Integral of cos2x

Find the integral cos2xdx Use the trigonometric identity cos2x=12(1+cos(2x)) to write
cos2xdx=12(1+cos(2x))dx
Use the sum rule of integrals (f(x)+g(x))dx=f(x)dx+g(x)dx to rewrite the integral as cos2xdx=12dx+cos(2x))dx Use the common integrals dx=x and cos(2x)dx=12sin(2x) to write the final result as cos2xdx=12x+14sin(2x)+c
