Question
Evaluate the following integrals:
$\int\frac{\cos^2\text{x}-\sin^2\text{x}}{\sqrt{1+\cos4\text{x}}}\text{dx}$

Answer

$\int\Big(\frac{\cos^2\text{x}-\sin^2\text{x}}{\sqrt{1+\cos4\text{x}}}\Big)\text{x}$
$=\int\frac{\cos(2\text{x})}{\sqrt{2\cos^2(2\text{x})}}\text{dx}$ $\Big[\therefore1+\cos\text{A}=2\cos^2\Big(\frac{\text{A}}{2}\Big)\text{ and }\cos^2\text{A}-\sin^2\text{A}=\cos\text{2A}\Big]$
$=\frac{1}{\sqrt2}\int\Big(\frac{\cos2\text{x}}{\cos\text{2x}}\Big)\text{dx}$
$=\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}[\text{x}]+\text{C}$
$=\frac{\text{x}}{\sqrt{2}}+\text{C}$
