Problem 4.278 · medium

Find \( \displaystyle \int \left(2 x + 1\right) \cos{\left(4 x + 2 \right)} \, dx \). (Omit the constant of integration.)
  1. \[ \int \left(2 x + 1\right) \cos{\left(4 x + 2 \right)}\, dx \]
    integralStart with the integral of the given function.✓ Proved
  2. \[ = \int \left(2 x \cos{\left(4 x + 2 \right)} + \cos{\left(4 x + 2 \right)}\right)\, dx \]
    linearityDistribute the cosine term.✓ Proved
  3. \[ = 2 \int x \cos{\left(4 x + 2 \right)}\, dx + \int \cos{\left(4 x + 2 \right)}\, dx \]
    linearitySplit the integral into two parts.✓ Proved
  4. \[ = \frac{x \sin{\left(4 x + 2 \right)}}{2} - 2 \int \frac{\sin{\left(4 x + 2 \right)}}{4}\, dx + \int \cos{\left(4 x + 2 \right)}\, dx \]
    parts algebraApply integration by parts to the first integral with u = x and dv = cos(4*x + 2)dx. Simplify the expression inside the parentheses.✓ Proved
  5. \[ = \frac{x \sin{\left(4 x + 2 \right)}}{2} + \frac{\cos{\left(4 x + 2 \right)}}{8} + \int \cos{\left(4 x + 2 \right)}\, dx \]
    antiderivative algebraIntegrate the sine term. Simplify the signs and fractions.✓ Proved
  6. \[ = \frac{x \sin{\left(4 x + 2 \right)}}{2} + \frac{\sin{\left(4 x + 2 \right)}}{4} + \frac{\cos{\left(4 x + 2 \right)}}{8} \]
    antiderivative simplifyIntegrate the remaining cosine term. Distribute the 2 and combine terms.✓ Proved
Answer \( \frac{x \sin{\left(4 x + 2 \right)}}{2} + \frac{\sin{\left(4 x + 2 \right)}}{4} + \frac{\cos{\left(4 x + 2 \right)}}{8} + C \)

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.
