Quick question.

OpenStudy (austinl):

\[\int\limits_{}{}x^2\sin(4x)dx\]

OpenStudy (wach):

Alright, so for this problem, you're going to want to use the substitution method since you have multiple x-variables, if that makes sense. U-substitution, it's called so we set 4x = u

OpenStudy (austinl):

\[\int_{}{}x^2\sin(u)\] u=4x Right?

OpenStudy (wach):

Right, and then you need to be aware of the derivative of u, which is 4

OpenStudy (austinl):

\[\int_{}{}x^2dx \times \int_{}{}\sin(u)....d?\]

OpenStudy (austinl):

Perhaps I am getting ahead of myself.

OpenStudy (austinl):

Is that correct?

OpenStudy (bahrom7893):

Integrate by parts twice.

OpenStudy (austinl):

Forgive me, but I am crap at integration.

OpenStudy (bahrom7893):

Or use tabular method (which is the same thing). Use: u = x^2; dv = Sin(4x)dx

OpenStudy (austinl):

Ok, perhaps you could run me through the steps. I know.... \[\int_{}{}udv = uv - \int_{}{}vdu\]

OpenStudy (bahrom7893):

ok so find v and du

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[\int\limits uv dx=1st*\int\limits 2nd dx-\int\limits differential of 1st*\int\limits 2nd dx *dx\]

OpenStudy (austinl):

du = 2x v = (-cos(4x))/4 \[\int_{}{}x^2\sin(4x) = (x^2)(\frac{-\cos(4x)}{4}) - \int_{}{}(\frac{-\cos(4x)}{4})(2x)\] Is this correct?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

correct write dx at the end

OpenStudy (austinl):

So now I need to evaluate that integral.... joy...

OpenStudy (anonymous):

1/2xcos4x dx

OpenStudy (austinl):

\[= (x^2)(\frac{-\cos(4x)}{4}) - \frac{-cos(4x) + 4x\sin(4x)}{32}\] Is this correct?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[\frac{ 1 }{ 2 }\int\limits x \cos 4x dx=\frac{ 1 }{ 2 }[x*\frac{ -\sin 4x }{4 }-\int\limits 1*\frac{ -\sin 4x }{ 4}dx+c\] again integrate sin4x
