Integration by parts

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[\int\limits_{}^{} \cos(-10x)dx\] u=-10x

OpenStudy (mimi_x3):

you dont need IBP

OpenStudy (anonymous):

what?

OpenStudy (mimi_x3):

\[\int\limits cosaxdx =\frac{1}{a} sinax+c\]

OpenStudy (raden):

just use the basic formula : int (cosAx) dx = 1/A * sinAx + c

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I don't understand the basic formula

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@Brooke_army "parts" is something else that you may not have seen yet. this type of integration is usually called "u - substitution"

OpenStudy (anonymous):

if you didn't have the \(-10x\) you would have \[\int cos(x)dx=\sin(x)\] because \[\frac{d}{dx}[\sin(x)]=\cos(x)\] but \[\frac{d}{dx}[\sin(-10x)]=-10\cos(-10x)\] by the chain rule therefore, to get what you want, you have to divide by \(-10\)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so if you take the derivative of \(-\frac{1}{10}\sin(-10x)\) you get exactly what you want, namely \(\cos(-10x)\)
