integral from 0 to pi/2 of (1-cos(2t))/2

\int_{0}^{\frac{π}{2}} \frac{1 - cos ( 2 t )}{2} d t

\frac{π}{4}

Decimal

0.78539 \dots

Solution steps

\int_{0}^{\frac{π}{2}} \frac{1 - cos ( 2 t )}{2} d t

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 (2 t) d t

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 t - \int_{0}^{\frac{π}{2}} cos (2 t) d t)

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

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

= \frac{1}{2} (\frac{π}{2} - 0)

Simplify

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

= \frac{π}{4}

\int_{0}^{6} \frac{36 - x ^{2}}{144} d x

\int_{0}^{50} q^{2} - 50 q + 700 d q

\int_{1}^{7} (12 - ∣ x - 4 ∣)^{2} d x

\int_{6}^{8} (\frac{1}{x ^{2}}) d x

\int_{0}^{1} 4 y^{2} d y
