integral of 2sin(ax)

\int 2 sin (a x) d x

- \frac{2}{a} cos (a x) + C

Solution steps

\int 2 sin (a x) d x

Take the constant out:

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

= 2 \cdot \int sin (a x) d x

Apply u-substitution

= 2 \cdot \int \frac{sin ( u )}{a} d u

Take the constant out:

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

= 2 \cdot \frac{1}{a} \cdot \int sin (u) d u

Use the common integral:

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

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

Substitute back

u = a x

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

Simplify

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

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

Add a constant to the solution

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