integral of-2cos(2x)

integral

- 2 cos (2 x)

- sin (2 x) + C

Solution steps

\int - 2 cos (2 x) d x

Take the constant out:

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

= - 2 \cdot \int cos (2 x) d x

Apply u-substitution

: \int cos (u) \frac{1}{2} d u

= - 2 \cdot \int cos (u) \frac{1}{2} d u

Take the constant out:

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

= - 2 \cdot \frac{1}{2} \cdot \int cos (u) d u

Use the common integral:

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

= - 2 \cdot \frac{1}{2} sin (u)

Substitute back

u = 2 x

= - 2 \cdot \frac{1}{2} sin (2 x)

Simplify

- 2 \cdot \frac{1}{2} sin (2 x) : - sin (2 x)

= - sin (2 x)

Add a constant to the solution

= - sin (2 x) + C

\frac{( 16 - x )}{( 4 + x )}

\frac{1}{2 + x ^{2}}

sin^{2} (x) - cos^{2} (x)

\frac{( x )}{( 1 - x )}

\frac{x}{2 - 1}
