Question

integral of sin^2 (x/2)​

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Use the half angle formula, sin^2(x) = 1/2*(1 - cos(2x)) and substitute into the integral so it becomes 1/2 times the integral of (1 - cos(2x)) dx. Set u = 2x and du = 2dx to perform u substitution on the integral. Since dx = du/2, the result is 1/4 times the integral of (1 - cos(u)) du. Integrate the equation.
