integral from 0 to pi/8 of cos(2x)

\int_{0}^{\frac{π}{8}} cos (2 x) d x

\frac{1}{2 2}

Decimal

0.35355 \dots

Solution steps

\int_{0}^{\frac{π}{8}} cos (2 x) d x

Apply u-substitution

= \int_{0}^{\frac{π}{4}} cos (u) \frac{1}{2} d u

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}{4}} cos (u) d u

Use the common integral:

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

= \frac{1}{2} [sin (u)]_{0}^{\frac{π}{4}}

Compute the boundaries:

\frac{1}{2}

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

Simplify

= \frac{1}{2 2}
