integral of sin(4x)cos(x)

\int sin (4 x) cos (x) d x

\frac{1}{2} (- \frac{1}{5} cos (5 x) - \frac{1}{3} cos (3 x)) + C

Solution steps

\int sin (4 x) cos (x) d x

Use the following identity:

cos (t) sin (s) = \frac{sin ( s + t ) + sin ( s - t )}{2}

= \int \frac{sin ( 4 x + x ) + sin ( 4 x - x )}{2} d x

Take the constant out:

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

= \frac{1}{2} \cdot \int sin (4 x + x) + sin (4 x - x) d x

Apply the Sum Rule:

\int f (x) \pm g (x) d x = \int f (x) d x \pm \int g (x) d x

= \frac{1}{2} (\int sin (4 x + x) d x + \int sin (4 x - x) d x)

\int sin (4 x + x) d x = - \frac{1}{5} cos (5 x)

\int sin (4 x - x) d x = - \frac{1}{3} cos (3 x)

= \frac{1}{2} (- \frac{1}{5} cos (5 x) - \frac{1}{3} cos (3 x))

Add a constant to the solution

= \frac{1}{2} (- \frac{1}{5} cos (5 x) - \frac{1}{3} cos (3 x)) + C
