Integral of x*cos*x/2 dx

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

   $$\int \frac{x \cos{\left(x \right)}}{2}\, dx = \frac{\int x \cos{\left(x \right)}\, dx}{2}$$

   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 $\operatorname{dv}{\left(x \right)} = \cos{\left(x \right)}$.

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

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

      1. The integral of cosine is sine:

         $$\int \cos{\left(x \right)}\, dx = \sin{\left(x \right)}$$

      Now evaluate the sub-integral.

   2. The integral of sine is negative cosine:

      $$\int \sin{\left(x \right)}\, dx = - \cos{\left(x \right)}$$

   So, the result is: $\frac{x \sin{\left(x \right)}}{2} + \frac{\cos{\left(x \right)}}{2}$

2. Add the constant of integration:

   $$\frac{x \sin{\left(x \right)}}{2} + \frac{\cos{\left(x \right)}}{2}+ \mathrm{constant}$$

The answer is:

$$\frac{x \sin{\left(x \right)}}{2} + \frac{\cos{\left(x \right)}}{2}+ \mathrm{constant}$$
