See - Wolfram|Alpha Click on Show steps.

3. That's good. But I'm looking for a solution in which integration by parts is NOT used.

there's no scape dear.

Consider $y = t \sin t$.

Then $\frac{dy}{dt} = \sin t + t \cos t$.

Now integrate both sides:

$y = \int \sin t + t \cos t \, dt = \int \sin t \, dt + \int t \cos t \, dt$.

Substitute $y = t \sin t$:

$t \sin t = \int \sin t \, dt + \int t \cos t \, dt$.

Re-arrange to make the required integral the subject:

$\int t \cos t \, dt = t \sin t - \int \sin t \, dt = t \sin t + \cos t + C$.
