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: x·cos(4π)·x2
ⓘ cos and sin are periodic with period 2π: cos(4π) = cos(0)■Multiplying powers with the same base adds the exponents: xx2 = x3
x3·cos(0)
ⓘ The cosine is the x-coordinate (horizontal axis) of the point reached on the unit circle after a rotation of 0 radians from the horizontal axis pointing to the right, this is a remarkable value: cos(0) = 1■Multiplying by 1 changes nothing: x3·1 = x3
x3
Let's integrate: ∫x3dx
ⓘ An antiderivative of x^n is x^(n+1)/(n+1), for n ≠ -1: ∫x3dx = x44
x44
▶Indefinite integrals are defined up to an additive constant C, so this yields: x44 + C
