Question

Use a computer algebra system to evaluate the following integral. Find both an exact result and an approximate result for each definite integral. Assume a is a positive real number. 0π/2cos6xdx\int_{0}^{\pi / 2} \cos ^{6} x d x

Solution

Verified
Step 1
1 of 2

Using the Computer Algebra System, this integral is equal to

5π32,\boxed{\color{#4257b2}\frac{5\pi}{32}},

or approximately

0.49087.\boxed{\color{#4257b2}0.49087}.

Note:\text{\underline{Note:}} You might get a different result, depending on a CAS being used, but the approximation must be equal.
