integral from 0 to 1 of xcos(nxpi)

\int_{0}^{1} x cos (n x π) d x

\frac{( - 1 ) ^{n} - 1}{π ^{2} n ^{2}}

Solution steps

\int_{0}^{1} x cos (n x π) d x

Apply u-substitution

= \int_{0}^{πn} \frac{u cos ( u )}{π ^{2} n ^{2}} d u

Take the constant out:

\int a \cdot f (x) d x = a \cdot \int f (x) d x

= \frac{1}{π ^{2} n ^{2}} \cdot \int_{0}^{πn} u cos (u) d u

Apply Integration By Parts

= \frac{1}{π ^{2} n ^{2}} [u sin (u) - \int sin (u) d u]_{0}^{πn}

\int sin (u) d u = - cos (u)

= \frac{1}{π ^{2} n ^{2}} [u sin (u) - (- cos (u))]_{0}^{πn}

Simplify

= \frac{1}{π ^{2} n ^{2}} [u sin (u) + cos (u)]_{0}^{πn}

Compute the boundaries:

(- 1)^{n} - 1

= \frac{1}{π ^{2} n ^{2}} ((- 1)^{n} - 1)

Simplify

= \frac{( - 1 ) ^{n} - 1}{π ^{2} n ^{2}}
