Answer

$\dfrac{x}{2}-\sin (\dfrac{x}{2} )+C$

Work Step by Step

Use formula $\int x^{a} dx=\dfrac{x^{a+1}}{n+1}+c$ where $c$ is a constant of proportionality. As we know that $(1-\cos^2 x)=\sin^2 x$ Then, we get $\int \sin^2 (\dfrac{x}{4}) dx= \int \dfrac{1-\cos (\dfrac{x}{2})}{2}$ $\implies (\dfrac{1}{2}) x- \int \dfrac{\cos (x/2)}{2}dx=(\dfrac{1}{2}) x-\dfrac{1}{2} [(1/(\dfrac{1}{2} ) \sin (\dfrac{x}{2} )]+C$ Thus, $\int \sin^2 (\dfrac{x}{4} ) dx=\dfrac{x}{2}-\sin (\dfrac{x}{2} )+C$
