integral from 0 to pi/2 of xcos(nx)

\int_{0}^{\frac{π}{2}} x cos (n x) d x

\frac{πn sin ( \frac{πn}{2} ) + 2 cos ( \frac{πn}{2} ) - 2}{2 n ^{2}}

Solution steps

\int_{0}^{\frac{π}{2}} x cos (n x) d x

Apply u-substitution

: \int_{0}^{\frac{πn}{2}} \frac{u cos ( u )}{n ^{2}} d u

= \int_{0}^{\frac{πn}{2}} \frac{u cos ( u )}{n ^{2}} d u

Take the constant out:

\int a \cdot f (x) d x = a \cdot \int f (x) d x

= \frac{1}{n ^{2}} \cdot \int_{0}^{\frac{πn}{2}} u cos (u) d u

Apply Integration By Parts

: [u sin (u) - \int sin (u) d u]_{0}^{\frac{πn}{2}}

= \frac{1}{n ^{2}} [u sin (u) - \int sin (u) d u]_{0}^{\frac{πn}{2}}

\int sin (u) d u = - cos (u)

= \frac{1}{n ^{2}} [u sin (u) - (- cos (u))]_{0}^{\frac{πn}{2}}

Simplify

= \frac{1}{n ^{2}} [u sin (u) + cos (u)]_{0}^{\frac{πn}{2}}

Compute the boundaries:

\frac{πn}{2} sin (\frac{πn}{2}) + cos (\frac{πn}{2}) - 1

= \frac{1}{n ^{2}} (\frac{πn}{2} sin (\frac{πn}{2}) + cos (\frac{πn}{2}) - 1)

Simplify

= \frac{πn sin ( \frac{πn}{2} ) + 2 cos ( \frac{πn}{2} ) - 2}{2 n ^{2}}

\int_{x^{4}}^{x^{5}} (2 t - 1)^{3} d t

\int_{0}^{s i n (x)} 1 + t^{2} d t

\int_{- 4}^{- 3} x^{2} - (2 x + 15) d x

\int_{0}^{2} 2 x (x^{2} - 1)^{3} d x

\int_{0}^{2} 3 x^{3} d x
