Evaluate the following definite integral: `int_0^(pi//2)cos^2x\ dx`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

`I=int_{0}^{pi / 2} cos ^{2} x d x`
` =int_{0}^{pi / 2} frac{1+cos 2 x}{2} d x ldots ldots ldots ldots ldots . because(cos 2 x=2 cos ^{2} x-1) `
` =frac{1}{2}[x+frac{sin 2 x}{2}]_{0}^{pi / 2}`
` =frac{1}{2}[(frac{pi}{2}+frac{sin pi}{2})-(0+frac{sin 0}{2})]`
` =frac{pi}{4}`
