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

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

\frac{π ^{2}}{8} - 1

Decimal Notation

0.23370 \dots

Solution steps

\int_{0}^{\frac{π}{2}} x - cos (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

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

\int_{0}^{\frac{π}{2}} x d x = \frac{π ^{2}}{8}

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

= \frac{π ^{2}}{8} - 1

\int_{0}^{π} 2 sin^{9} (t) cos (t) d t

\int_{2}^{3.5} 7 - 2 x d x

\int_{- 1}^{2} 3 x^{2} e^{x^{3} + 5} d x

\int_{2}^{6} \frac{1}{6 - x} d x

\int_{0}^{1} \frac{1}{9 - x ^{2}} d x
