@dlearner @Fifciol

OpenStudy (fifciol):

\[\cos2x=\cos^2x-\sin^2x=1-2\sin^2x \rightarrow \sin^2x=\frac{ 1-\cos2x }{ 2 }\]

OpenStudy (fifciol):

so \[\int\limits_{}^{}\sin^2xdx=\int\limits \frac{dx }{ 2 }+\int\limits \frac{\cos2x }{ 2 }=\frac{ x }{ 2 }+\frac{ \sin2x }{ 4 }+C\]

OpenStudy (fifciol):

should be - instead of +

OpenStudy (anonymous):

great stuff @fifciol

OpenStudy (fifciol):

thx

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i wanted to ask where you got \[1-2\sin^2 x\] or is it a trig identity law?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

A law!!

OpenStudy (fifciol):

\[1=\sin^2x+\cos^2x\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

well derived!!

OpenStudy (fifciol):

and integral cos2x/2 by substitution u=2x

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ohh ok i see now..thanks
