integral of cos^2(x)-sin(x)

\int cos^{2} (x) - sin (x) d x

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

Solution steps

\int cos^{2} (x) - sin (x) d x

Apply the Sum Rule:

\int f (x) \pm g (x) d x = \int f (x) d x \pm \int g (x) d x

= \int cos^{2} (x) d x - \int sin (x) d x

\int cos^{2} (x) d x = \frac{1}{2} (x + \frac{1}{2} sin (2 x))

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

= \frac{1}{2} (x + \frac{1}{2} sin (2 x)) - (- cos (x))

Simplify

= \frac{1}{2} (x + \frac{1}{2} sin (2 x)) + cos (x)

Add a constant to the solution

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