Integrating sin and cos

Integration of Sin(x) and Cos(x)

• The integral of sin(x) is -cos(x) + C.
• The integral of cos(x) is sin(x) + C.

Process of Integrating Sin(x) and Cos(x)

• Write down the function to integrate, e.g., ∫sin(x) dx.
• The integral of sin(x) is -cos(x) + C, where C is the constant of integration.
• For ∫cos(x) dx, the integral of cos(x) is sin(x) + C.

Integrating Sin(x) and Cos(x) with Coefficients

• If you’re integrating a sine or cosine function with a coefficient (like 2sin(x) or 3cos(x)), you integrate as normal and then divide by the coefficient.

Integrating Products of Sin(x) and Cos(x)

• If you’re integrating a product of sine and cosine, you will need to use an identity to simplify the function before integrating.
• For instance, the integral of sin(x)cos(x) can be simplified to the integral of 1/2*sin(2x) before integrating.

Applications of Integrating Sin(x) and Cos(x)

• The integral of sin(x) and cos(x) is used in physics, engineering, and other scientific disciplines to solve problems involving waveforms, oscillations, and circular motion.
• Within mathematics, integrals of these functions are critical in understanding Fourier series, solving differential equations, and studying periodic phenomena.

Review of Formulas

• Integral of Sin(x): ∫sin(x) dx = -cos(x) + C.
• Integral of Cos(x): ∫cos(x) dx = sin(x) + C.
• Adding the integration constant: Always remember to include ‘C’, the constant of integration, when performing an indefinite integral.
