When calculating

cos2xdx

we need to remember that

cos2x=2cos2x1cos2x=1+cos2x2

which allows us to turn the cos2x into something we can integrate.

Something very similar works for integrating sin2x, as we'll see in the examples.


Find the following integrals:

  1. cos2(x)dx
  2. sin2(x)dx
  3. sin2(2x)cos2(x3)dx
