Evaluate the integrals in Exercises 37–46.


∫(2θ + 1 + 2 cos (2θ + 1))dθ

Verified step by step guidance
1
Identify the integral to be evaluated: \(\int (2\theta + 1 + 2 \cos(2\theta + 1)) \, d\theta\).
Split the integral into separate integrals for easier handling: \(\int (2\theta + 1) \, d\theta + \int 2 \cos(2\theta + 1) \, d\theta\).
Integrate the polynomial part \(\int (2\theta + 1) \, d\theta\) by applying the power rule: \(\int 2\theta \, d\theta\) and \(\int 1 \, d\theta\) separately.
For the trigonometric part \(\int 2 \cos(2\theta + 1) \, d\theta\), use substitution: let \(u = 2\theta + 1\), then find \(du\) and rewrite the integral in terms of \(u\).
Integrate \(\int 2 \cos(u) \cdot \frac{du}{2} = \int \cos(u) \, du\), then substitute back \(u = 2\theta + 1\) to express the result in terms of \(\theta\).

Key Concepts

Here are the essential concepts you must grasp in order to answer the question correctly.

Integration of Basic Functions

Integration involves finding the antiderivative of a function. For polynomials like 2θ + 1, integrate each term separately by increasing the power by one and dividing by the new exponent. Constants integrate to the constant times the variable.

Integration of Trigonometric Functions

To integrate trigonometric functions like cos(kθ + c), use substitution if necessary. The integral of cos(u) with respect to u is sin(u), so adjust for the inner function's derivative when integrating.

Use of Substitution Method

Substitution simplifies integration when the integrand contains a composite function. By setting u equal to the inner function (e.g., u = 2θ + 1), you rewrite the integral in terms of u, making it easier to integrate.
