Integral.
my answer is 1/3 sin^3x - 2 cosx + 1/3 cos^3x + c.. am i right
what i did was expand the sinx + cosx and.. i got sin^2x + 2 sinxcosx + cos^2x dx
or actually, x -1/2 cos(2x) + c
you can simplify to sin^2x but it's harder... well here's how I do it
thank you so much =)
\[\int\limits_{}^{} (\sin(x) + \cos(x))^{2} dx\] Like you said, we can distribute it \[(\sin(x) + \cos(x))^2 = \sin^2x + 2sinxcosx + \cos^2x\] You know that sin^2x + cos^2x =1, so \[(\sin(x) + \cos(x))^2 = 1 + 2sinxcosx\] Then if you use the Double Angle identity, sin2x= 2sinxcosx, your equation is now \[(\sin(x) + \cos(x))^2 = 1 \sin(2x)\] So now, the integral becomes \[\int\limits_{}^{} 1+ \sin(2x) dx\]
1+sin(2x) ***
ah yes yes yes. you are right
Then separate those integrals \[\int\limits_{}^{}1 dx + \int\limits_{}^{} \sin(2x) dx\] \[x - \frac{ 1 }{ 2 } \cos(2x) + C\]
integral of sin(2x) was in a table that I memorized from textbook. If you're curious of how it's integrated step by step, you can look up "integration of sin(2x)"
Thank you soooo muuuuuuuuuch!! =)
