Solve the following.
If ∫ x⁵ cos(x⁶) dx = k sin(x⁶) + C, find the value of ‘k’. (Evaluate)
If $\int x^5 \cos(x^6)\,dx = k \sin(x^6) + C$, find the value of ‘$k$’. (Evaluate)
Answer
Answer
Official answer keyLet $x^6 = t$, so $6x^5\,dx = dt$. Then $\int x^5\cos(x^6)\,dx = \frac{1}{6}\int \cos t\,dt = \frac{1}{6}\sin t + C = \frac{1}{6}\sin(x^6) + C$. Comparing, $k = \frac{1}{6}$.
Final answer: 1/6
