Detail solution
  1. Integrate term-by-term:

    1. The integral of a constant times a function is the constant times the integral of the function:

      1. Rewrite the integrand:

      2. Integrate term-by-term:

        1. The integral of a constant times a function is the constant times the integral of the function:

          1. Let .

            Then let and substitute :

            1. The integral of a constant times a function is the constant times the integral of the function:

              1. The integral of cosine is sine:

              So, the result is:

            Now substitute back in:

          So, the result is:

        1. The integral of a constant is the constant times the variable of integration:
