ECAT Mathematics QUESTION #769
Question 1
\(\int x\cos x\, dx = ?\)
  • \(x\sin x - \cos x + c\)
  • \(x\sin x - \cos x - c\)✔️
  • \(x\cos x - \sin x + c\)
  • None
Correct Answer Explanation
Using integration by parts: \(\int x\cos x\, dx = x\sin x - \int \sin x\, dx = x\sin x + \cos x + c\). Note: The paper marks option B (\(x\sin x - \cos x - c\)) but the standard result is \(x\sin x + \cos x + c\).
