Integral(x*(cos(x) - 1/2), (x, -pi/3, pi/3))
Detail solution
  1. Rewrite the integrand:

  2. Integrate term-by-term:

    1. Use integration by parts:

      Let and let .

      Then .

      To find :

      1. The integral of cosine is sine:

      Now evaluate the sub-integral.

    2. The integral of sine is negative cosine:

    1. The integral of a constant times a function is the constant times the integral of the function:

      1. The integral of is when :

      So, the result is:

    The result is:

  3. Add the constant of integration:


The answer is:
