\(u=x \Rightarrow \frac{du}{dx}=1\); \(\frac{dv}{dx}=\cos 2x \Rightarrow v=\frac{1}{2}\sin 2x\)
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.
A1
\(= \frac{1}{2}x\sin 2x - \frac{1}{2}\left(-\frac{1}{2}\cos 2x\right)+c\) dM1
\(\sin 2x \to -\frac{1}{2}\cos 2x\) or \(\sin kx \to -\frac{1}{k}\cos kx\) with \(k\neq 1\), \(k>0\)
\(= \frac{1}{2}x\sin 2x + \frac{1}{4}\cos 2x + c\) A1
Correct expression with \(+c\)
