Question
Evaluate the following integrals:
$\int\limits^\frac{\pi}{2}_{-\frac{\pi}{2}} \cos^2\text{x}\text{ dx}$

Answer

$\int\limits^\frac{\pi}{2}_{-\frac{\pi}{2}} \cos^2\text{x}\text{ dx}$
$= \int\limits^\frac{\pi}{2}_{-\frac{\pi}{2}}\frac{1+\cos2\text{x}}{2}\text{dx}$
$=\frac{1}{2}\int\limits^\frac{\pi}{2}_{-\frac{\pi}{2}}(1+\cos2\text{x})\text{dx}$
$=\frac{1}{2}\Big[\text{x}+\frac{\sin2\text{x}}{2}\Big]^\frac{\pi}{2}_{-\frac{\pi}{2}}$
$=\frac{1}{2}\Big(\frac{\pi}{2}+0+\frac{\pi}{2}-0\Big)$
$=\frac{\pi}{2}$
