TopicIntegration by Parts
TypeBasic integration by parts
DifficultyModerate -0.3 This is a straightforward application of integration by parts with standard functions (polynomial times trigonometric). It requires only one application of the formula with u=x and dv=cos(2x)dx, making it slightly easier than average but still requiring proper technique and care with the chain rule when integrating cos(2x).

7 Determine \(\int x \cos 2 x \mathrm {~d} x\).

Question 7:
AnswerMarks Guidance
Let \(u = x\), \(\frac{dv}{dx} = \cos 2x\)M1 (3.1a) Parts with \(u = x\), \(\frac{dv}{dx} = \cos 2x\)
\(v = \frac{1}{2}\sin 2x\); \(\int x\cos 2x\, dx = \frac{1}{2}x\sin 2x - \int \frac{1}{2}\sin 2x\, dx\)M1 (1.1) Allow if \(-\left[\frac{1}{2}x\sin 2x - \int\frac{1}{2}\sin 2x\, dx\right]\) or if 1 error
\(\frac{1}{2}x\sin 2x + \frac{1}{4}\cos 2x + c\)A1 (2.5) \(+c\) needed for A1

## Question 7:

Let $u = x$, $\frac{dv}{dx} = \cos 2x$ | M1 (3.1a) | Parts with $u = x$, $\frac{dv}{dx} = \cos 2x$
$v = \frac{1}{2}\sin 2x$; $\int x\cos 2x\, dx = \frac{1}{2}x\sin 2x - \int \frac{1}{2}\sin 2x\, dx$ | M1 (1.1) | Allow if $-\left[\frac{1}{2}x\sin 2x - \int\frac{1}{2}\sin 2x\, dx\right]$ or if 1 error
$\frac{1}{2}x\sin 2x + \frac{1}{4}\cos 2x + c$ | A1 (2.5) | $+c$ needed for A1
