Trigometric simplifications help?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[\int\limits \sin ^{2} xdx\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

you should try writing it as \[\sin^2 (x) = \frac{1}{2}-\frac{1}{2}\cos(2x)\] then interfrat the sum term by term and factor out constants to get started!!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

integrate* (spelling mistake :O)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

if you get stuck i can attempt to show you step by step if you like

OpenStudy (anonymous):

please can you?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[F(x)= -cosx +\frac{ 1 }{ 2 }\cos ^{2}x+c\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

is that right?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

your close !

OpenStudy (anonymous):

sort of :O

write sin2 as:|dw:1374366713285:dw|integrate the sum term by term and factor out constants |dw:1374366754067:dw| for the integrand cos(2x), sub u=2x and du=2dx|dw:1374366861238:dw| the int of cos u is sin u |dw:1374366996389:dw| sub back in u |dw:1374367030297:dw| then = |dw:1374367062725:dw|
