Two math problems for students in a university-level calculus course. The first problem asks students to find a general formula for the integral of cos(nx) dx, where n is a positive odd integer. The second problem asks students to explain how tabular integration by parts works, with a hint to refer to the wikipedia article for more information. Suitable for university students taking a calculus course and may be useful for study notes, summaries, or schemes and mind maps.

Math 141 Homework # Due Tuesday, 11/20/ Extra Problems
Problem #1 Let n = 2m + 1 be a positive odd integer (that is, you can write n = 2m + 1, where m is a nonnegative integer). Find a general formula for ∫ cosn^ x dx.
Your answer should be a function of x in which m appears as a parameter. (Hint: Use the binomial theorem and summation notation.)
Bonus Problem Read the Wikipedia article on tabular integration at
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Integration by parts#Tabular integration by parts
and write a clear and correct explanation of how and why it works.
