This calculator helps you compute integrals of trigonometric functions including sine, cosine, tangent, and their inverses. Whether you're a student studying calculus or a professional working with trigonometric integrals, this tool provides accurate results and detailed explanations.

How to Use This Calculator

Using the trigonometric integral calculator is straightforward:

Select the trigonometric function you want to integrate (sin, cos, tan, etc.).
Enter the upper and lower limits of integration.
Click "Calculate" to compute the integral.
Review the result and the step-by-step solution.

The calculator supports both definite and indefinite integrals. For definite integrals, you'll need to provide both upper and lower limits. The result will be displayed in a clear format with the integral notation and the computed value.

Key Formulas

The calculator uses standard integral formulas for trigonometric functions. Here are some of the key formulas:

Indefinite Integrals

∫ sin(x) dx = -cos(x) + C

∫ cos(x) dx = sin(x) + C

∫ tan(x) dx = -ln|cos(x)| + C

∫ sec(x) dx = ln|sec(x) + tan(x)| + C

Definite Integrals

∫[a to b] sin(x) dx = -cos(b) + cos(a)

∫[a to b] cos(x) dx = sin(b) - sin(a)

∫[a to b] tan(x) dx = -ln|cos(b)| + ln|cos(a)|

The calculator applies these formulas to compute the integrals based on the user's input. The result is displayed in a clear format with the integral notation and the computed value.

Worked Examples

Let's look at a few examples to see how the calculator works in practice.

Example 1: Indefinite Integral of sin(x)

Compute ∫ sin(x) dx.

Using the formula: ∫ sin(x) dx = -cos(x) + C.

The calculator will display the result as: -cos(x) + C.

Example 2: Definite Integral of cos(x)

Compute ∫[0 to π/2] cos(x) dx.

Using the formula: ∫[0 to π/2] cos(x) dx = sin(π/2) - sin(0) = 1 - 0 = 1.

The calculator will display the result as: 1.

Example 3: Integral of tan(x)

Compute ∫ tan(x) dx.

Using the formula: ∫ tan(x) dx = -ln|cos(x)| + C.

The calculator will display the result as: -ln|cos(x)| + C.
