pi -- 3 / | | x*(cos(x) - 1/2) dx | / -pi ---- 3
Integral(x*(cos(x) - 1/2), (x, -pi/3, pi/3))
Rewrite the integrand:
Integrate term-by-term:
Use integration by parts:
Let and let .
Then .
To find :
The integral of cosine is sine:
Now evaluate the sub-integral.
The integral of sine is negative cosine:
The integral of a constant times a function is the constant times the integral of the function:
The integral of is when :
So, the result is:
The result is:
Add the constant of integration:
The answer is:
/ 2 | x | x*(cos(x) - 1/2) dx = C - -- + x*sin(x) + cos(x) | 4 /
