Simplify the integral: Step 1: Simplify the integral.We need to integrate cos(2θ) from 4π to π.Using the integral formula ∫cos(ax)dx=a1sin(ax)+C, where a=2 here,∫cos(2θ)dθ=21sin(2θ)+C.
Evaluate the definite integral: Step 2: Evaluate the definite integral.Plug in the limits 4π and π into (21)sin(2θ).At θ=π, sin(2π)=0.At θ=4π, sin(2π)=1.So, (21)sin(2π)−(21)sin(2π)=0−21=−21.
Multiply the result: Step 3: Multiply the result by π/4. Multiply −1/2 by π/4 to get the final answer. (π/4)×(−1/2)=−π/8.
