integral of-1/4 sin(2x)

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

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

Solution steps

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

Apply u-substitution

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

Use the common integral:

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

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

Substitute back

u = 2 x

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

Simplify

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

= \frac{1}{8} cos (2 x)

Add a constant to the solution

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