A + B = 2 ((A+B)/(2)) ((A-B)/(2))$$\sin A + \sin B = 2 \sin\left(\frac{A+B}{2}\right) \cos\left(\frac{A-B}{2}\right)$$2x = 2 x x$$\sin 2x = 2 \sin x \cos x$$2x = 2 ² x - 1$$\cos 2x = 2 \cos^2 x - 1$$
Core Logic
Let I = 6∫₀π| 3x + x + 2x| dx$I = 6\int_{0}^{\pi}|\sin 3x + \sin x + \sin 2x| dx$.
Apply sum-to-product on 3x + x$\sin 3x + \sin x$:
3x + x = 2 (2x) (x)$\sin 3x + \sin x = 2 \sin(2x) \cos(x)$
So the expression becomes:
|2 (2x) x + 2x| = | 2x (2 x + 1)| = |2 x x (2 x + 1)|$|2 \sin(2x) \cos x + \sin 2x| = |\sin 2x (2 \cos x + 1)| = |2 \sin x \cos x (2 \cos x + 1)|$
Since x in [0, π]$x \in [0, \pi]$, x ≥ 0$\sin x \geq 0$. We can pull it out of the modulus.
I = 12 ∫₀π x |2 ² x + x| dx$I = 12 \int_{0}^{\pi} \sin x |2 \cos^2 x + \cos x| dx$
Step 1: Coordinate Substitution
Substitute t = x$t = \cos x$, then dt = - x dx$dt = -\sin x dx$.
Limits: when x = 0$x = 0$, t = 1$t = 1$. When x = π$x = \pi$, t = -1$t = -1$.
The roots of 2t² + t = 0$2t^2 + t = 0$ are t = 0$t = 0$ and t = -1/2$t = -1/2$.
The quadratic 2t² + t$2t^2 + t$ is negative in the interval (-1/2, 0)$(-1/2, 0)$ and positive elsewhere.
Split the integral:
Whenever an integral features a cascading sum of sine frequencies like (kx)$\sin(kx)$, pair the highest and lowest frequencies first. The resulting common factor often matches the middle term, instantly yielding a clean polynomial substitution under t = x$t = \cos x$.

The Leibniz Integral Rule template allows direct differentiation of an integral with variable limits:
When an equation contains a variable integral limit ∫₀^x$\int_0^x$, differentiating both sides using the Leibniz rule converts it into a standard differential equation. The initial value is found by setting x = 0$x = 0$ directly in the original expression.
