Apply the matching trigonometric antiderivative rule, adjust for the constant derivative of the argument, and include + C.
Download the practice pages alone, or include a separate answer key or teacher model. Longer activities may use more than one page.
Customize this worksheetMatch the original integrand to one of six standard trigonometric derivatives, then divide its coefficient by the signed derivative coefficient of the affine argument.
Learning objective
Recognize a standard trigonometric derivative pattern, divide by the signed derivative coefficient of its affine argument, and include + C on the original domain.
Worked example
(2/3)sin(3x - 1) + C
Since d/dx sin(3x - 1) = 3cos(3x - 1), divide the original coefficient 2 by 3.
