Power series for § x²sin(x)dx

OpenStudy (johnweldon1993):

Find the power series for \[\large \int\limits^{}_{}x^{2}\sin(x)dx\]

OpenStudy (amistre64):

whats the section symbol mean? oh sin(x) is fairly common

OpenStudy (johnweldon1993):

yeah I dont know the integral alt key lol...

OpenStudy (amistre64):

☺ alt 1 is about ill i recall of the alt combos

OpenStudy (johnweldon1993):

and I believe that sin(x) = \[\large \sum_{}^{} \frac{(-1)^n x^{2n +1}}{(2n+1)}\] Factorial on the bottom

OpenStudy (amistre64):

assume sin(x) = sum f x^n x^2 sin(x) = sum f x^(n+2) integrating a polynomail ... f x^(n+3) -------- n+3

OpenStudy (amistre64):

yeah, thats the sum of sin

OpenStudy (amistre64):

missing a ! underndath, but close enough

OpenStudy (johnweldon1993):

So hang on, just to be clear...since this is an integral, I cannot just make this x² times the sum of sin?

OpenStudy (amistre64):

yeah

OpenStudy (johnweldon1993):

Or do I actually have to integrate this by parts...

OpenStudy (amistre64):

\[x^2(a_0+a_1x+a_2x^2+a_3x^3+...)=a_0x^2+a_1x^3a_2x^4+a_3x^5+...\]

OpenStudy (amistre64):

lost a + inthere
