integral from-pi/2 to pi of 4cos(x)

\int_{- \frac{π}{2}}^{π} 4 cos (x) d x

4

Solution steps

\int_{- \frac{π}{2}}^{π} 4 cos (x) d x

Take the constant out:

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

= 4 \cdot \int_{- \frac{π}{2}}^{π} cos (x) d x

Use the common integral:

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

= 4 [sin (x)]_{- \frac{π}{2}}^{π}

Compute the boundaries:

1

= 4 \cdot 1

Simplify

= 4
