Solution and Explanation

The correct answer is: \(= \frac{-cos7x}{14}+\frac{cosx}{2}+C\)
It is known that, \(sin A\, cos B = \frac{1}{2}[sin(A+B) + sin(A-B)]\)
\(∴ ∫sin\,3x\,cos\,4x\, dx = \frac{1}{2} ∫{sin(3x+4x)+sin(3x-4x)} dx\)
\(=\frac{1}{2} ∫{sin7x+sin(-x)} dx\)
\(=\frac{1}{2} ∫sin7x dx-\frac{1}{2} ∫sinx dx\)
\(=\frac{1}{2}(\frac{-cos7x}{7})-\frac{1}{2}(-cosx)+C\)
\(= \frac{-cos7x}{14}+\frac{cosx}{2}+C\)

Methods of Integration

Given below is the list of the different methods of integration that are useful in simplifying integration problems:

Integration by Parts:

 If f(x) and g(x) are two functions and their product is to be integrated, then the formula to integrate f(x).g(x) using by parts method is:

∫f(x).g(x) dx = f(x) ∫g(x) dx − ∫(f′(x) [ ∫g(x) dx)]dx + C

Here f(x) is the first function and g(x) is the second function.

Method of Integration Using Partial Fractions:

The formula to integrate rational functions of the form f(x)/g(x) is:

∫[f(x)/g(x)]dx = ∫[p(x)/q(x)]dx + ∫[r(x)/s(x)]dx

where

f(x)/g(x) = p(x)/q(x) + r(x)/s(x) and

g(x) = q(x).s(x)

Integration by Substitution Method

Hence the formula for integration using the substitution method becomes:

∫g(f(x)) dx = ∫g(u)/h(u) du

Integration by Decomposition

Reverse Chain Rule

This method of integration is used when the integration is of the form ∫g'(f(x)) f'(x) dx. In this case, the integral is given by,

∫g'(f(x)) f'(x) dx = g(f(x)) + C
