00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:04.052
Here is the problem: integrate sin(x) squared from 0 to pi.

2
00:00:04.502 --> 00:00:10.504
Evaluate the definite integral of sin(x) squared from x equals 0 to x equals pi.

3
00:00:11.304 --> 00:00:13.162
Start with the definite integral.

4
00:00:13.612 --> 00:00:19.220
Power-reducing identity: sin squared u equals (1 minus cos 2u)/2.

5
00:00:19.670 --> 00:00:20.657
Antiderivative.

6
00:00:21.107 --> 00:00:23.731
Apply the fundamental theorem of calculus.

7
00:00:24.531 --> 00:00:31.706
So the answer is 1.570796327 equals pi/2.

8
00:00:32.156 --> 00:00:41.189
A definite integral gives the signed area between the curve and the x-axis: area above the axis counts as positive and area below counts as negative.

9
00:00:41.989 --> 00:00:46.842
Differentiated the antiderivative and compared it with the integrand, which checks out.

10
00:00:47.292 --> 00:00:54.746
Adaptive Simpson prime s rule gives 1.570796327, which checks out.
