integral from 0 to 1 of cos(pi/2 t)

\int_{0}^{1} cos (\frac{π}{2} t) d t

\frac{2}{π}

Decimal

0.63661 \dots

Solution steps

\int_{0}^{1} cos (\frac{π}{2} t) d t

Multiply fractions:

a \cdot \frac{b}{c} = \frac{a \cdot b}{c}

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

Apply u-substitution

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

Take the constant out:

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

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

Use the common integral:

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

= \frac{2}{π} [sin (u)]_{0}^{\frac{π}{2}}

Compute the boundaries:

1

= \frac{2}{π} \cdot 1

Simplify

= \frac{2}{π}
