integral of cos(2/x)

\int cos (\frac{2}{x}) d x

x cos (\frac{2}{x}) + 2 Si (\frac{2}{x}) + C

Solution steps

\int cos (\frac{2}{x}) d x

Apply u-substitution

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

Take the constant out:

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

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

Apply Integration By Parts

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

\int \frac{sin ( u )}{u} d u = Si (u)

= - 2 (- \frac{cos ( u )}{u} - Si (u))

Substitute back

u = \frac{2}{x}

= - 2 (- \frac{cos ( \frac{2}{x} )}{\frac{2}{x}} - Si (\frac{2}{x}))

Simplify

- 2 (- \frac{cos ( \frac{2}{x} )}{\frac{2}{x}} - Si (\frac{2}{x})) : x cos (\frac{2}{x}) + 2 Si (\frac{2}{x})

= x cos (\frac{2}{x}) + 2 Si (\frac{2}{x})

Add a constant to the solution

= x cos (\frac{2}{x}) + 2 Si (\frac{2}{x}) + C
