Solution
a) Use what you have learned about definite integrals to guess the value of this integral.
The addition property of integrals tells us that:
sin(x) + cos(x) dx = sin(x) dx + cos(x) dx.
0

We saw in lecture that sin(x) dx = 2.
0
The value of cos(x) dx equals the (signed) area between the graph of
0
y = cos(x) and the x-axis. Between 0 and the amount of area above the
axis equals the amount below the axis, so cos(x) dx = 0
0
We conclude that:
sin(x) + cos(x) dx = 2.
0
b) Find antiderivatives of sin(x) and cos(x). Check your work. The derivative of sin x is cos x, so sin(x) is an antiderivative of cos(x).
The derivative of cos x is - sin x. To find a function whose derivative is sin(x)
we multiply by -1 to get - cos(x).
Check your work:
d (- cos(x)) = -(- sin(x)) = sin(x); dx
1
d sin(x) = cos(x).
dx
c) Use the addition property of integrals to compute the value of
sin(x) + cos(x) dx.
0
Check your work by comparing to your answer from part a.
sin(x) + cos(x) dx =
sin(x) dx + cos(x) dx (addition property)

0
= - cos(x)|0 + sin(x)|0
(FFT2)
= [- cos() - (- cos(0))] + [sin() - sin(0)]
= [-(-1) + 1] + [0 - 0]
= 2.
This agrees with our answer to part a.
