Math Problem Statement

∫ 1 0 ∫ x 0 sin x x dy dx

Solution

The given double integral is:

010xsinxxdydx\int_0^1 \int_0^x \frac{\sin x}{x} \, dy \, dx

Step-by-Step Solution:

  1. Evaluate the inner integral: The inner integral is with respect to yy, but since sinxx\frac{\sin x}{x} does not depend on yy, it can be treated as a constant with respect to yy.

    So, the inner integral becomes:

    0xsinxxdy=sinxx(x0)=sinx\int_0^x \frac{\sin x}{x} \, dy = \frac{\sin x}{x} \cdot (x - 0) = \sin x

  2. Substitute and evaluate the outer integral: Now the problem reduces to a single integral with respect to xx:

    01sinxdx\int_0^1 \sin x \, dx

    The integral of sinx\sin x is cosx-\cos x, so we get:

    [cosx]01=cos(1)+cos(0)\left[ -\cos x \right]_0^1 = -\cos(1) + \cos(0)

  3. Final result: We know that cos(0)=1\cos(0) = 1, so:

    cos(1)+1-\cos(1) + 1

    The exact value of cos(1)\cos(1) is approximately 0.5403, so the final result is:

    1cos(1)10.5403=0.45971 - \cos(1) \approx 1 - 0.5403 = 0.4597

Thus, the value of the integral is approximately 0.4597.
