Integral of xcos(x-y) dx

1. Use integration by parts:

   $$\int \operatorname{u} \operatorname{dv} = \operatorname{u}\operatorname{v} - \int \operatorname{v} \operatorname{du}$$

   Let $u{\left(x \right)} = x$ and let $\operatorname{dv}{\left(x \right)} = \cos{\left(x - y \right)}$.

   Then $\operatorname{du}{\left(x \right)} = 1$.

   To find $v{\left(x \right)}$:

   1. Let $u = x - y$.

      Then let $du = dx$ and substitute $du$:

      $$\int \cos{\left(u \right)}\, du$$

      1. The integral of cosine is sine:

         $$\int \cos{\left(u \right)}\, du = \sin{\left(u \right)}$$

      Now substitute $u$ back in:

      $$\sin{\left(x - y \right)}$$

   Now evaluate the sub-integral.

2. Let $u = x - y$.

   Then let $du = dx$ and substitute $du$:

   $$\int \sin{\left(u \right)}\, du$$

   1. The integral of sine is negative cosine:

      $$\int \sin{\left(u \right)}\, du = - \cos{\left(u \right)}$$

   Now substitute $u$ back in:

   $$- \cos{\left(x - y \right)}$$

3. Add the constant of integration:

   $$x \sin{\left(x - y \right)} + \cos{\left(x - y \right)}+ \mathrm{constant}$$

The answer is:
