Step-by-step solution

5 steps

Here is the solution to the definite integral.

We need to evaluate the integral:

∫0π/A1+cos⁡(4x) dx\int_0^{\pi/A} \sqrt{1 + \cos(4x)} \, dx
  1. Apply the trigonometric identity.

    We use the double angle identity for cosine: 1+cos⁡(2θ)=2cos⁡2(θ)1 + \cos(2\theta) = 2\cos^2(\theta).
    In our integral, we have 1+cos⁡(4x)1 + \cos(4x). Let 2θ=4x2\theta = 4x, which means θ=2x\theta = 2x.
    Substituting this into the identity gives:

    1+cos⁡(4x)=2cos⁡2(2x)1 + \cos(4x) = 2\cos^2(2x)
  2. Substitute the identity into the integral.

    The integral becomes:

    ∫0π/A2cos⁡2(2x) dx\int_0^{\pi/A} \sqrt{2\cos^2(2x)} \, dx
  3. Simplify the square root.

    ∫0π/A2cos⁡2(2x) dx=∫0π/A2∣cos⁡(2x)∣ dx\int_0^{\pi/A} \sqrt{2} \sqrt{\cos^2(2x)} \, dx = \int_0^{\pi/A} \sqrt{2} |\cos(2x)| \, dx

    For this integral to be straightforward, we assume that cos⁡(2x)≥0\cos(2x) \ge 0 over the entire interval of integration [0,πA][0, \frac{\pi}{A}]. This typically means that 2x2x lies in the interval [0,π2][0, \frac{\pi}{2}], which implies xx lies in [0,π4][0, \frac{\pi}{4}]. Therefore, we assume πA≤π4\frac{\pi}{A} \le \frac{\pi}{4}, or A≥4A \ge 4.
    Under this assumption, ∣cos⁡(2x)∣=cos⁡(2x)|\cos(2x)| = \cos(2x).
    So the integral simplifies to:

    ∫0π/A2cos⁡(2x) dx\int_0^{\pi/A} \sqrt{2} \cos(2x) \, dx
  4. Integrate the expression.

    We can pull the constant 2\sqrt{2} out of the integral:

    2∫0π/Acos⁡(2x) dx\sqrt{2} \int_0^{\pi/A} \cos(2x) \, dx

    The integral of cos⁡(ax)\cos(ax) is 1asin⁡(ax)\frac{1}{a}\sin(ax). So, the integral of cos⁡(2x)\cos(2x) is 12sin⁡(2x)\frac{1}{2}\sin(2x).

    =2[12sin⁡(2x)]0π/A= \sqrt{2} \left[ \frac{1}{2}\sin(2x) \right]_0^{\pi/A}
  5. Evaluate the definite integral using the limits.

    =22[sin⁡(2⋅πA)−sin⁡(2⋅0)]= \frac{\sqrt{2}}{2} \left[ \sin\left(2 \cdot \frac{\pi}{A}\right) - \sin(2 \cdot 0) \right] =22[sin⁡(2πA)−sin⁡(0)]= \frac{\sqrt{2}}{2} \left[ \sin\left(\frac{2\pi}{A}\right) - \sin(0) \right]

    Since sin⁡(0)=0\sin(0) = 0:

    =22[sin⁡(2πA)−0]= \frac{\sqrt{2}}{2} \left[ \sin\left(\frac{2\pi}{A}\right) - 0 \right] =22sin⁡(2πA)= \frac{\sqrt{2}}{2} \sin\left(\frac{2\pi}{A}\right)

    The value of the integral is 22sin⁡(2πA)\frac{\sqrt{2}}{2} \sin\left(\frac{2\pi}{A}\right).
