integral from-5pi to 4pi of cos^2(x)

\int_{- 5 π}^{4 π} cos^{2} (x) d x

\frac{9 π}{2}

Decimal

14.13716 \dots

Solution steps

\int_{- 5 π}^{4 π} cos^{2} (x) d x

Rewrite using trig identities

= \int_{- 5 π}^{4 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_{- 5 π}^{4 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_{- 5 π}^{4 π} 1 d x + \int_{- 5 π}^{4 π} cos (2 x) d x)

\int_{- 5 π}^{4 π} 1 d x = 9 π

\int_{- 5 π}^{4 π} cos (2 x) d x = 0

= \frac{1}{2} (9 π + 0)

Simplify

\frac{1}{2} (9 π + 0) : \frac{9 π}{2}

= \frac{9 π}{2}
