} 1 d x

\int_{4}^{- 4} (3 r + 2)^{2} d r
