integral from 0 to 2pi of sin(x)sin(x)

\int_{0}^{2 π} sin (x) sin (x) d x

π

Decimal

3.14159 \dots

Solution steps

\int_{0}^{2 π} sin (x) sin (x) d x

Simplify

sin (x) sin (x) : sin^{2} (x)

= \int_{0}^{2 π} sin^{2} (x) d x

Rewrite using trig identities

= \int_{0}^{2 π} \frac{1 - cos ( 2 x )}{2} d x

Take the constant out:

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

= \frac{1}{2} \cdot \int_{0}^{2 π} 1 - cos (2 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

= \frac{1}{2} (\int_{0}^{2 π} 1 d x - \int_{0}^{2 π} cos (2 x) d x)

\int_{0}^{2 π} 1 d x = 2 π

\int_{0}^{2 π} cos (2 x) d x = 0

= \frac{1}{2} (2 π - 0)

Simplify

\frac{1}{2} (2 π - 0) : π

= π
