What is indefinite integral of cos^2(3x)?

To calculate the indefinite integral of the given
function, we'll have to recall the half angle
identity:


(cos 3x)^2 = (1 + cos
6x)/2


We'll evaluate the indefinite
integral:


Int (cos 3x)^2dx = Int (1 + cos
6x)dx/2


We'll apply the property of integral to be
additive:


Int (1 + cos 6x)dx/2 = Int dx/2 + Int cos 6x
dx/2


Int (1 + cos 6x)dx/2 = x/2 + sin 6x/12 +
C


The indefinite integral of the given
function is: F(x)=x/2 + sin 6x/12 + C.
