Math Problem Statement

∫ (pie/4-x/2) dx

Solution

To solve the integral (π4x2)dx\int \left(\frac{\pi}{4} - \frac{x}{2}\right) \, dx, we can integrate each term separately.

  1. Integrate π4\frac{\pi}{4}: π4dx=π4x\int \frac{\pi}{4} \, dx = \frac{\pi}{4} x

  2. Integrate x2-\frac{x}{2}: x2dx=12x22=x24\int -\frac{x}{2} \, dx = -\frac{1}{2} \cdot \frac{x^2}{2} = -\frac{x^2}{4}

Now, combining these results gives: (π4x2)dx=π4xx24+C\int \left(\frac{\pi}{4} - \frac{x}{2}\right) \, dx = \frac{\pi}{4} x - \frac{x^2}{4} + C

where CC is the constant of integration.

Thus, the final result is: π4xx24+C\frac{\pi}{4} x - \frac{x^2}{4} + C
