Full solution

Q. π4πcos(2θ)dθ \int_{\frac{\pi}{4}}^{\pi} \cos (2 \theta) d \theta
  1. Simplify using trigonometric identity: Step 11: Simplify the integral using a trigonometric identity.\newlineWe know that cos(2θ)=12sin2(θ) \cos(2\theta) = 1 - 2\sin^2(\theta) . However, for this integral, we directly integrate cos(2θ) \cos(2\theta) without substitution.
  2. Integrate cosine function: Step 22: Integrate cos(2θ) \cos(2\theta) .\newlineThe integral of cos(2θ) \cos(2\theta) is 12sin(2θ) \frac{1}{2}\sin(2\theta) plus a constant, but the constant is not needed for definite integrals.
  3. Evaluate integral from limits: Step 33: Evaluate the integral from π4 \frac{\pi}{4} to π \pi .\newlineSubstitute the limits into the integrated function:\newline12sin(2π)12sin(2π4) \frac{1}{2}\sin(2\pi) - \frac{1}{2}\sin(2 \cdot \frac{\pi}{4}) \newline=12(0)12(0) = \frac{1}{2}(0) - \frac{1}{2}(0) \newline=00 = 0 - 0 \newline=0 = 0
