Integral (sin^2[2pi(x)]) dx
To solve this integral, you use the half angle identity:
sin^2(y) = (1/2)(1 - cos2y)
In our case, y = 2pi(x), so our integral becomes
Integral ( [1/2] [1 - cos(2[2pi(x)]) ) dx
Pull the constant (1/2) out of the integral, to get
(1/2) * Integral (1 - cos (2[2pi(x)]) ) dx
Reducing the stuff inside of the cosine,
(1/2) * Integral (1 - cos [4pi(x)] ) dx
And now, we have a linear function inside of the cosine, making it easily integrable. All we have to do is divide by 4pi to offset the chain rule. Our answer is
(1/2) * [x - (1/(4pi)) sin(4pi(x))] + C
Simplifying,
(1/2)x - (1/[8pi]) sin[4pi(x)] + C

Note that cos 2A = cos^2 A - sin^2 A = 1 - 2 sin^2 A.
So sin^2 (2Ïx) = (1 - cos (4Ïx))/2.
Hence â« sin^2 (2Ïx) dx = â« (1 - cos (4Ïx))/2 dx
= x/2 - sin (4Ïx) / (2.(4Ï)) + c
= x/2 - sin (4Ïx) / 8Ï + c.
