integral of (sin^2(x/2))

\int (sin^{2} (\frac{x}{2})) d x

\frac{1}{2} (x - sin (x)) + C

Solution steps

\int sin^{2} (\frac{x}{2}) d x

Rewrite using trig identities

= \int \frac{1}{2} (1 - cos (x)) d x

Take the constant out:

\int a \cdot f (x) d x = a \cdot \int f (x) d x

= \frac{1}{2} \cdot \int 1 - cos (x) d x

Apply the Sum Rule:

\int f (x) \pm g (x) d x = \int f (x) d x \pm \int g (x) d x

= \frac{1}{2} (\int 1 d x - \int cos (x) d x)

\int 1 d x = x

\int cos (x) d x = sin (x)

= \frac{1}{2} (x - sin (x))

Add a constant to the solution

= \frac{1}{2} (x - sin (x)) + C

\int \frac{x ^{4}}{( 1 - x ^{2} ) ^{3}} d x

\int \frac{s}{3 - 2 s - s ^{2}} d s

\int \frac{x ^{3} ln ( x )}{2} d x

\int (x^{5} - x^{3} + x) e^{- x} d x

\int 2 x arccos (x) d x
