how would i integrate int [ (2/3) cos(Sqrt[x]) ] dx using the antiderivative chart? i tried using formula #47 but the du has

\(\displaystyle \frac{1}{2\sqrt{x}}\)

and i cant figure this out.

The entire problem is \(\displaystyle \int\frac{cos^{3}(\sqrt{x})}{\sqrt{x}}dx\).
 
Re: intergrating (2/3)cos[Sqrt[x]]

Is this it, including the 2/3?.

\(\displaystyle \frac{2}{3}\int\frac{cos^{3}(\sqrt{x})}{\sqrt{x}}dx\)

If so, let \(\displaystyle u=\sqrt{x}, \;\ du=\frac{1}{2\sqrt{x}}dx, \;\ 2du=\frac{1}{\sqrt{x}}dx\)

Make the subs:

\(\displaystyle \frac{4}{3}\int{cos^{3}(u)}du\)

You had the correct substitution, you just needed to multiply by 2 to get 2du

Kindly keep in mind that we aren't in your classroom and don't have your textbook; you'll need to provide whatever formulae, variables, or algorithms you're using. :oops:

Thank you! :D
