How to calculate the definite integral of the function x*cos3x if 0=

The definite integral of the function will be evaluated
with the help of Leibniz Newton formula.


Int x*cos 3x dx =
F(pi/2) - F(0) (x = 0 and x = pi/2 are the limits of
integration)


We'll solve the integral by
parts:


Int udv = u*v - Int vdu
(*)


Let u = x => du =
dx


Let dv = cos 3x dx => v = (sin
3x)/3


We'll apply the formula
(*):


Int x*cos 3x dx = x*(sin 3x)/3 - Int (sin
3x)dx/3


Int x*cos 3x dx = x*(sin 3x)/3 + (cos
3x)/9


But Int x*cos 3x dx = F(pi/2) -
F(0)


F(pi/2) = (pi/2)*(sin 3pi/2)/3 + (cos
3pi/2)/9


F(pi/2) = - pi/6 +
0


F(pi/2) = - pi/6


F(0) = 0 +
(cos 0)/9


F(0) = 1/9


But Int
x*cos 3x dx = - pi/6 - 1/9


The definite
integral of the function y=x*cos 3x is: Int x*cos 3x dx = - pi/6 -
1/9.
