Evaluate the following definite integral:
integral subscript 0 superscript straight pi over 2 end superscript space straight x squared space sinx space dx.
   




Solution

Let I = integral subscript 0 superscript straight pi over 2 end superscript space straight x squared space sinx space dx space equals space open square brackets straight x squared left parenthesis negative left parenthesis cosx right parenthesis close square brackets subscript 0 superscript straight pi over 2 end superscript space minus space integral subscript 0 superscript straight pi divided by 2 end superscript space 2 straight x space left parenthesis negative cos space straight x right parenthesis space dx
   equals space minus space open square brackets straight x squared space cosx close square brackets subscript 0 superscript straight pi divided by 2 end superscript space plus space 2 space integral subscript 0 superscript straight pi divided by 2 end superscript straight x space cosx space dx
