Using integration by substitution together with the known integral
sin(x)dx=12sin(2x)2dx
=12sin(u)du
=12(cos(u))+C
=12cos(2x)+C

So, now we have to integrate sin 2x
sin2x=122×sin(2x)dx (1)
Let us assume u=2x. Then du=2dx
We know that sinx=cosx+C
Hence on substituting, equation (1) becomes
sin2xdx=12sin(u)du
sin2xdx=12(cosudu)+C
sin2xdx=12cos(2x)+C

Since d is constant with respect to x, move d out of the integral.
dsin(2x)xdx
Integrate by parts using the formula udv=uvvdu, where u=x and dv=sin(2x)
d(x(12cos(2x))12cos(2x)dx)
Simplify,
d(xcos(2x)2cos(2x)2dx)
Since -1 is constant with respect to x, move -1 out of the integral.
d(xcos(2x)2cos(2x)2dx)
Simplify,
d(xcos(2x)2+cos(2x)2dx)
Since 12 is constant with respect to x, move 12 out of the integral.
d(xcos(2x)2+12cos(u)12du)
Let u=2x. Then du=2dx, so 12du=dx. Rewrite using u and du.
d(xcos(2x)2+12cos(u)12du)
Combine cos(u) and 12.
d(xcos(2x)2+12cos(u)2du)
Since 12 is constant with respect to u, move 12 out of the integral.
d(xcos(2x)2+12(12cos(u)du))
Simplify,
d(xcos(2x)2+14cos(u)du)
The integral of cos(u) with respect to u is sin(u)
d(xcos(2x)2+14(sin(u)+C))
