Use Integration by Substitution.
Let u = 2 x , d u = 2 d x,then d x = 1 2 d u
Using u and du above, rewrite cos 2 ( 2 x ) d x
cos 2 u 2 d u
Use Constant Factor Rule: c f ( x ) d x = c f ( x ) d x ..
1 2 cos 2 u d u
Use Pythagorean Identities: cos 2 x = 1 2 + cos 2 x 2
1 2 1 2 + cos 2 u 2 d u
Use Sum Rule: f ( x ) + g ( x ) d x = f ( x ) d x + g ( x ) d x .
1 2 ( 1 2 d u + cos 2 u 2 d u )
Use this rule: a d x = a x + C
1 2 ( u 2 + cos 2 u 2 d u )
Use Constant Factor Rule: c f ( x ) d x = c f ( x ) d x
1 2 ( u 2 + 1 2 cos 2 u d u
Use Integration by Substitution on c o s 2 u d u.
Let w = 2 u , d w = 2 d u, then d u = 1 2 d w
Using w and dw above, rewrite cos 2 u d u
cos w 2 d w
Use Constant Factor Rule: c f ( x ) d x = c f ( x ) d x ..
1 2 cos w d w
Use Trigonometric Integration: the integral of cos w is sin w
sin w 2
Substitute w = 2 u back into the original integral.
sin 2 u 2
Rewrite the integral with the completed substitution.
u 4 + sin 2 u 8
Substitute u = 2 x back into the original integral.
2 x 4 + sin ( 2 × 2 x ) 8
Add constant.
x 2 + sin 4 x 8 + C
