Identify the integral to solve: \(\int (-2 \cos t) \, dt\).
Recall the basic integral formula for cosine: \(\int \cos t \, dt = \sin t + C\).
Apply the constant multiple rule for integrals: \(\int k f(t) \, dt = k \int f(t) \, dt\), where \(k\) is a constant.
Rewrite the integral using the constant multiple: \(\int (-2 \cos t) \, dt = -2 \int \cos t \, dt\).
Integrate \(\cos t\) and multiply by \(-2\): \(-2 \sin t + C\), where \(C\) is the constant of integration.

Concetti chiave

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

Indefinite Integral

An indefinite integral represents the family of all antiderivatives of a function and is expressed with a constant of integration, C. It reverses differentiation, meaning if F'(x) = f(x), then ∫f(x) dx = F(x) + C.

Integration of Trigonometric Functions

Integrating trigonometric functions like cosine involves knowing their antiderivatives. For example, the integral of cos(t) dt is sin(t) + C, and constants can be factored out to simplify the process.

Verification by Differentiation

After finding an indefinite integral, differentiating the result should return the original integrand. This step confirms the correctness of the antiderivative and helps identify any errors in the integration process.
