Answer

$\int_{0}^{0.5} cos(x^2)~dx \gt \int_{0}^{0.5} cos(\sqrt{x})~dx$

Work Step by Step

On the interval $0 \leq x \leq 0.5$: $0 \leq x^2 \leq \sqrt{x}$ $1 \geq cos(x^2) \geq cos(\sqrt{x})$ Therefore, by Property 7: $\int_{0}^{0.5} cos(x^2)~dx \geq \int_{0}^{0.5} cos(\sqrt{x})~dx$ On the interval $0 \lt x \leq 0.5$: $0 \lt x^2 \lt \sqrt{x}$ $1 \gt cos(x^2) \gt cos(\sqrt{x})$ Therefore: $\int_{0}^{0.5} cos(x^2)~dx \gt \int_{0}^{0.5} cos(\sqrt{x})~dx$
