integral from 0 to pi of 2cos^2(t)

\int_{0}^{π} 2 cos^{2} (t) d t

π

Decimal Notation

3.14159 \dots

Solution steps

\int_{0}^{π} 2 cos^{2} (t) d t

Take the constant out:

\int a \cdot f (x) d x = a \cdot \int f (x) d x

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

Rewrite using trig identities

= 2 \cdot \int_{0}^{π} \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

= 2 \cdot \frac{1}{2} \cdot \int_{0}^{π} 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

= 2 \cdot \frac{1}{2} (\int_{0}^{π} 1 d t + \int_{0}^{π} cos (2 t) d t)

\int_{0}^{π} 1 d t = π

\int_{0}^{π} cos (2 t) d t = 0

= 2 \cdot \frac{1}{2} (π + 0)

Simplify

2 \cdot \frac{1}{2} (π + 0) : π

= π

\int_{0}^{30} 82 + 4 sin (\frac{x}{2}) d x

\int_{- 1}^{2} (2 - 2 ∣ x ∣) d x

\int_{0}^{1.5} (- 4 x + 6)^{\frac{3}{2}} d x

\int_{0}^{9} e^{- x} d x

\int_{- 1}^{1} t^{4} d t
