integrate x^2 sinx
OpenStudy (armor):
This is a fairly lengthy problem to work out from scratch. You will have to apply integration by parts twice.
OpenStudy (anonymous):
i just need the answer
OpenStudy (armor):
I won't just give you the answer. First, we need to identify the \(u,v\) for the first time. What do you think they should be?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
i got -x^2 cosx + 2xsinx + 2cosx + C

wolfram puts it in a different form and isn't clear to me
OpenStudy (armor):
Well, let's do it by hand then. What do you think the \(u,v\) should be?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
yes
OpenStudy (anonymous):
i used tabular method
OpenStudy (anonymous):
so u was x^2... dv=sinx

Alright. Then \(du=2x\) and \(v=-\cos(x)\). So after one step of integration, we get\[-x^2\cos(x)-\int-\cos(x)2x dx=-x^2\cos(x)+2\int x\cos(x)dx\]Now we integrate by parts again.
OpenStudy (armor):
This time with \(u=x\), and \(dv=\cos(x)\). We get\[-x^2\cos(x)+2\left(x\sin(x)-\int \sin(x)dx\right)\]Still following?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
yes
OpenStudy (armor):
Now we do that last integral and distribute the 2 to get \[-x^2\cos(x)+2x\sin(x)+2\cos(x)+C\]
OpenStudy (anonymous):
ok, that's what i got!
