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

\int_{0}^{π} cos (2 x) cos (n x) d x

0

Solution steps

\int_{0}^{π} cos (2 x) cos (n x) d x

Rewrite using trig identities

= \int_{0}^{π} \frac{cos ( 2 x + n x ) + cos ( 2 x - n 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} cos (2 x + n x) + cos (2 x - n 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} cos (2 x + n x) d x + \int_{0}^{π} cos (2 x - n x) d x)

\int_{0}^{π} cos (2 x + n x) d x = 0

\int_{0}^{π} cos (2 x - n x) d x = 0

= \frac{1}{2} (0 + 0)

Simplify

= 0

\int_{- 1}^{3} 1 - x d x

\int_{0}^{1} \frac{x}{x ^{2} + 5 x + 6} d x

\int_{- 1}^{1} x e^{- x^{2}} d x

\int_{0}^{\frac{π}{3}} cos^{2} (θ) d θ

\int_{- 8}^{1} x^{- \frac{2}{3}} d x
