integral of cos^2(x)

\int cos^{2} (x) d x

\frac{1}{2} (x + \frac{1}{2} sin (2 x)) + C

Solution steps

\int cos^{2} (x) d x

Rewrite using trig identities

= \int \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

= \frac{1}{2} \cdot \int 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

= \frac{1}{2} (\int 1 d x + \int cos (2 x) d x)

\int 1 d x = x

\int cos (2 x) d x = \frac{1}{2} sin (2 x)

= \frac{1}{2} (x + \frac{1}{2} sin (2 x))

Add a constant to the solution

= \frac{1}{2} (x + \frac{1}{2} sin (2 x)) + C

(1 + cos (t)) \frac{d y}{d t} = (1 + e^{- y}) sin (t)

\frac{d}{d x} ((\frac{2 x + 1}{3 x - 1})^{4})

\frac{d}{d x} (8 x^{2} cos (x) cot (x))

x \cdot e^{- x + 1}

(4, - 4), (8, - 10)
