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

\int_{0}^{π} (cos^{2} (x)) d x

\frac{π}{2}

Solution steps

\int_{0}^{π} cos^{2} (x) d x

Rewrite using trig identities

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

\int_{0}^{π} 1 d x = π

\int_{0}^{π} cos (2 x) d x = 0

= \frac{1}{2} (π + 0)

Simplify

\frac{1}{2} (π + 0) : \frac{π}{2}

= \frac{π}{2}

\int_{- 5}^{5} \frac{sin ( x )}{x} d x

\int_{0}^{1} x^{3} + 1 d x

\int_{1}^{2} cos (\frac{n x π}{2}) d x

\int_{- 2}^{x} (10 t^{2} - 9 t) d t

\int_{0}^{2} \frac{3}{32} x^{2} y^{3} d y
