integral from 0 to pi of cos^4(x)

\int_{0}^{π} cos^{4} (x) d x

\frac{3 π}{8}

Decimal

1.17809 \dots

Solution steps

\int_{0}^{π} cos^{4} (x) d x

Simplify

cos^{4} (x) : cos^{3} (x) cos (x)

= \int_{0}^{π} cos^{3} (x) cos (x) d x

Apply Integration By Parts

= [cos^{3} (x) sin (x) - \int - 3 cos^{2} (x) sin^{2} (x) d x]_{0}^{π}

\int - 3 cos^{2} (x) sin^{2} (x) d x = - \frac{3}{8} (x - \frac{1}{4} sin (4 x))

= [cos^{3} (x) sin (x) - (- \frac{3}{8} (x - \frac{1}{4} sin (4 x)))]_{0}^{π}

Simplify

[cos^{3} (x) sin (x) - (- \frac{3}{8} (x - \frac{1}{4} sin (4 x)))]_{0}^{π} : [\frac{1}{32} (32 cos^{3} (x) sin (x) + 3 (4 x - sin (4 x)))]_{0}^{π}

= [\frac{1}{32} (32 cos^{3} (x) sin (x) + 3 (4 x - sin (4 x)))]_{0}^{π}

Compute the boundaries:
