Let I = x cos 1 x d x
Put cos 1 x = t x = cos t d x = sin t d t I = x cos 1 x d x = t cos t sin t d t = 1 2 t 2 sin t cos t d t = 1 2 t sin 2 t d t
When integrating by parts with t as the first function and sin 2t as the second function, we get
I = 1 2 [ t sin 2 t d t [ d d t ( t ) sin 2 t d t ] d t = 1 2 [ t ( cos 2 t ) 2 + 1 cos 2 t 2 d t ] = 1 4 t cos 2 t 1 8 sin 2 t + C = 1 4 t ( 2 cos 2 t 1 ) 1 8 2 sin t cos t + C = 1 4 ( 2 x 2 1 ) cos 1 x 1 4 x 1 x 2 + C
