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

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

\frac{π}{4} + \frac{1}{2}

Decimal

1.28539 \dots

Solution steps

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

Take the constant out:

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

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

Rewrite using trig identities

= 2 \cdot \int_{0}^{\frac{π}{4}} \frac{1 + cos ( 2 x )}{2} d x

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}^{\frac{π}{4}} 1 + cos (2 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

= 2 \cdot \frac{1}{2} (\int_{0}^{\frac{π}{4}} 1 d x + \int_{0}^{\frac{π}{4}} cos (2 x) d x)

\int_{0}^{\frac{π}{4}} 1 d x = \frac{π}{4}

\int_{0}^{\frac{π}{4}} cos (2 x) d x = \frac{1}{2}

= 2 \cdot \frac{1}{2} (\frac{π}{4} + \frac{1}{2})

Simplify

2 \cdot \frac{1}{2} (\frac{π}{4} + \frac{1}{2}) : \frac{π}{4} + \frac{1}{2}

= \frac{π}{4} + \frac{1}{2}

\int_{- 3}^{3} cos^{2} (\frac{π x}{2}) d x

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

\int_{0}^{30} t e^{- s t} d t

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

\int_{x^{2}}^{x} y d y
