Question
Evaluate the definite integral in Exercise:
$\int\limits_{0}^{\frac{\pi}{2}}\cos^{2}\text{x}\ \text{dx}$

Answer

$\text{Let}\ \text{I}=\int\limits_{0}^{\frac{\pi}{2}}\cos^{2}\text{x}\ \text{dx}$$\int\cos^{2}\text{x}\ \text{dx}=\int\bigg(\frac{1+\cos2\text{x}}{2}\bigg)\text{dx}=\frac{\text{x}}{2}+\frac{\sin2\text{x}}{4}=\frac{1}{2}\bigg(\text{x}+\frac{\sin2\text{x}}{2}\bigg)=\text{F}\text{(x)}$ By second fundamental theorem of calculus, we obtin $\text{I}=\bigg[\text{F}\bigg(\frac{\pi}{2}\bigg)-\text{F}(0)\bigg]$$=\frac{1}{2}\Bigg[\bigg(\frac{\pi}{2}-\frac{\sin\pi}{2}\bigg)-\bigg(0+\frac{\sin0}{2}\bigg)\Bigg]$
$=\frac{1}{2}\bigg[\frac{\pi}{2}+0-0-0\bigg]$
$=\frac{\pi}{4}$
