Using properties evaluate the following definite integrals, evaluate the following: int_(-pi/2)^(pi/2) sin^2x dx |
|
Answer» SOLUTION :`sin^2(-x) = (-SINX)^2 = sin^2x` THEREFORE `sin^2x` is an even FUNCTION therefore `int_(-pi/2)^(pi/2) sin^2 x dx = 2int_0^(pi/2) sin^2x dx` =`2 int_0^(pi/2) (1-cos 2x)/2 dx` =`[x-(sin2x)/2]_0^(pi/2)` `(pi/2 -sinpi/2) -(0-sin0/2) = pi/2` |
