integral of-cos(ax)

\int - cos (a x) d x

- \frac{1}{a} sin (a x) + C

Solution steps

\int - cos (a x) d x

Take the constant out:

\int a \cdot f (x) d x = a \cdot \int f (x) d x

= - \int cos (a x) d x

Apply u-substitution

: \int \frac{cos ( u )}{a} d u

= - \int \frac{cos ( u )}{a} d u

Take the constant out:

\int a \cdot f (x) d x = a \cdot \int f (x) d x

= - \frac{1}{a} \cdot \int cos (u) d u

Use the common integral:

\int cos (u) d u = sin (u)

= - \frac{1}{a} sin (u)

Substitute back

u = a x

= - \frac{1}{a} sin (a x)

Add a constant to the solution

= - \frac{1}{a} sin (a x) + C

\int \frac{4}{3} π x^{3} d x

\int - \frac{x}{( x + 1 ) - x + 1} d x

\int e^{5 x} d x

\int x^{3} (x + 2) d x

\int sin^{5} (θ) d θ
