\displaystyle \int {\cos \left( 2,x-7 \right)} , \textrm{d}{x} =

Solution

To solve the integral cos(2x7)dx\int \cos(2x - 7) \, \mathrm{d}x, we can use the following steps:

  1. Substitution: Let u=2x7u = 2x - 7. Then, differentiate uu with respect to xx: dudx=2    du=2dx\frac{du}{dx} = 2 \implies du = 2 \, dx This implies that dx=du2dx = \frac{du}{2}.

  2. Substitute: Replace 2x72x - 7 with uu and dxdx with du2\frac{du}{2}: cos(2x7)dx=cos(u)du2=12cos(u)du\int \cos(2x - 7) \, \mathrm{d}x = \int \cos(u) \cdot \frac{du}{2} = \frac{1}{2} \int \cos(u) \, du

  3. Integrate: The integral of cos(u)\cos(u) with respect to uu is sin(u)\sin(u): 12cos(u)du=12sin(u)+C\frac{1}{2} \int \cos(u) \, du = \frac{1}{2} \sin(u) + C where CC is the constant of integration.

  4. Back-substitute: Replace uu with 2x72x - 7 to get the final answer: 12sin(2x7)+C\frac{1}{2} \sin(2x - 7) + C

So the final result is: cos(2x7)dx=12sin(2x7)+C\int \cos(2x - 7) \, \mathrm{d}x = \frac{1}{2} \sin(2x - 7) + C
