Math Problem Statement

Solve the integral \( \int x^2 \sin(x) \, dx \) using integration by parts.

Solution

The image you provided shows a mathematical expression involving the integral of the function f(x)f(x). The expression appears as follows:

x2sin(x)dx\int x^2 \sin(x) \, dx

This is an integral that can be solved using integration by parts due to the product of x2x^2 and sin(x)\sin(x).

Solution Outline

Using integration by parts, we can let:

  • u=x2u = x^2 and dv=sin(x)dxdv = \sin(x) \, dx.
  • Then du=2xdxdu = 2x \, dx and v=cos(x)v = -\cos(x).

The integration by parts formula is: udv=uvvdu\int u \, dv = uv - \int v \, du

Applying this approach and repeating integration by parts as necessary, we can work through the solution.

Here are some related questions that might deepen your understanding:

  1. What are the steps to apply integration by parts to integrals with powers of xx and trigonometric functions?
  2. How does the process change if we have x3sin(x)x^3 \sin(x) instead of x2sin(x)x^2 \sin(x)?
  3. Can integration by parts be used for integrals involving products of exponential and trigonometric functions?
  4. How do we determine the choice of uu and dvdv in integration by parts?
  5. What are alternative methods for solving integrals involving trigonometric functions and powers of xx?

Tip: When dealing with integration by parts, choosing uu and dvdv correctly (often using LIATE: Logarithmic, Inverse trigonometric, Algebraic, Trigonometric, Exponential) can simplify the process.
