integral of sin((pix)/2)

\int sin (\frac{π x}{2}) d x

- \frac{2}{π} cos (\frac{π x}{2}) + C

Solution steps

\int sin (\frac{π x}{2}) d x

Apply u-substitution

= \int sin (u) \frac{2}{π} d u

Take the constant out:

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

= \frac{2}{π} \cdot \int sin (u) d u

Use the common integral:

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

= \frac{2}{π} (- cos (u))

Substitute back

u = \frac{π x}{2}

= \frac{2}{π} (- cos (\frac{π x}{2}))

Simplify

= - \frac{2}{π} cos (\frac{π x}{2})

Add a constant to the solution

= - \frac{2}{π} cos (\frac{π x}{2}) + C
