integral of xcos(nx)

\int x cos (n x) d x

\frac{1}{n ^{2}} (n x sin (n x) + cos (n x)) + C

Solution steps

\int x cos (n x) d x

Apply u-substitution

= \int \frac{u cos ( u )}{n ^{2}} d u

Take the constant out:

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

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

Apply Integration By Parts

= \frac{1}{n ^{2}} (u sin (u) - \int sin (u) d u)

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

= \frac{1}{n ^{2}} (u sin (u) - (- cos (u)))

Substitute back

u = n x

= \frac{1}{n ^{2}} (n x sin (n x) - (- cos (n x)))

Simplify

= \frac{1}{n ^{2}} (n x sin (n x) + cos (n x))

Add a constant to the solution

= \frac{1}{n ^{2}} (n x sin (n x) + cos (n x)) + C
