integral from 0 to pi/8 of cos(4x)

\int_{0}^{\frac{π}{8}} cos (4 x) d x

\frac{1}{4}

Decimal

0.25

Solution steps

\int_{0}^{\frac{π}{8}} cos (4 x) d x

Apply u-substitution

= \int_{0}^{\frac{π}{2}} cos (u) \frac{1}{4} d u

Take the constant out:

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

= \frac{1}{4} \cdot \int_{0}^{\frac{π}{2}} cos (u) d u

Use the common integral:

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

= \frac{1}{4} [sin (u)]_{0}^{\frac{π}{2}}

Compute the boundaries:

1

= \frac{1}{4} \cdot 1

Simplify

= \frac{1}{4}
