OpenStudy (turingtest):

what subs have you tried?

OpenStudy (turingtest):

wait, is this\[\int-6x\cos(2x)dx\]?

OpenStudy (turingtest):

substitution will not work, you will need integration by parts do you know how to do that? -oh, that's what you meant...

OpenStudy (turingtest):

so what have you tried for your substitutions? u=? dv=?

OpenStudy (turingtest):

v is incorrect

OpenStudy (turingtest):

now u du is incorrect as well you were right the first time du=-6

OpenStudy (turingtest):

you do carry dx to the other side, not x\[u=-6x\implies du=-6dx\](it's not really a derivative, it's a differential; remember those from calc I?)

OpenStudy (turingtest):

good :) to find v we need\[v=\int dv=\int\cos(2x)dx\]which requires a u-substitution try that integral again and tell me what v is ;)

OpenStudy (turingtest):

\[v=\frac12\sin(2x)\]

OpenStudy (turingtest):

no wait, you got that wrong

OpenStudy (turingtest):

the formula for integration by parts is\[\int udv=uv-\int vdu\]try plugging in what we found for u,v, and du again

OpenStudy (turingtest):

\[dv=\cos(2x)\implies v=\frac12\sin(2x)\]\[u=-6x\implies du=-6dx\]\[\int udv=uv-\int vdu\]\[\int-6x\cos(2x)dx=-3\sin(2x)+3\int\sin(2x)dx\]

OpenStudy (turingtest):

um... I'm not sure what you are seeing right-click the math font that you cannot read and go to "math settings" there you can try to mess with the zoom or the render

OpenStudy (turingtest):

I hope you can see it now and it's fine, I actually learned something by messing with it myself :) anyway, yeah integrate and add C
