Practice AP Calculus BC questions on selecting u and dv, applying integration by parts, and simplifying the resulting antiderivative.
The function f is twice differentiable for all x with f(0)=0. Values of f′, the derivative of f, are given in the table for selected values of x.
Find ∫(t+5)cos(4t)dt. Show the work that leads to your answer.
Write your responses to this question only on the designated pages in the separate Free Response booklet. Write your solution to each part in the space provided for that part.

∫(t+5)cos(4t)dt=4(t+5)sin(4t)−∫4sin(4t)dtuv−∫vdu
1 point
=4(t+5)sin(4t)+16cos(4t)+C
Answer
1 point
Scoring notes:
- The first and second points are earned with an implied u and d v in the presence of
4(t+5)sin(4t)−∫4sin(4t)dt or a mathematically equivalent expression.
- The tabular method may be used to show integration by parts. In this case, the first point is earned
by columns (labeled or unlabeled) that begin with t+5 and cos(4t). The second point is earned
for 4(t+5)sin(4t)−∫4sin(4t)dt or a mathematically equivalent expression.
- The third point is earned only for an expression mathematically equivalent to
4(t+5)sin(4t)+16cos(4t)+C (such as 4tsin(4t)+20sin(4t)+16cos(4t)+C ) in the presence
of correct supporting work.
- To earn the third point a response must have a final answer that includes a constant of integration.
- Alternate solution:
○ A response can earn the first and second points for correctly applying integration by parts to
∫tcos(4t)dt. The tabular method may be used to show integration by parts. The third point is
earned for the correct answer.
