integral from-pi to pi of cos(nx)

\int_{- π}^{π} cos (n x) d x

0

Solution steps

\int_{- π}^{π} cos (n x) d x

Apply u-substitution

= \int_{- πn}^{nπ} \frac{cos ( u )}{n} d u

Take the constant out:

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

= \frac{1}{n} \cdot \int_{- πn}^{nπ} cos (u) d u

Use the common integral:

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

= \frac{1}{n} [sin (u)]_{- πn}^{nπ}

Compute the boundaries:

0

= \frac{1}{n} \cdot 0

Simplify

= 0
