Detail solution
  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:

    The result is:

  3. Add the constant of integration:


The answer is:
