Trig Identity Rewrite: Rewrite the integral using a trigonometric identity for easier integration.We use the identity: cos(x)=1−2sin2(2x).So, 2+cos(x)=3−2sin2(2x).Rewrite the integral: ∫3−2sin2(2x)dx.
Substitution with u: Substitute u=sin(2x), then du=21cos(2x)dx.Solving for dx, we get dx=2cos(2x)du.
