Math Problem Statement

integrate sinx e^cosx

Solution

To integrate sin(x)ecos(x)\sin(x) e^{\cos(x)}, we can use the method of substitution. Here's the step-by-step process:

Step 1: Substitution

Let: u=cos(x)u = \cos(x) Then, the derivative of uu with respect to xx is: dudx=sin(x)\frac{du}{dx} = -\sin(x) This gives us: du=sin(x)dxdu = -\sin(x) \, dx or: sin(x)dx=du-\sin(x) \, dx = du

Step 2: Rewrite the integral

Using this substitution, we rewrite the integral sin(x)ecos(x)dx\int \sin(x) e^{\cos(x)} \, dx as: eu(du)\int e^{u} (-du) This simplifies to: eudu-\int e^{u} \, du

Step 3: Integrate

The integral of eue^u with respect to uu is simply eue^u. Therefore: eudu=eu+C-\int e^u \, du = -e^u + C where CC is the constant of integration.

Step 4: Substitute back

Now, substitute u=cos(x)u = \cos(x) back into the result: ecos(x)+C-e^{\cos(x)} + C

Final Answer:

sin(x)ecos(x)dx=ecos(x)+C\int \sin(x) e^{\cos(x)} \, dx = -e^{\cos(x)} + C
