Evaluate the Integral integral of cos(3x) with respect to x
cos(3x)dx
Step 1
Let u=3x. Then du=3dx, so 13du=dx. Rewrite using u and du.

Step 1.1
Let u=3x. Find dudx.
Tap for more steps...
Step 1.1.1
Differentiate 3x.
ddx[3x]
Step 1.1.2
Since 3 is constant with respect to x, the derivative of 3x with respect to x is 3ddx[x].
3ddx[x]
Step 1.1.3
Differentiate using the Power Rule which states that ddx[xn] is nxn-1 where n=1.
31
Step 1.1.4
Multiply 3 by 1.

Step 1.2
Rewrite the problem using u and du.
cos(u)13du
cos(u)13du
Step 2
Combine cos(u) and 13.
cos(u)3du
Step 3
Since 13 is constant with respect to u, move 13 out of the integral.
13cos(u)du
Step 4
The integral of cos(u) with respect to u is sin(u).
13(sin(u)+C)
Step 5
Simplify.
13sin(u)+C
Step 6
Replace all occurrences of u with 3x.
13sin(3x)+C
cos3x
