integral of sin^2(x)

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

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

Solution steps

\int sin^{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

\frac{d}{d x} (x^{\frac{1}{4}} y^{\frac{3}{4}})

(x^{4} + 7 x^{2} - 9)^{5}

\int (\frac{x + 1}{x - 1}) d x

f (x) = e^{x}, at x = ln (13)

f (x) = e^{x} (8 + 3 x + 5 x^{2}), at x = 0
