Does cos2x equal 2cosxsinx?
No; sin2x = 2 cosx sinx
Integration of cos2x?
Using chain rule:integral of cos2x dx= 1/2 * sin2x + C
Integral of sin squared x?
First we look at the double-angle identity of cos2x. We know that: cos2x = cos^2x - sin^2x cos2x = [1-sin^2x] - sin^2x.............. (From sin^2x + cos^2x = 1, cos^2x = 1 - sin^2x) Therefore: cos2x = 1 - 2sin^2x 2sin^2x = 1 - cos2x sin^2x = 1/2(1-cos2x) sin^2x = 1/2 - cos2x/2 And intergrating, we get: x/2 - sin2x/4 + c...................(Integral of cos2x = 1/2sin2x; and c is a constant)
What is the antiderivative of sine squared?
∫sin2x dxUse the identity sin2x = ½ - ½(cos2x)∫[½ - ½(cos2x)] dx = ∫½ dx - ∫½(cos2x) dxLet's split it up into ∫½ dx and ∫½(cos2x) dx∫½ dx = x/2 (we'll put the constant in at the end)∫½(cos2x) dx (Use u substitution with u=2x and du = 2 dx)∫cosu ¼du = ¼∫cosu du = ¼sinu + c = ¼sin2x (remember to resubstitute)Subtract the two parts and add a constantx/2 - ¼(sin2x) + cThis is also equivalent to: ½(x - sinxcosx) + c
