∫ cos^3( x / 9 ) from -3π/2 to 3π/2
any help would be great. My answer was 9.
∫ cos^3 (x/9) dx
You can use triple angle formula
cos(3A) = 4cos^3(A) - 3cos(A)
So
cos^3(x/9) = (1/4) [cos(x/3) + 3cos(x/9)]
Integration of that is
(1/4) [ 3sin(x/3) + 27sin(x/9) ] + C
= (3/4) [ sin(x/3) + 9sin(x/9) ] + C
when x = 3π/2
(3/4) [ sin(x/3) + 9sin(x/9) ]
= (3/4) [ sin(π/2) + 9sin(π/6) ]
= (3/4) [ 1 + 9(√3 /2) ]
= (3/4) + 27√3 /8
Similarly, when x = -3π/2,
(3/4) [ sin(x/3) + 9sin(x/9) ] = -(3/4) - 27√3 /8
Upper limit - Lower limit
= (3/2) + (27√3 /4)
= (6 + 27√3)/4
â« cos^3( x / 9 ) = (3/4)(9sin(x/9)+sin(x/3) and the definite integral is (3/2)[1+(9/2)sqrt(3)]
