To integrate the function x2sin(x), we will use the technique known as integration by parts.
Integration by parts is a method employed to integrate the product of two functions. This technique involves selecting one function to differentiate and the other to integrate. The formula for integration by parts is given by:
∫udv=uv−∫vduIn this formula, u and v are functions of x, and du/dx and dv/dx denote their respective derivatives.
For the integration of x2sin(x), we can set:
Calculating the derivatives, we find:
Substituting these into the integration by parts formula, we obtain:
∫x2sin(x)dx=−x2cos(x)+∫2xcos(x)dxNext, we need to integrate the term ∫2xcos(x)dx. For this, we will again apply integration by parts. We choose:
Calculating the derivatives gives us:
Applying the integration by parts formula once more, we have:
∫2xcos(x)dx=2xsin(x)−∫2sin(x)dxNow, we compute the integral ∫2sin(x)dx:
∫2sin(x)dx=−2cos(x)Putting it all together, we substitute back into our previous expression:
∫x2sin(x)dx=−x2cos(x)+2xsin(x)−(−2cos(x))This simplifies to:
∫x2sin(x)dx=−x2cos(x)+2xsin(x)+2cos(x)+Cwhere C is the constant of integration. Thus, the final result for the integral of x2sin(x) is:
∫x2sin(x)dx=−x2cos(x)+2xsin(x)+2cos(x)+C![]() 100% | ![]() Global | ![]() 97% | |
