Integrate: 1st step: what method of integration should we use?

u = cos x

v' =1
None other than integration by parts

So let

and :

u = cos x O1 v' =1
Then we obtain:

u' =

1 1 x
2

M 2 v=x
x 1 x
2

cos xdx = x cos x +


1 1

dx

= x cos x +
1

x 1 x
2

dx

1 x
So solving problems with at the denominator we usually relate to integration by substitution: So continue with the previous step we get:

x = sinu dx = cosu du

sin u cos u = x cos x + du cos u


1

= x cos x cos u
cos u = 1 sin u = 1 x
2
Since:

cos xdx = x cos x 1 x + C


1 1 2
