integral of cos^4(1/2)x

\int cos^{4} (\frac{1}{2}) x d x

\frac{cos ^{4} ( \frac{1}{2} ) x ^{2}}{2} + C

Solution steps

\int cos^{4} (\frac{1}{2}) x d x

Take the constant out:

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

= cos^{4} (\frac{1}{2}) \cdot \int x d x

Apply the Power Rule

= cos^{4} (\frac{1}{2}) \frac{x ^{2}}{2}

Multiply fractions:

a \cdot \frac{b}{c} = \frac{a \cdot b}{c}

= \frac{cos ^{4} ( \frac{1}{2} ) x ^{2}}{2}

Add a constant to the solution

= \frac{cos ^{4} ( \frac{1}{2} ) x ^{2}}{2} + C
