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

\int_{0}^{\frac{π}{2}} 2 cos (x) d x

2

Solution steps

\int_{0}^{\frac{π}{2}} 2 cos (x) d x

Take the constant out:

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

= 2 \cdot \int_{0}^{\frac{π}{2}} cos (x) d x

Use the common integral:

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

= 2 [sin (x)]_{0}^{\frac{π}{2}}

Compute the boundaries:

1

= 2 \cdot 1

Simplify

= 2
