Find ∫cos⁡4x dx\displaystyle\int \cos 4x\,dx.

Worked solution (try it first)
  1. cos⁡\cos integrates to sin⁡\sin.
  2. For cos⁡4x\cos4x, also divide by 4, the coefficient of xx.
  3. So ∫cos⁡4x dx=14sin⁡4x+k\int\cos4x\,dx = \frac14\sin4x + k, option D.
  4. Check: ddx(14sin⁡4x)=cos⁡4x\frac{d}{dx}\left(\frac14\sin4x\right) = \cos4x.
