integral from 0 to pi/6 of cos(3x)

\int_{0}^{\frac{π}{6}} cos (3 x) d x

\frac{1}{3}

Decimal

0.33333 \dots

Solution steps

\int_{0}^{\frac{π}{6}} cos (3 x) d x

Apply u-substitution

= \int_{0}^{\frac{π}{2}} cos (u) \frac{1}{3} d u

Take the constant out:

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

= \frac{1}{3} \cdot \int_{0}^{\frac{π}{2}} cos (u) d u

Use the common integral:

\int cos (u) d u = sin (u)

= \frac{1}{3} [sin (u)]_{0}^{\frac{π}{2}}

Compute the boundaries:

1

= \frac{1}{3} \cdot 1

Simplify

= \frac{1}{3}
