How do I approach this: integral of sin(pi x)cos(pi x) dx?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

u sub

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[=\int\limits_{ }^{}\cos(\nu x) d(\sin(\nu x) *1/\nu=...\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

suppose to be: pi*x... something wrong with my table :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I tried u = sin(pi x) and came up with 1/2 sin^2 (pi x) +c ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

should be 1/(2pi)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Let\[u =\sin (\pi x) dx\]\[du/\pi =\cos (\pi x) dx\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

right... so your answer should have 1/2pi not just 1/2 right?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I am not sure what you guys are referring to 1/2 and sin^2?!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Oh, you mean, after the integration.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[(\pi/2)\sin ^{2}(\pi x)\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Ok the answer is (1/2pi)*sin^2 (pi x) +C Please verify as i feel that its still not right. Thankyou

OpenStudy (anonymous):

You have to say what you think is wrong. I showed the basics of the works.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Actually it should be\[(1/2\pi)\sin ^{2}(\pi x) + C\]

Thank you.
