integrate cos theta× d theta whose upper limit is 2π and lower limit is π? Please answer this question
Answers
Answer:
Using the definition of the integral and the fact that sinx is an odd function, from 0 to 2π, with equal area under the curve at [0,π] and above the curve at [π,2π], the integral is 0.
This holds true for any time sinx is evaluated with an integral across a domain where it is symmetrically above and below the x-axis.
∫2π0sinxdx=[−cosx]∣∣∣2π0
=−cos2π−(−cos0)
An alternative way to do this starting from the limit definition is:
∫baf(x)dx=limn→∞N∑i=1f(x*i)Δx
where:
n is the number of rectangles used to approximate the integral, i.e. the area between the curve and the x-axis.
i is the index of each rectangle in [0,2π].
N is the index of the final rectangle in [0,2π].
f(x*i) is the height of each given rectangle in [0,2π], which varies as sin(x).
Δx is the width of each given rectangle in [0,2π], which converges to 0 as n→∞.
If we use the midpoint-rectangular approximation method (MRAM), we choose a convenient interval Δx such that we can find a midpoint for each rectangle of dimension Δx×f(x*i), where the midpoint of the ith rectangle is defined as
Mi=xi−1+xi−xi−12.
Let us choose Δx=π2 such that x={0,π2,π,3π
