integral of-(cos(2x))/4

\int - \frac{cos ( 2 x )}{4} d x

- \frac{1}{8} sin (2 x) + C

Solution steps

\int - \frac{cos ( 2 x )}{4} d x

Take the constant out:

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

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

Apply u-substitution

= - \frac{1}{4} \cdot \int cos (u) \frac{1}{2} d u

Take the constant out:

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

= - \frac{1}{4} \cdot \frac{1}{2} \cdot \int cos (u) d u

Use the common integral:

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

= - \frac{1}{4} \cdot \frac{1}{2} sin (u)

Substitute back

u = 2 x

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

Simplify

- \frac{1}{4} \cdot \frac{1}{2} sin (2 x) : - \frac{1}{8} sin (2 x)

= - \frac{1}{8} sin (2 x)

Add a constant to the solution

= - \frac{1}{8} sin (2 x) + C
