integral of xcos(4pi)x^2
⚠ xcos(4pi)x^2 is read as x*cos(4pi)*x^2: use * for multiplication, use ^ for a power
Before integrating, let's calculate:
ⓘ cos and sin are periodic with period 2π: = ■Multiplying powers with the same base adds the exponents: =
ⓘ The cosine is the x-coordinate (horizontal axis) of the point reached on the unit circle after a rotation of radians from the horizontal axis pointing to the right, this is a remarkable value: = ■Multiplying by 1 changes nothing: =
Let's integrate:
ⓘ An antiderivative of x^n is x^(n+1)/(n+1), for n ≠ -1: =
▶Indefinite integrals are defined up to an additive constant C , so this yields:
