Answer

12x−14sin⁡(2x)+C\frac{1}{2}x - \frac{1}{4}\sin(2x) + C

Step-by-step solution

4 steps
  1. Use the power-reducing identity for sin⁡2x\sin^2 x.

    The identity is sin⁡2x=1−cos⁡(2x)2\sin^2 x = \frac{1 - \cos(2x)}{2}.
    Substitute this into the integral:

    ∫sin⁡2x dx=∫1−cos⁡(2x)2 dx\int \sin^2 x \,dx = \int \frac{1 - \cos(2x)}{2} \,dx
  2. Separate the integral into two terms.

    ∫1−cos⁡(2x)2 dx=12∫(1−cos⁡(2x)) dx=12(∫1 dx−∫cos⁡(2x) dx)\int \frac{1 - \cos(2x)}{2} \,dx = \frac{1}{2} \int (1 - \cos(2x)) \,dx = \frac{1}{2} \left( \int 1 \,dx - \int \cos(2x) \,dx \right)
  3. Integrate each term.

    The integral of 1 with respect to xx is xx.
    For ∫cos⁡(2x) dx\int \cos(2x) \,dx, use a substitution u=2xu = 2x, so du=2 dxdu = 2 \,dx, which means dx=12dudx = \frac{1}{2} du.

    ∫cos⁡(2x) dx=∫cos⁡(u)12 du=12∫cos⁡(u) du=12sin⁡(u)+C1=12sin⁡(2x)+C1\int \cos(2x) \,dx = \int \cos(u) \frac{1}{2} \,du = \frac{1}{2} \int \cos(u) \,du = \frac{1}{2} \sin(u) + C_1 = \frac{1}{2} \sin(2x) + C_1
  4. Combine the results.

    12(x−12sin⁡(2x))+C\frac{1}{2} \left( x - \frac{1}{2} \sin(2x) \right) + C =12x−14sin⁡(2x)+C= \frac{1}{2}x - \frac{1}{4}\sin(2x) + C

    The final answer is 12x−14sin⁡(2x)+C\frac{1}{2}x - \frac{1}{4}\sin(2x) + C.
