Integrate cos(3x) dx

Worked through step by step. More integrals.

Answer
13sin(3x)+C\boxed{\frac{1}{3} \sin(3x) + C}

Differentiating the result using the chain rule yields the original integrand cos(3x)\cos(3x), confirming the answer is correct.

Problem: Evaluate the indefinite integral cos(3x)dx\int \cos(3x) \, dx.

Steps

  1. Apply uu-substitution
    Let u=3xu = 3x, which means du=3dxdu = 3 \, dx or dx=13dudx = \frac{1}{3} \, du.
    cos(u)13du\int \cos(u) \cdot \frac{1}{3} \, du
  2. Factor out the constant
    13cos(u)du\frac{1}{3} \int \cos(u) \, du
  3. Integrate with respect to uu
    13(sin(u))+C\frac{1}{3} (\sin(u)) + C
  4. Substitute back u=3xu = 3x
    13sin(3x)+C\frac{1}{3} \sin(3x) + C
