Hi!
I’m not sure how you would go about this question and the mark scheme isn’t any help.![Name: 90C634C3-F613-43C5-9054-6D1283F8CDB8.jpg.jpeg

If you use LATE you should take sin2x as ‘u’ and then integrate e^cosx but apparently that’s not possible to integrate? The final answer is 2.
Thanks

P.S. I would use double angle identity here.

It’s not possible so you might try the setup the other way for u and v’

You can also use the DI method, it is a very quick, efficient way of doing integration by parts

I'll use this as an example
choose something to integrate and differentiate and create a table like so including the plus and minus signs
keep differentiating and integrating until either:
1. the differential is zero
2.you can easily integrate the product of the horizontal
3. You arrive at an almost identical point as the question (like my example, the derivative has e^2x and the integral has sin(x)
take the product of all the diagonal and add them together
take the integral of the product of the horizontal, you will end up having a term that is equal to the original question but is scaled by some value, bring it all to one side and divide by that scalar, you have your answer, then plug in your bounds, with your question, differentiate e^cos x and integrate sin(2x)

It may look quite long winded but once you start to use it, it becomes so quick! Can save you a good few minutes in the exam (just mention that that is the method you're using!)

Using the double angle identity is key here. You need to group something with
in order to get something you can integrate by recognition (or by substitution, but if you can't recognize it, you probably won't be able to spot what to do).

Is this a real exam question or somebody's made-up question? Any "normal" person would probably replace sin2x with 2sinxcosx and then sub u = cos x, leaving a straightforward application of IBP to the 'u'-integral, rather than trying to do IBP on the initial integral

sorry the reply took so long, but I ended up using both integration by parts and substitution because I kept ending up at dead ends by just doing it with parts. Here’s my working I subbed in the values and got the correct answer of two. (there should be an extra ‘u’ i just missed it out in a line.

It looks like a question from Madasmaths (created by the TSR user TeeEm). Except for substitution, exam questions rarely force you to use a certain integration method.

[I was looking at this as analogous to integrating x^3 exp(-x^2) by parts and would have done it directly ].

Mind you, I have no idea what "LATE" and "DI" methods are supposed to be - there seems to be a modern tendency to pile methods on top of methods for the sake of having an acronym, instead of just following the basic principle of IBP. Apart from slightly more subtle examples where you use "1" as one of the functions, there are usually only 2 choices for what to differentiate vs what to integrate, and you pretty soon find out if you've made the wrong one

Although like you I've never used them, so I may be talking nonsense!
