integrate:
4*cos(n pi t) d(t)
Homework Equations
The Attempt at a Solution
is it: [4sin(n pi t)]/n.pi
or
[4t sin (n pi t)]/n.pi
any help very much welcome.
. What should you let u be? What is du?[/QUOTE]HallsofIvy said:What do you get if you differentiate those?
[itex]\int cos(u)du= sin(u)+ C
The formula for the integration of 4cos(n pi t) is ∫4cos(n pi t) dt = 4 sin(n pi t)/n pi + C, where C is the constant of integration.
The variable "n" represents the frequency of the cosine function. It determines how many complete cycles the function will complete in one unit of time.
Yes, the integration can be simplified by using trigonometric identities such as cos^2(x) = (1+cos(2x))/2 and sin^2(x) = (1-cos(2x))/2.
Changing the value of "n" will affect the frequency of the cosine function and consequently, the number of cycles completed in one unit of time. This will result in a change in the amplitude and period of the integrated function.
The integration of 4cos(n pi t) has various applications in physics, engineering, and mathematics. It can be used to model oscillating systems, analyze sound and vibration waves, and solve problems related to electrical circuits and mechanical systems.
