TopicIntegration by Parts
TypeSequential multi-part (building on previous)
DifficultyStandard +0.3 Part (a) is a standard integration by parts application with a straightforward choice of u and dv. Part (b) requires using the given identity to relate the two integrals, involving algebraic manipulation but following a clear 'hence' pathway. This is slightly above average difficulty due to the two-step process and the need to manipulate the trigonometric identity, but remains a fairly routine C4 question with clear signposting.
Spec1.08i Integration by parts

3. (a) Find \(\int x \cos 2 x d x\).
(b) Hence, using the identity \(\cos 2 x = 2 \cos ^ { 2 } x - 1\), deduce \(\int x \cos ^ { 2 } x \mathrm {~d} x\).

Answer/WorkingMarks Guidance
\(u=x \Rightarrow \frac{du}{dx}=1\); \(\frac{dv}{dx}=\cos 2x \Rightarrow v=\frac{1}{2}\sin 2x\) See note below
\(\int x\cos 2x\,dx = \frac{1}{2}x\sin 2x - \int \frac{1}{2}\sin 2x \cdot 1\,dx\)M1 Use of integration by parts formula in the correct direction. Correct expression.

Answer/WorkingMarks Guidance
\(\int x\cos^2 x\,dx = \int x\left(\frac{\cos 2x+1}{2}\right)dx\)M1 Substitutes correctly for \(\cos^2 x\) in the given integral
