Simplify

Detail solution

Rewrite the integrand:

$\cos^{4}{\left(\frac{x}{2} \right)} = \left(\frac{\cos{\left(x \right)}}{2} + \frac{1}{2}\right)^{2}$
There are multiple ways to do this integral.
Method #1
1. Rewrite the integrand:
  
  $\left(\frac{\cos{\left(x \right)}}{2} + \frac{1}{2}\right)^{2} = \frac{\cos^{2}{\left(x \right)}}{4} + \frac{\cos{\left(x \right)}}{2} + \frac{1}{4}$
2. Integrate term-by-term:
  1. The integral of a constant times a function is the constant times the integral of the function:
    
    $\int \frac{\cos^{2}{\left(x \right)}}{4}\, dx = \frac{\int \cos^{2}{\left(x \right)}\, dx}{4}$
    1. Rewrite the integrand:
      
      $\cos^{2}{\left(x \right)} = \frac{\cos{\left(2 x \right)}}{2} + \frac{1}{2}$
    2. Integrate term-by-term:
      
      The integral of a constant times a function is the constant times the integral of the function:
      
      $\int \frac{\cos{\left(2 x \right)}}{2}\, dx = \frac{\int \cos{\left(2 x \right)}\, dx}{2}$
      
      Let $u = 2 x$ .
      
      Then let $du = 2 dx$ and substitute $\frac{du}{2}$ :
      
      $\int \frac{\cos{\left(u \right)}}{4}\, du$
      
      The integral of a constant times a function is the constant times the integral of the function:
      
      $\int \frac{\cos{\left(u \right)}}{2}\, du = \frac{\int \cos{\left(u \right)}\, du}{2}$
      
      The integral of cosine is sine:
      
      $\int \cos{\left(u \right)}\, du = \sin{\left(u \right)}$
      
      So, the result is: $\frac{\sin{\left(u \right)}}{2}$
      
      Now substitute $u$ back in:
      
      $\frac{\sin{\left(2 x \right)}}{2}$
      
      So, the result is: $\frac{\sin{\left(2 x \right)}}{4}$
      
      The integral of a constant is the constant times the variable of integration:
      
      $\int \frac{1}{2}\, dx = \frac{x}{2}$
      
      The result is: $\frac{x}{2} + \frac{\sin{\left(2 x \right)}}{4}$
    So, the result is: $\frac{x}{8} + \frac{\sin{\left(2 x \right)}}{16}$
  1. The integral of a constant times a function is the constant times the integral of the function:
    
    $\int \frac{\cos{\left(x \right)}}{2}\, dx = \frac{\int \cos{\left(x \right)}\, dx}{2}$
    1. The integral of cosine is sine:
      
      $\int \cos{\left(x \right)}\, dx = \sin{\left(x \right)}$
    So, the result is: $\frac{\sin{\left(x \right)}}{2}$
  1. The integral of a constant is the constant times the variable of integration:
    
    $\int \frac{1}{4}\, dx = \frac{x}{4}$
  The result is: $\frac{3 x}{8} + \frac{\sin{\left(x \right)}}{2} + \frac{\sin{\left(2 x \right)}}{16}$
Method #2
1. Rewrite the integrand:
  
  $\left(\frac{\cos{\left(x \right)}}{2} + \frac{1}{2}\right)^{2} = \frac{\cos^{2}{\left(x \right)}}{4} + \frac{\cos{\left(x \right)}}{2} + \frac{1}{4}$
2. Integrate term-by-term:
  1. The integral of a constant times a function is the constant times the integral of the function:
    
    $\int \frac{\cos^{2}{\left(x \right)}}{4}\, dx = \frac{\int \cos^{2}{\left(x \right)}\, dx}{4}$
    1. Rewrite the integrand:
      
      $\cos^{2}{\left(x \right)} = \frac{\cos{\left(2 x \right)}}{2} + \frac{1}{2}$
    2. Integrate term-by-term:
      
      The integral of a constant times a function is the constant times the integral of the function:
      
      $\int \frac{\cos{\left(2 x \right)}}{2}\, dx = \frac{\int \cos{\left(2 x \right)}\, dx}{2}$
      
      Let $u = 2 x$ .
      
      Then let $du = 2 dx$ and substitute $\frac{du}{2}$ :
      
      $\int \frac{\cos{\left(u \right)}}{4}\, du$
      
      The integral of a constant times a function is the constant times the integral of the function:
      
      $\int \frac{\cos{\left(u \right)}}{2}\, du = \frac{\int \cos{\left(u \right)}\, du}{2}$
      
      The integral of cosine is sine:
      
      $\int \cos{\left(u \right)}\, du = \sin{\left(u \right)}$
      
      So, the result is: $\frac{\sin{\left(u \right)}}{2}$
      
      Now substitute $u$ back in:
      
      $\frac{\sin{\left(2 x \right)}}{2}$
      
      So, the result is: $\frac{\sin{\left(2 x \right)}}{4}$
      
      The integral of a constant is the constant times the variable of integration:
      
      $\int \frac{1}{2}\, dx = \frac{x}{2}$
      
      The result is: $\frac{x}{2} + \frac{\sin{\left(2 x \right)}}{4}$
    So, the result is: $\frac{x}{8} + \frac{\sin{\left(2 x \right)}}{16}$
  1. The integral of a constant times a function is the constant times the integral of the function:
    
    $\int \frac{\cos{\left(x \right)}}{2}\, dx = \frac{\int \cos{\left(x \right)}\, dx}{2}$
    1. The integral of cosine is sine:
      
      $\int \cos{\left(x \right)}\, dx = \sin{\left(x \right)}$
    So, the result is: $\frac{\sin{\left(x \right)}}{2}$
  1. The integral of a constant is the constant times the variable of integration:
    
    $\int \frac{1}{4}\, dx = \frac{x}{4}$
  The result is: $\frac{3 x}{8} + \frac{\sin{\left(x \right)}}{2} + \frac{\sin{\left(2 x \right)}}{16}$
Add the constant of integration:

$\frac{3 x}{8} + \frac{\sin{\left(x \right)}}{2} + \frac{\sin{\left(2 x \right)}}{16}+ \mathrm{constant}$

The answer is:

\frac{3 x}{8} + \frac{\sin{\left(x \right)}}{2} + \frac{\sin{\left(2 x \right)}}{16}+ \mathrm{constant}
