1/2e^(sin2x)+C12esin2x+C

Explanation:

This is the same as asking:

int(cos2x)e^(sin2x)dx(cos2x)esin2xdx

Let u=sin2xu=sin2x. Differentiating this (and remembering the chain rule) gives us du=2cos2xcolor(white).dxdu=2cos2x.dx.

We have a factor of 2cos2x2cos2x, so modify the integral to make 2cos2x2cos2x present:

=1/2int(2cos2x)e^(sin2x)dx=12(2cos2x)esin2xdx

We now have our uu and dudu terms primed and ready for substitution:

=1/2inte^udu=12eudu

The integral of e^ueu is itself, since its derivative is itself:

=1/2e^u+C=12eu+C

=1/2e^(sin2x)+C=12esin2x+C

We can check this by taking the derivative.
