Indefinite Integrals
Easymathematics
The integral ∫sin(x) dx equals
Select the correct option:
Solution
Incorrect! Answer:
-cos(x) + C
- Standard Integral: The integral of a trigonometric function is the reverse process of differentiation.
- Reasoning: Since dxd(cosx)=−sinx, it follows that dxd(−cosx)=sinx.
- Result: Therefore, ∫sinxdx=−cosx+C.
- Caution: Students often confuse this with the derivative of sinx (which is +cosx). Reminder: Integration of sin is negative cos.
