2.2 Trigonometric Integrals

In this lesson, you will learn about trigonometric integrals.

Lesson Objectives

  • Recognize the trigonometric integrals that can be evaluated by inspection, using a basic identity, or using a basic (u) substitution.
  • Apply techniques for integrating products and powers of sine and cosine, tangent and secant, and cotangent and cosecant.
  • Derive and apply reduction formulas for integrating powers of trigonometric functions.
