$\int 5 x \cos (4 x) d x$

Step 1

Since $5$ is constant with respect to $x$ , move $5$ out of the integral.

$5 \int x \cos (4 x) d x$

Step 2

Integrate by parts using the formula $\int u d v = u v - \int v d u$ , where $u = x$ and $d v = \cos (4 x)$ .

$5 (x (\frac{1}{4} \sin (4 x)) - \int \frac{1}{4} \sin (4 x) d x)$

Step 5.1.1

Differentiate $4 x$ .

$\frac{d}{d x} [4 x]$

Step 5.1.2

Since $4$ is constant with respect to $x$ , the derivative of $4 x$ with respect to $x$ is $4 \frac{d}{d x} [x]$ .

$4 \frac{d}{d x} [x]$

Step 5.1.3

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

$4 \cdot 1$

Step 5.1.4

Multiply $4$ by $1$ .

$4$

Step 5.2

Rewrite the problem using $u$ and $d u$ .

$5 (\frac{x \sin (4 x)}{4} - \frac{1}{4} \int \sin (u) \frac{1}{4} d u)$

Step 6

Combine $\sin (u)$ and $\frac{1}{4}$ .

$5 (\frac{x \sin (4 x)}{4} - \frac{1}{4} \int \frac{\sin (u)}{4} d u)$

Step 7

Since $\frac{1}{4}$ is constant with respect to $u$ , move $\frac{1}{4}$ out of the integral.

Step 8.1

Multiply $\frac{1}{4}$ by $\frac{1}{4}$ .

$5 (\frac{x \sin (4 x)}{4} - \frac{1}{4 \cdot 4} \int \sin (u) d u)$

Step 8.2

Multiply $4$ by $4$ .

$5 (\frac{x \sin (4 x)}{4} - \frac{1}{16} \int \sin (u) d u)$

Step 9

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

$5 (\frac{x \sin (4 x)}{4} - \frac{1}{16} (- \cos (u) + C))$

Step 10

Rewrite $5 (\frac{x \sin (4 x)}{4} - \frac{1}{16} (- \cos (u) + C))$ as $5 (\frac{x \sin (4 x)}{4} + \frac{\cos (u)}{16}) + C$ .

$5 (\frac{x \sin (4 x)}{4} + \frac{\cos (u)}{16}) + C$

Step 11

Replace all occurrences of $u$ with $4 x$ .

$5 (\frac{x \sin (4 x)}{4} + \frac{\cos (4 x)}{16}) + C$

Step 12

Reorder terms.
