Integration help!!!

OpenStudy (roadjester):

\(\Psi = \sqrt{\dfrac 2 L} sin{(\dfrac {2\pi x}{L})}\) for 0\(\le\)x\(\le\) L. Determine the expectation value. The expectation value <x> is calculated as \[<x> = \int_{-\infty}^{+\infty} \Psi^* x \Psi dx\] where \(\Psi^*\) is the complex conjugate of \(\Psi\). Anyone know how to do the calculation?

OpenStudy (roadjester):

Indeed, except no one wants to help in physics and this IS integration which is calculus.
