integral from-pi/4 to pi/4 of cos^2(x)

\int_{- \frac{π}{4}}^{\frac{π}{4}} cos^{2} (x) d x

\frac{π + 2}{4}

Decimal

1.28539 \dots

Solution steps

\int_{- \frac{π}{4}}^{\frac{π}{4}} cos^{2} (x) d x

Rewrite using trig identities

= \int_{- \frac{π}{4}}^{\frac{π}{4}} \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_{- \frac{π}{4}}^{\frac{π}{4}} 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_{- \frac{π}{4}}^{\frac{π}{4}} 1 d x + \int_{- \frac{π}{4}}^{\frac{π}{4}} cos (2 x) d x)

\int_{- \frac{π}{4}}^{\frac{π}{4}} 1 d x = \frac{π}{2}

\int_{- \frac{π}{4}}^{\frac{π}{4}} cos (2 x) d x = 1

= \frac{1}{2} (\frac{π}{2} + 1)

Simplify

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

= \frac{π + 2}{4}

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

\int_{1}^{7} 4 d x

\int_{- 1}^{4} 16 - x^{2} d x

\int_{3}^{5} x^{2} - 9 d x

\int_{0}^{1} 9 t d t
