integral from 0 to 2pi of-cos^2(θ)

\int_{0}^{2 π} - cos^{2} (θ) d θ

- π

Decimal

- 3.14159 \dots

Solution steps

\int_{0}^{2 π} - cos^{2} (θ) d θ

Take the constant out:

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

= - \int_{0}^{2 π} cos^{2} (θ) d θ

Rewrite using trig identities

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

\int_{0}^{2 π} 1 d θ = 2 π

\int_{0}^{2 π} cos (2 θ) d θ = 0

= - \frac{1}{2} (2 π + 0)

Simplify

- \frac{1}{2} (2 π + 0) : - π

= - π

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

\int_{2}^{8} 10 - x d x

\int_{- 1}^{0} \frac{1}{( 1 - x ) ^{\frac{3}{2}}} d x

\int_{10}^{4} x d x

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