Find the integral of the following equation: y = cos^2(x)

First convert y into a suitably form.cos(2x) = 1 - 2cos2(x)cos2x = (1-cos(2x))/2
integral of y = integral of (1-cos(2x))/2 = (1/2)*(x-(1/2)sin(2x)) + C = x/2 - sin(2x)/4 + C

Show that the equation 2sin^2(x) + 3sin(x) = 2cos(2x) + 3 can be written as 6sin^2(x)+3sin(x) - 5 = 0. Hence solve for 0 < x < 360 degrees. Giving your answers to 1.d.p.
