I know how to calculate indefinite integral of sin x but i'm stuck with sin (x)^(1/2).

To solve the indefinite integral of sin sqrt x, I'll
suggest to change the variable x into t^2, such as:


sin
(sqrt x) = sin sqrt t^2 = sin t


x =
t^2


We'll differentiate both
sides:


dx = 2tdt


We'll
re-write the inetgral:


Int sin (sqrt x) dx = Int 2t*sin t
dt


We'll solve the integral by
parts.


Int udv = u*v - Int v
du


u = 2t => du =
2dt


dv = sin t dt => v = -cos
t


Int 2t*sin t dt = -2t*cos t + 2*Int cos t
dt


Int 2t*sin t dt = -2t*cos t + 2*sin t +
C


The indefinite integral of sin sqrt x
is:


Int sin sqrt x dx = 2sin (sqrt x) -
2*sqrt x*cos (sqrt x) + C

What accomplishments did Bill Clinton have as president?

Of course, Bill Clinton's presidency will be most clearly remembered for the fact that he was only the second president ever...
