Theorem
- $\ds \int x^m \sin a x \rd x = \frac {- x^m \cos a x} a + \frac m a \int x^{m - 1} \cos a x \rd x$
Proof
With a view to expressing the primitive in the form:
- $\ds \int u \frac {\d v} {\d x} \rd x = u v - \int v \frac {\d u} {\d x} \rd x$
let:
\(\ds u\) | \(=\) | \(\ds x^m\) | ||||||||||||
\(\ds \leadsto \ \ \) | \(\ds \frac {\d u} {\d x}\) | \(=\) | \(\ds m x^{m - 1}\) | Power Rule for Derivatives |
and let:
\(\ds \frac {\d v} {\d x}\) | \(=\) | \(\ds \sin a x\) | ||||||||||||
\(\ds \leadsto \ \ \) | \(\ds v\) | \(=\) | \(\ds \frac {-\cos a x} a\) | Primitive of $\sin a x$ |
Then:
\(\ds \int x^m \sin a x \rd x\) | \(=\) | \(\ds \paren {x^m} \paren {\frac {-\cos a x} a} - \int \paren {\frac {-\cos a x} a} \paren {m x^{m - 1} } \rd x\) | Integration by Parts | |||||||||||
\(\ds \) | \(=\) | \(\ds \frac {- x^m \cos a x} a + \frac m a \int x^{m - 1} \cos a x \rd x\) | Primitive of Constant Multiple of Function |
