$\frac{1}{2}\sin\left(2x\right)+C_0$

## Step by step solution

Problem

$\int\cos\left(2x\right)dx$
1

Solve the integral $\int\cos\left(2x\right)dx$ applying u-substitution. Let $u$ and $du$ be

$\begin{matrix}u=2x \\ du=2dx\end{matrix}$
2

Isolate $dx$ in the previous equation

$\frac{du}{2}=dx$
3

Substituting $u$ and $dx$ in the integral

$\int\frac{\cos\left(u\right)}{2}du$
4

Taking the constant out of the integral

$\frac{1}{2}\int\cos\left(u\right)du$
5

Apply the integral of the cosine function

$\frac{1}{2}\sin\left(u\right)$
6

Substitute $u$ back for it's value, $2x$

$\frac{1}{2}\sin\left(2x\right)$
7

$\frac{1}{2}\sin\left(2x\right)+C_0$

$\frac{1}{2}\sin\left(2x\right)+C_0$
