sin(2x)
I'm entering the following code......
syms x
int(sin(2*x))
The answer MATLAB is displaying is.....
ans =
sin(x)^2
The answer I'm looking for is....... (-1/2)*cos(2x)+c

(-1/2)*cos(2x)=(-1/2)*(cos^2(x)-sin^2(x))
=(-1/2)*(1-sin^2(x)-sin^2(x))
=(-1/2)+sin^2(x)
=sin^2(x)+c
The result found by Matlab and yours are the same

@Shane Yost: Interesting, isn't it? Matlab replied the correct result, but you've expected another correct result.
