How to you turn a number into an answer with pi in it?
I'm very sorry in advance that I do not have the vocabulary to ask this question in the most concise way possible. If I did know all the correct terminology I might have been able to google my question, but here I am instead! What I am trying to learn how to do better is inputting integrals into a TI-84 Plus graphing calculator. I am currently entering #int_0^(pi/4)(cos2theta)^2(d theta)# into the calculator, with the answer "0.3926990817", which I understand is correct. So that's cool. I also know from typing the same integral in to an online calculator that this number is the same as #pi/8# , but I only know that because I was able to type it into an online calculator, which I obviously won't be able to use during tests or quizzes. So my question is, how would I convert that decimal number my graphing calculator gave me into #pi/8# using the calculator?
Note: Also, if there happen to be any tips that compliment the answer to my above question regarding solving double or triple integrals using a graphing calculator would be greatly appreciated!
Thank you in advance!
