Step 3.1.1

Differentiate $2 x$ .

$\frac{d}{d x} [2 x]$

Step 3.1.2

Since $2$ is constant with respect to $x$ , the derivative of $2 x$ with respect to $x$ is $2 \frac{d}{d x} [x]$ .

$2 \frac{d}{d x} [x]$

Step 3.1.3

Differentiate using the Power Rule which states that $\frac{d}{d x} [x^{n}]$ is $n x^{n - 1}$ where $n = 1$ .

$2 \cdot 1$

Step 3.1.4

Step 3.2

Rewrite the problem using $u_{1}$ and $d u_{1}$ .

$\int \sin (u_{1}) \frac{1}{2} d u_{1} + \int \cos (2 x) d x$

Step 4

Combine $\sin (u_{1})$ and $\frac{1}{2}$ .

$\int \frac{\sin (u_{1})}{2} d u_{1} + \int \cos (2 x) d x$

Step 5

Since $\frac{1}{2}$ is constant with respect to $u_{1}$ , move $\frac{1}{2}$ out of the integral.
