If \(u=x\) and \(dv=\cos x\,dx\), what are \(du\) and \(v\)?

Choose one option.

Show answer
  • B. \(du=dx,\ v=\sin x\)

Explanation

Differentiating \(u=x\) gives \(du=dx\), and integrating \(\cos x\) gives \(v=\sin x\), since \(\int\cos x\,dx=\sin x\).

Review the concept: Integration by parts

Integration by parts is a technique for integrating products of functions, derived from the product rule. It transforms \(\int u\,dv\) into \(uv-\int v\,du\).

\[\int u\,dv=uv-\int v\,du\]
