The average value of the function f(x) on the interval [a,b] can be evaluated through the following the following expression:
average value = 1 b a a b f ( x ) d x
Here, this gives us an average value of:
1 π 2 0 0 π 2 cos ( x ) d x
Integrating cos ( x ) gives us sin ( x ) :
= 1 π 2 [ sin ( x ) ] 0 π 2
= 2 π [ sin ( π 2 ) sin ( 0 ) ]
= 2 π [ 1 0 ]
= 2 π
