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

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

\frac{π}{4}

Decimal

0.78539 \dots

Solution steps

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

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 θ) d θ

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

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

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

= \frac{1}{2} (\frac{π}{2} - 0)

Simplify

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

= \frac{π}{4}

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

\int_{0}^{7} (x^{2} - 4) d x

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

\int_{1}^{9} \frac{x - 6}{x} d x

\int_{- π}^{π} x sin (k x) d x
