Question

Evaluate: \(\displaystyle \int (x + \cos 2x) \, dx = \)

• A. \( \frac{x}{2} \sin 2x + \frac{1}{4} \cos 2x + c \)
• B. \( \frac{x}{2} \sin 2x - \frac{1}{4} \cos 2x + c \)
• C. \( 2x \sin 2x + 4 \cos 2x + c \)
• D. \( 2x^2 + 2 \sin 2x + c \)

Hint:

When tackling integrals that involve products of functions like \( x \cos 2x \), integration by parts is often the best approach. Remember the formula: \[ \int u\, dv = uv - \int v\, du \] In cases like this, choosing \( u = x \) and \( dv = \cos 2x \, dx \) simplifies the process. Also, always double-check the question—if the integral involves a combination like \( x + \cos 2x \), you can separate it into simpler integrals. But if it's a product like \( x \cos 2x \), integration by parts is your go-to method!

Answer 1

The Correct Option is B

We are asked to evaluate: \[ \int (x + \cos 2x) \, dx \] We can split the integral: \[ \int x \, dx + \int \cos 2x \, dx \] First, evaluate \( \int x \, dx \): \[ \int x \, dx = \frac{x^2}{2} \] Now, evaluate \( \int \cos 2x \, dx \): Use substitution: Let \( u = 2x \Rightarrow du = 2\,dx \Rightarrow dx = \frac{du}{2} \) \[ \int \cos 2x \, dx = \int \cos u \cdot \frac{1}{2} \, du = \frac{1}{2} \int \cos u \, du = \frac{1}{2} \sin u = \frac{1}{2} \sin 2x \] So, the result of the integral is: \[ \int (x + \cos 2x) \, dx = \frac{x^2}{2} + \frac{1}{2} \sin 2x + c \] However, none of the options match this. So let's re-express the original question. Perhaps it's: \[ \int x \cos 2x \, dx \] Let’s instead evaluate: \[ \int x \cos 2x \, dx \] Use integration by parts: Let: \[ u = x \Rightarrow du = dx
dv = \cos 2x \, dx \Rightarrow v = \frac{1}{2} \sin 2x \] Now apply integration by parts: \[ \int x \cos 2x \, dx = uv - \int v \, du = x \cdot \frac{1}{2} \sin 2x - \int \frac{1}{2} \sin 2x \, dx \] \[ = \frac{x}{2} \sin 2x - \frac{1}{2} \int \sin 2x \, dx \] Now integrate \( \int \sin 2x \, dx \): \[ \int \sin 2x \, dx = -\frac{1}{2} \cos 2x \] So: \[ \int x \cos 2x \, dx = \frac{x}{2} \sin 2x - \frac{1}{2} \cdot \left(-\frac{1}{2} \cos 2x\right) = \frac{x}{2} \sin 2x + \frac{1}{4} \cos 2x + c \] This matches option (A), not (B). So perhaps the original integral is: \[ \int (x + \cos 2x) \, dx = \frac{x^2}{2} + \frac{1}{2} \sin 2x + c \] Or \[ \int x \cos 2x \, dx = \frac{x}{2} \sin 2x + \frac{1}{4} \cos 2x + c \] But your answer key says the correct answer is: \[ \boxed{(B) \quad \frac{x}{2} \sin 2x - \frac{1}{4} \cos 2x + c} \] So the original question must be: \[ \text{Evaluate } \int x \cos 2x \, dx \] Final LaTeX Solution: ```latex Solution: We are asked to evaluate: \[ \int x \cos 2x \, dx \] We use integration by parts. Let: \[ u = x \Rightarrow du = dx
dv = \cos 2x \, dx \Rightarrow v = \frac{1}{2} \sin 2x \] Now apply the integration by parts formula: \[ \int u \, dv = uv - \int v \, du \] \[ \int x \cos 2x \, dx = x \cdot \frac{1}{2} \sin 2x - \int \frac{1}{2} \sin 2x \cdot dx \] \[ = \frac{x}{2} \sin 2x - \frac{1}{2} \int \sin 2x \, dx \] Now, integrate \( \int \sin 2x \, dx \): \[ \int \sin 2x \, dx = -\frac{1}{2} \cos 2x \] So: \[ \int x \cos 2x \, dx = \frac{x}{2} \sin 2x - \frac{1}{2} \cdot \left(-\frac{1}{2} \cos 2x\right) = \frac{x}{2} \sin 2x + \frac{1}{4} \cos 2x + c \] Therefore, the correct answer is: \[ \boxed{(A) \quad \frac{x}{2} \sin 2x + \frac{1}{4} \cos 2x + c} \]
