integral from-pi/2 to pi/2 of cos^2(θ)

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

\frac{π}{2}

Solution steps

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

Rewrite using trig identities

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

\int_{- \frac{π}{2}}^{\frac{π}{2}} 1 d θ = π

\int_{- \frac{π}{2}}^{\frac{π}{2}} 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}^{3} 7 x (x - 3) d x

\int_{6}^{7} t^{2} - 2 t - 24 d t

\int_{\frac{1}{2}}^{1} (x^{- 3} - 23) d x

\int_{0}^{2} y sinh (y) d y

\int_{0}^{x} e^{- 2 t} d t
