Formula

The general formula for integrating trigonometric functions is:

∫ sin(ax + b) dx = (-1/a)cos(ax + b) + C ∫ cos(ax + b) dx = (1/a)sin(ax + b) + C ∫ tan(ax + b) dx = (-1/a)ln|cos(ax + b)| + C ∫ cot(ax + b) dx = (1/a)ln|sin(ax + b)| + C ∫ sec(ax + b) dx = (1/a)ln|sec(ax + b) + tan(ax + b)| + C ∫ csc(ax + b) dx = (-1/a)ln|csc(ax + b) + cot(ax + b)| + C

Where:

  • a and b are constants
  • C is the constant of integration

Examples

Here are some examples of trigonometric integrals and their solutions:

Example 1: ∫ sin(2x) dx

Solution: Using the formula, ∫ sin(ax) dx = (-1/a)cos(ax) + C

∫ sin(2x) dx = (-1/2)cos(2x) + C

Example 2: ∫ cos(3x + π/4) dx

Solution: Using the formula, ∫ cos(ax + b) dx = (1/a)sin(ax + b) + C

∫ cos(3x + π/4) dx = (1/3)sin(3x + π/4) + C
