integral from 0 to pi/2 of 5cos^2(x)

\int_{0}^{\frac{π}{2}} 5 cos^{2} (x) d x

\frac{5 π}{4}

Decimal Notation

3.92699 \dots

Solution steps

\int_{0}^{\frac{π}{2}} 5 cos^{2} (x) d x

Take the constant out:

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

= 5 \cdot \int_{0}^{\frac{π}{2}} cos^{2} (x) d x

Rewrite using trig identities

= 5 \cdot \int_{0}^{\frac{π}{2}} \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

= 5 \cdot \frac{1}{2} \cdot \int_{0}^{\frac{π}{2}} 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

= 5 \cdot \frac{1}{2} (\int_{0}^{\frac{π}{2}} 1 d x + \int_{0}^{\frac{π}{2}} cos (2 x) d x)

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

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

= 5 \cdot \frac{1}{2} (\frac{π}{2} + 0)

Simplify

5 \cdot \frac{1}{2} (\frac{π}{2} + 0) : \frac{5 π}{4}

= \frac{5 π}{4}

\int \frac{9 x - 4}{x ^{3} - 4 x ^{2}} d x

\int_{1}^{6} ln (x) d x

\frac{d}{d t} (e^{a (e^{t} - 1)})

y^{^{''}} + 3 y^{^{'}} + 2 y = 7 cos (x) - sin (x)
