Identify the function you need to find the antiderivative of, which is \(\pi \cos \pi x\).
Recall that the antiderivative (indefinite integral) of \(\cos(ax)\) with respect to \(x\) is \(\frac{1}{a} \sin(ax) + C\), where \(a\) is a constant and \(C\) is the constant of integration.
Apply this rule to the function \(\pi \cos \pi x\). Since the function has a constant multiplier \(\pi\), factor it out and integrate \(\cos \pi x\).
Integrate \(\cos \pi x\) to get \(\frac{1}{\pi} \sin \pi x + C\). Then multiply by the constant \(\pi\) outside the integral.
Combine the results to write the antiderivative as \(\pi \times \frac{1}{\pi} \sin \pi x + C\), which simplifies to \(\sin \pi x + C\). Remember to verify your answer by differentiating it to check if you get back the original function.

Concetti chiave

Ecco i concetti essenziali che devi comprendere per rispondere correttamente alla domanda.

Antiderivative (Indefinite Integral)

An antiderivative of a function is another function whose derivative equals the original function. It represents the reverse process of differentiation and is expressed with an arbitrary constant since differentiation of a constant is zero.

Integration of Trigonometric Functions

Integrating trigonometric functions like cosine involves recognizing standard integral forms. For example, the integral of cos(kx) dx is (1/k) sin(kx) + C, where k is a constant multiplier inside the function's argument.

Verification by Differentiation

After finding an antiderivative, differentiating it should return the original function. This step confirms the correctness of the antiderivative and helps identify any missing constants or errors in integration.

53. Distance between two ships At noon, ship A was 12 nautical miles due north of ship B. Ship A was sailing south at 12 knots (nautical miles per hour; a nautical mile is 2000 yd) and continued to do so all day. Ship B was sailing east at 8 knots and continued to do so all day.

a. Start counting time with t=0 at noon and express the distance s between the ships as a function of t.
