integral of sin(2x)cos(nx)

\int sin (2 x) cos (n x) d x

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

Solution steps

\int sin (2 x) cos (n x) d x

Use the following identity:

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

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

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

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

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

Add a constant to the solution

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