Hello, I would like to know if you can help me with this problem the intergal of (cos (6x)+1), I’ve understood it as far as cos (1/2 (ax)) but where is the sqrt of 2 coming from?! Thank you.

integral of (cos (6x)+1) dx ??? from where to where or indefinite?

anyway if you do not have a typo, that is the sum of two integrals
cos 6x dx + 1 dx

(1/6) sin 6x + x + c

Definite

I mean indefinite

from where to where then and what is the a in (1/2)ax ?

Please check what you typed carefully.

Well, I did the indefinite integral and have no idea where your a and your square root come from.

There is something your are not telling us.

I have a photo of it, is there a way that I can post it on here?!

Of course! I'd be happy to help you understand the integral of cos(6x) + 1. However, I'm not sure where you encountered the square root of 2 in the context of this integral. Could you please provide some additional details or context?

In general, the integral of cos(ax) with respect to x can be calculated using the formula:

∫cos(ax) dx = (1/a)sin(ax) + C,

where C is the constant of integration. This formula is derived using basic rules of integration and the chain rule.

For the integral of cos(6x), we can use this formula with a = 6:

∫cos(6x) dx = (1/6)sin(6x) + C.

The integral of 1 with respect to x is simply x, so the integral of cos(6x) + 1 with respect to x would be:

∫(cos(6x) + 1) dx = ∫cos(6x) dx + ∫1 dx = (1/6)sin(6x) + x + C.

If you can provide more information about where the square root of 2 is coming into play, I'll be able to give you an explanation specific to that context.
