The antiderivatives involve the sine of cosine integral functions. From their definition, the antiderivatives are respectively $$x \sin \left(\frac{1}{x}\right)-\text{Ci}\left(\frac{1}{x}\right)$$ and $$\text{Si}\left(\frac{1}{x}\right)+x \cos \left(\frac{1}{x}\right)$$ So, the integrals are $$\sin (1)-\text{Ci}(1)$$ and $$\text{Si}(1)-\frac{\pi }{2}+\cos (1)$$ and their numerical values are respectively $0.504067$ and $-0.084411$.
