integral from-pi/2 to pi/2 of sin^2(t)

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

\frac{π}{2}

Decimal

1.57079 \dots

Solution steps

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

Rewrite using trig identities

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

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

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

= \frac{1}{2} (π - 0)

Simplify

\frac{1}{2} (π - 0) : \frac{π}{2}

= \frac{π}{2}

\int_{0}^{2} 5 x (x - 6) d x

\int_{0}^{4} x - \frac{x ^{2}}{8} d x

\int_{0}^{1} (x^{4} - x) d x

\int_{0}^{1} (x ln (x)) d x

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