integral from 0 to pi/2 of (sin^4(x))

\int_{0}^{\frac{π}{2}} (sin^{4} (x)) d x

\frac{3 π}{16}

Decimal

0.58904 \dots

Solution steps

\int_{0}^{\frac{π}{2}} sin^{4} (x) d x

Apply Integral Reduction

= - [\frac{cos ( x ) sin ^{3} ( x )}{4}]_{0}^{\frac{π}{2}} + \frac{3}{4} \cdot \int_{0}^{\frac{π}{2}} sin^{2} (x) d x

\int_{0}^{\frac{π}{2}} sin^{2} (x) d x = \frac{π}{4}

= - [\frac{cos ( x ) sin ^{3} ( x )}{4}]_{0}^{\frac{π}{2}} + \frac{3}{4} \cdot \frac{π}{4}

Simplify

- [\frac{cos ( x ) sin ^{3} ( x )}{4}]_{0}^{\frac{π}{2}} + \frac{3}{4} \cdot \frac{π}{4} : - [\frac{1}{4} sin^{3} (x) cos (x)]_{0}^{\frac{π}{2}} + \frac{3 π}{16}

= - [\frac{1}{4} sin^{3} (x) cos (x)]_{0}^{\frac{π}{2}} + \frac{3 π}{16}

Compute the boundaries:

0

= - 0 + \frac{3 π}{16}

Simplify

= \frac{3 π}{16}

\int_{0}^{4} π (4 - y)^{2} d y

\int_{2}^{x} \frac{1}{1 + t ^{3}} d t

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

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

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