$\frac{d y}{d x} = - \cos (x)$

Step 1

Rewrite the equation.

$d y = - \cos (x) d x$

Step 2

Integrate both sides.

Step 2.1

Set up an integral on each side.

$\int d y = \int - \cos (x) d x$

Step 2.2

Apply the constant rule.

$y + C_{1} = \int - \cos (x) d x$

Step 2.3

Integrate the right side.

Step 2.3.1

Since $- 1$ is constant with respect to $x$ , move $- 1$ out of the integral.

$y + C_{1} = - \int \cos (x) d x$

Step 2.3.2

The integral of $\cos (x)$ with respect to $x$ is $\sin (x)$ .

$y + C_{1} = - (\sin (x) + C_{2})$

Step 2.3.3

Simplify.

$y + C_{1} = - \sin (x) + C_{2}$

Step 2.4

Group the constant of integration on the right side as $K$ .

$y = - \sin (x) + K$
