Integral of \( \displaystyle 3 x \cos{\left(6 x \right)} \)

Problem 4.150 · medium

Find \( \displaystyle \int 3 x \cos{\left(6 x \right)} \, dx \). (Omit the constant of integration.)
  1. \[ \int 3 x \cos{\left(6 x \right)}\, dx \]
    integralStart with the integral of the given function.✓ Proved
  2. \[ = 3 \int x \cos{\left(6 x \right)}\, dx \]
    linearityFactor out the constant 3.✓ Proved
  3. \[ = \frac{x \sin{\left(6 x \right)}}{2} - 3 \int \frac{\sin{\left(6 x \right)}}{6}\, dx \]
    parts algebraApply integration by parts with u = x and dv = cos(6*x)dx. Distribute the 3 into the parentheses.✓ Proved
  4. \[ = \frac{x \sin{\left(6 x \right)}}{2} + \frac{\cos{\left(6 x \right)}}{12} \]
    antiderivative algebra simplifyEvaluate the integral of sin(6*x)/6. Simplify the signs and fractions. Distribute the 3 and simplify the final expression.✓ Proved
Answer \( \frac{x \sin{\left(6 x \right)}}{2} + \frac{\cos{\left(6 x \right)}}{12} + C \)

  • gpt-oss:20b: pass
  • qwen3.6:27b-mlx: pass — The solution correctly applies integration by parts and algebraic simplification. Each step changes only one aspect of the expression and uses valid labels from the fixed vocabulary.

  • qwen3.6:27b-mlx: fail (style) 2026-09-29 — Step 4 is labeled 'algebra' but performs no algebraic operation; it merely removes redundant parentheses. Step 7 is labeled 'simplify' but performs distribution, which is an algebraic operation.

Proved: SymPy reduced the difference between the two sides to zero. Checked independently: a separate method, named above, confirmed it. Checked numerically: the two sides agree at every sampled point, which is evidence, not proof. Reviewed: a model or a person read it; that is all a sentence can have. Solution by gemma4:26b, checked 2026-09-29 with SymPy 1.14.0.
