#How do i solve this integral?

this looks interesting
ok try using the identity $\cos(2x)=\cos^{2}(x)-\sin^{2}(x)$
chudcel
Id use sin^2 (x)=(1-cos(2x))/2
so then its 1/4 integral os cos2x-cos^2(2x)
then use cos^2x = 1/2(1+cos2x)?
it should be a sin4x/8
?
for the first one with the cos2x, that +sin4x should be a -sin4x
your answer for the second integral looks way too complicated
i got a very simple answer
wait, what is all those fractions at the very bottom?
i used a different method for the second one, and got $\left(\frac{\cos4x}{32}-\frac{\cos2x}{8}\right)$

but i checked it, and both are correct - they differ by a constant
though i think we need a +C at the end
Im solving for yp
We had to use the parameter method
what is the parameter method
