`1/3`

Show Worked Solution

`int_0^(pi/12) sec^2 3x\ dx`

`= [1/3 tan 3x]_0^(pi/12)`

`= [(1/3 tan (pi/4))-(1/3 tan 0)]`

`= 1/3(1)-0=1/3`

Find  `int_0^(pi/2) sec^2 (x/2)\ dx`   (3 marks)

--- 5 WORK AREA LINES (style=lined) ---

 

Show Answers Only

`2`

Show Worked Solution

 `int_0^(pi/2) sec^2 (x/2)\ dx`

`= [2 tan(x/2)]_0^(pi/2)`

`= 2 tan\ pi/4-2 tan 0`

`= 2(1)-0=2`
