Primitive of Sine Function/Corollary

Corollary to Primitive of Sine Function

$\ds \int \sin a x \rd x = - \frac {\cos a x} a + C$

where $a$ is a non-zero constant.


Proof

\(\ds \int \sin x \rd x\) \(=\) \(\ds -\cos x + C\) Primitive of $\sin x$
\(\ds \leadsto \ \ \) \(\ds \int \sin a x \rd x\) \(=\) \(\ds \frac 1 a \paren {-\cos a x} + C\) Primitive of Function of Constant Multiple
\(\ds \) \(=\) \(\ds -\frac {\cos a x} a + C\) simplifying

$\blacksquare$
