integral of sin^2(θ)

integral

sin^{2} (θ)

\frac{1}{2} (θ - \frac{1}{2} sin (2 θ)) + C

Solution steps

\int sin^{2} (θ) d θ

Rewrite using trig identities

= \int \frac{1 - cos ( 2 θ )}{2} d θ

Take the constant out:

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

= \frac{1}{2} \cdot \int 1 - cos (2 θ) d θ

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 1 d θ - \int cos (2 θ) d θ)

\int 1 d θ = θ

\int cos (2 θ) d θ = \frac{1}{2} sin (2 θ)

= \frac{1}{2} (θ - \frac{1}{2} sin (2 θ))

Add a constant to the solution

= \frac{1}{2} (θ - \frac{1}{2} sin (2 θ)) + C
