integral of 2sin^2(x)

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

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

Solution steps

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

Take the constant out:

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

= 2 \cdot \int sin^{2} (x) d x

Rewrite using trig identities

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

Take the constant out:

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

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

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

\int 1 d x = x

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

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

Simplify

2 \cdot \frac{1}{2} (x - \frac{1}{2} sin (2 x)) : x - \frac{1}{2} sin (2 x)

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

Add a constant to the solution

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