Solve the following.
Evaluate: ∫ [sin(log x) + cos(log x)] dx
Evaluate: $\int [\sin(\log x) + \cos(\log x)] \, dx$
Answer
Answer
Put $\log x = t$, so $x = e^t$ and $dx = e^t dt$.
$I = \int e^t(\sin t + \cos t)\, dt$
Using $\int e^t[f(t) + f'(t)]\, dt = e^t f(t)$ with $f(t) = \sin t$:
$I = e^t \sin t + C$
Hence $\int [\sin(\log x) + \cos(\log x)]\, dx = x\sin(\log x) + C$.
Final answer: $x\sin(\log x) + C$
