List of integrals of trigonometric functions

The following is a list of integrals (antiderivative functions) of trigonometric functions. For antiderivatives involving both exponential and trigonometric functions, see List of integrals of exponential functions. For a complete list of antiderivative functions, see Lists of integrals. For the special antiderivatives involving trigonometric functions, see Trigonometric integral.^[1]

Generally, if the function ${\displaystyle \sin x}$ is any trigonometric function, and ${\displaystyle \cos x}$ is its derivative,

$${\displaystyle \int a\cos nx\,dx={\frac {a}{n}}\sin nx+C}$$

In all formulas the constant a is assumed to be nonzero, and C denotes the constant of integration.
