integral from 0 to pi/2 of cos^2(3x)

\int_{0}^{\frac{π}{2}} cos^{2} (3 x) d x

\frac{π}{4}

Decimal

0.78539 \dots

Solution steps

\int_{0}^{\frac{π}{2}} cos^{2} (3 x) d x

Rewrite using trig identities

= \int_{0}^{\frac{π}{2}} \frac{1}{2} (1 + cos (6 x)) 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}^{\frac{π}{2}} 1 + cos (6 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}^{\frac{π}{2}} 1 d x + \int_{0}^{\frac{π}{2}} cos (6 x) d x)

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

\int_{0}^{\frac{π}{2}} cos (6 x) d x = 0

= \frac{1}{2} (\frac{π}{2} + 0)

Simplify

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

= \frac{π}{4}

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

\int_{0}^{1} 1 - x^{\frac{1}{4}} d x

\int_{0}^{x^{3}} e^{\frac{y}{x}} d y

\int_{0}^{1} x^{2} 9 + 4 x^{2} d x

\int_{0}^{2} \frac{1}{e ^{x} + e ^{- x}} d x
