integral from 0 to 2pi of 1+cos^2(x)

\int_{0}^{2 π} 1 + cos^{2} (x) d x

3 π

Decimal

9.42477 \dots

Solution steps

\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

= \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 = π

= 2 π + π

Simplify

= 3 π
