What exactly are you asking?

 

[s883]

what to use to solve them - especially the second one- I've tried substitution but got me nowhere

 

[Whitishcube]

For the second one, try integration by parts. Not sure myself if it will work, but by looking at it I see two functions multiplied together. Anything like that you should think substitution or interation by parts.

thanks :)

For the second one:

Isn't the integrand an even function?

 

[SammyS]

For the first one, use integration by parts for:

\int x\cos(x) dx
