Question
By using the properties of the definite integral, evaluate the integral:
`int_0^(pi/2) cos^2 x dx`
Advertisements
Solution
Let `I = int_0^(pi/2) cos^2 x dx` ....(i)
and `I = int_0^(pi/2) cos^2 (pi/2 - x) dx`
`= int_0^(pi/2) sin^2 x dx` ....(ii) `[∵ int_0^a f (x) dx = int_0^a f (a - x) dx]`
Adding (i) and (ii), we get
`2 I = int_0^(pi/2) cos^2 x dx + int_0^(pi/2) sin^2 x dx`
`= int_0^(pi/2) (sin^2 x + cos^2 x) dx`
`= int_0^(pi/2) dx = [x]_0^(pi/2)`
`= pi/2`
⇒ `I = pi/4.`

Solution: Let I = `int_2^5 (sqrt(x))/(sqrt(x) + sqrt(7 - x)) "d"x` ......(i)
Using the property, `int_"a"^"b" "f"(x) "d"x = int_"a"^"b" "f"("a" + "b" - x) "d"x`, we get
I = `int_2^5 ("( )")/(sqrt(7 - x) + "( )") "d"x` ......(ii)
Adding equations (i) and (ii), we get
2I = `int_2^5 (sqrt(x))/(sqrt(x) - sqrt(7 - x)) "d"x + ( ) "d"x`
2I = `int_2^5 (("( )" + "( )")/("( )" + "( )")) "d"x`
2I = `square`
∴ I = `square`
