integral from 0 to pi/2 of sin^2(t)

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

\frac{π}{4}

Decimal Notation

0.78539 \dots

Solution steps

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

Rewrite using trig identities

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

Take the constant out:

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

= \frac{1}{2} \cdot \int_{0}^{\frac{π}{2}} 1 - cos (2 t) d t

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}^{\frac{π}{2}} 1 d t - \int_{0}^{\frac{π}{2}} cos (2 t) d t)

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

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

= \frac{1}{2} (\frac{π}{2} - 0)

Simplify

\frac{1}{2} (\frac{π}{2} - 0) : \frac{π}{4}

= \frac{π}{4}

\frac{d}{d x} (x^{9} ln (8 x))

\frac{d}{d x} (ln (\frac{4 x ^{4} sin ( - 7 x )}{3 x - 3}))

\frac{d}{d x} (\frac{2}{x ^{3}} + c)

\int_{3}^{6} \frac{1}{( 4 - x ) ^{2}} d x

\frac{s ^{2} + 3}{2 s ^{2} + 5}
