If a real function has a domain that is self-symmetric with respect to the origin, it may be uniquely decomposed as the sum of an even and an odd function, which are called respectively the even part (or the even component) and the odd part (or the odd component) of the function, and are defined by = + (), and = ().
That is, ω acts like an even function. This is the same as the symmetry of the cosine, which is an even function, so the mnemonic tells us to use the substitution = (rule 1). Under this substitution, the integral becomes . The integrand involving transcendental functions has been reduced to one involving a rational function (a constant).
This directly results from the fact that the integrand e −t 2 is an even function (the antiderivative of an even function which is zero at the origin is an odd function and vice versa).
The function 2 sin(x) is an odd function in the variable x and the disc T is symmetric with respect to the y-axis, so the value of the first integral is 0. Similarly, the function 3y 3 is an odd function of y, and T is symmetric with respect to the x-axis, and so the only
These 2 latter inequalities follow from the convexity of the exponential function (or from an analysis of the function ). Letting u = x 2 {\displaystyle u=x^{2}} and making use of the basic properties of improper integrals (the convergence of the integrals is obvious), we obtain the inequalities:
The multiplication rules for even and odd functions shown in the overbraces in the following equations dramatically simplify the integrands when transforming even and odd functions. Some authors [ 1 ] even only define the cosine transform for even functions f even ( t ) {\displaystyle f_{\text{even}}(t)} .
In integral calculus, Euler's formula for complex numbers may be used to evaluate integrals involving trigonometric functions. Using Euler's formula, any trigonometric function may be written in terms of complex exponential functions, namely e i x {\displaystyle e^{ix}} and e − i x {\displaystyle e^{-ix}} and then integrated.
Integration is the basic operation in integral calculus.While differentiation has straightforward rules by which the derivative of a complicated function can be found by differentiating its simpler component functions, integration does not, so tables of known integrals are often useful.
