how do you integrate (x^9)(cos(x^5))?
\[intx ^{9}cosx ^{5}dx. \]
Possibly integration by parts
i realize that, but should i don't know what values to assign for u and dv. should i substitute before i even use integration by parts?
Try x^9 as u
((x^10)/10)(-sinx(x^5))
What is that Nick, like the teacher says, show your work.
okay Integrate (x^9)we get (x^9+1)/(9+1) intregrate cos(x^5) we get -sin(x^5)
But there is a rule, the two x quantities are multiplied, so you can't integrate straight out, right?
yeah, so you integrate by parts.
yes
substituting u for x^9 doesn't seem to work chaguanas ...
Check this I haven't done integration by parts in a while\[x ^{9}\cos x ^{5}-45x ^{5}\sin x ^{5}\]
+C
wolframalpha will give you the steps as well.
hold on are you sure that the integral of cos x^5 is is -sin x^5 - try differentiating -sin x^5.
Yeah, mine is wrong, see the wolfram watchmath put up. That was the u sub that ecollison was talking about, I missed that.
watchmath thanks! the link was right
But please explain the u sub, they didn't account for the x^9 fully.
u=x^5 not x^9
