Question: Evaluate the integral. 9 xcos ( 4 x ) dx 9 xcos ( 4 x ) dx To use the integration - by - parts
Evaluate the integral.
xcosxdxxcosxdx
To use the integrationbyparts formula udvuvvduudvuvvdu we must choose one part of xcosxdxxcosxdx to be uu with the rest becoming dvdv
Since the goal is to produce a simpler integral, we will choose uxux This means that
dvdv dxdx
Now, since uxux then dudu dxdx
With our choice that dvcosxdxdvcosxdx then vcosxdxvcosxdx This can be calculated using integration by substitution.
In this case ignoring the constant of integration we get vv
Now, the integrationbyparts formula udvuvvduudvuvvdu gives us
udvuvvduudvuvvdu
xsinxsinxsinxsin xdxxdx
We must use substitution to do this second integral.
We can use the substitution txtx which will give dxdx dtdt
Ignoring the constant of integration, we have
sinxdxsinxdx
Combining our results and including the constant of integration, CC we finally get
xcosxdx
