Math Problem Statement
6 sin 𝑥 𝑥 𝑑𝑥 = ⋯
Solution
The integral you've provided is:
This is a challenging integral, and there is no elementary function for this expression. However, it's possible to represent the solution in terms of special functions, such as the Sine Integral function ().
The solution is expressed as:
Where:
- is the Sine Integral function.
- is the constant of integration.
This is the most straightforward way to represent the solution since a direct elementary solution does not exist.
