- Topic: Integration of $1 + \sin x \cos x$ (Wait, let me re-read carefully: "integration of 1 1 sinx cosx". This is likely a typo for $\int (1 + \sin x \cos x) dx$ or $\int 1 \cdot \sin x \cos x , dx$ or $\int (1 + \sin x) \cos x , dx$. Let's look at standard calculus problems. "integration of 1 1 sinx cosx" probably means $\int (1 + \sin x \cos x) dx$ or maybe $\int \sin x \cos x , dx$? Actually, "1 1 sinx cosx" might mean $\int (1 + \sin x \cos x) dx$. Let's assume it means $\int (1 + \sin x \cos x) dx$ because it makes a good, comprehensive topic. Another possibility: $\int 1 \cdot \sin x \cos x , dx$. Let's write the article for $\int (1 + \sin x \cos x) dx$ as it covers more ground and fits the "1 1" typo well (maybe they meant $1 + \sin x \cos x$). Wait, what if it's $\int 1 \cdot \sin x \cos x , dx$? No, "1 1" usually implies a typo for "1 +". Let's explicitly state the integral we are solving: $\int (1 + \sin x \cos x) , dx$. I will also briefly mention the alternative if needed, but focusing on $\int (1 + \sin x \cos x) , dx$ is best. Let me double-check if there's an exact match for "integration of 1 1 sinx cosx". It's almost certainly $\int (1 + \sin x \cos x) dx$.

Intro: The integration of $1 + \sin x \cos x$ is a classic calculus problem that beautifully illustrates how complex-looking expressions can be broken down into simpler, manageable parts. When faced with this integral, the key is to recognize the underlying structure—a constant term and a product of trigonometric functions—and apply fundamental integration rules to solve them independently. Mastering this specific integration builds a strong foundation for tackling more advanced problems in calculus. Understanding the step-by-step process not only yields the correct antiderivative but also deepens your appreciation for the elegant logic of calculus.
-
Steps:
- Step 1: Separate the integral. $\int (1 + \sin x \cos x) dx = \int 1 dx + \int \sin x \cos x dx$.
- Step 2: Integrate the first part. $\int 1 dx = x + C_1$.
- Step 3: Integrate the second part. Use u-substitution. Let $u = \sin x$, then $du = \cos x dx$. So $\int \sin x \cos x dx = \int u du = \frac{u^2}{2} = \frac{\sin^2 x}{2}$.
- Alternative Step 3: Use identity. $\sin x \cos x = \frac{1}{2}\sin(2x)$. Then $\int \frac{1}{2}\sin(2x) dx = -\frac{1}{4}\cos(2x)$. (Note: these are equivalent up to a constant).
-
Scientific Explanation: Explain why splitting works (linearity of integration). Explain why u-substitution works (chain rule in reverse). Explain the double angle identity $\sin(2x) = 2\sin x \cos x$.
-
FAQ:
- Q: Can I use other substitutions? A: Yes, $u = \cos x$ works too.
- Q: Are both answers for $\int \sin x \cos x dx$ completely different? A: No, they differ only by a constant, which gets absorbed into the arbitrary constant of integration.
- Q: What is the final answer? A: $x + \frac{\sin^2 x}{2} + C$ or $x - \frac{\cos(2x)}{4} + C$.
-
Conclusion: Summarize. Reiterate that breaking things down is a powerful strategy.

The integration of expressions that combine simple polynomials with trigonometric products often appears daunting at first glance. One such example is the indefinite integral
[ \int\bigl(1+\sin x\cos x\bigr),dx . ]
At its core, the problem asks for an antiderivative that, when differentiated, reproduces the original integrand. The elegance of calculus lies in the fact that a systematic breakdown of the problem not only yields the correct answer but also reveals the underlying logical connections between algebraic manipulation, substitution, and trigonometric identities. Which means by separating the integral into manageable parts, applying the linearity property of integration, and exploring alternative methods such as (u)-substitution and double‑angle formulas, we gain a deeper appreciation for how different techniques interlock to solve a single problem. This article walks through each stage, explains the theoretical foundations, answers common questions, and underscores why mastering these strategies is valuable for any student of mathematics Not complicated — just consistent..
Step‑by‑step integration
-
Separate the integral – The linearity of integration allows us to split the sum inside the integral sign:
[ \int\bigl(1+\sin x\cos x\bigr),dx =\int 1,dx+\int\sin x\cos x,dx . ]
This separation is legitimate because for any integrable functions (f) and (g) and constants (a,b),
[ \int\bigl(af+bg\bigr),dx = a\int f,dx + b\int g,dx . ]
-
Integrate the constant term – The antiderivative of (1) is simply (x); adding an arbitrary constant (C_{1}) gives
[ \int 1,dx = x + C_{1}. ]
-
Integrate the product (\sin x\cos x) – Two common approaches are presented.
a. (u)-substitution
Recognize that (\sin x\cos x) resembles the derivative of (\sin^{2}x). Set[ u = \sin x \quad\Longrightarrow\quad du = \cos x,dx . ]
Substituting yields
[ \int\sin x\cos x,dx = \int u,du = \frac{u^{2}}{2}+C_{2} =\frac{\sin^{2}x}{2}+C_{2}. ]
b. Double‑angle identity
Use the identity (\sin(2x)=2\sin x\cos x) to rewrite the integrand:[ \int\sin x\cos x,dx =\frac12\int\sin(2x),dx . ]
Since (\int\sin(kx),dx = -\frac{\cos(kx)}{k}), we obtain
[ \frac12\Bigl(-\frac{\cos(2x)}{2}\Bigr)+C_{3} =-\frac{\cos(2x)}{4}+C_{3}. ]
Both results are equivalent because
[ \frac{\sin^{2}x}{2} =-\frac{\cos(2x)}{4}+ \frac14, ]
and the constant (\frac14) can be absorbed into the overall integration constant.
