Question

Integrate ∫ ecos x sin x dx.
Options
A e<sup>sin x</sup>
B -e<sup>cos x</sup>
Correct Answer
C e<sup>cos x</sup>
D sin x
Correct Answer

Option B is the correct answer.

Detailed Explanation

We can solve this integral using u-substitution.Let u = cos x.Then, differentiate u with respect to x: du/dx = -sin x.This means du = -sin x dx, or sin x dx = -du.Substitute u and -du into the integral:∫ eu (-du) = -∫ eu duThe integral of eu with respect to u is eu.So, we have -eu + C.Substitute back u = cos x:-ecos x + C.

Hint

Consider 'cos x' as the substitution variable.
