Answer

$$\frac{1}{4}\sin {x^8} + C$$

Work Step by Step

$$\eqalign{ & \int {2{x^7}\cos {x^8}} dx \cr & {\text{set }}u = {x^8}{\text{ then }}\frac{{du}}{{dx}} = 8{x^7},\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\frac{{du}}{{8{x^7}}} = dx \cr & {\text{write the integrand in terms of }}u \cr & \int {2{x^7}\cos {x^8}} dx = \int {2{x^7}\cos u} \left( {\frac{{du}}{{8{x^7}}}} \right) \cr & {\text{cancel the common factors}} \cr & = \int {\cos u} \left( {\frac{{du}}{4}} \right) \cr & = \frac{1}{4}\int {\cos u} du \cr & {\text{integrate by using the Basic Trigonometric integral }}\int {\cos x} dx = \sin x + C \cr & = \frac{1}{4}\sin u + C \cr & {\text{write in terms of }}x \cr & = \frac{1}{4}\sin {x^8} + C \cr} $$
