Class 12 Maths · Integrals · Very Long Answer #117

Evaluate \(\int_0^{3/2}|x\cos(\pi x)|dx\).

✅ Step-by-Step Solution

Final Answer: 5/(2π)−1/π²
  1. Since x≥0, split at cosπx=0: x=1/2 and the endpoint 3/2. The product is positive on (0,1/2) and negative on (1/2,3/2).
  2. Thus I=∫₀^(1/2)x cosπx dx−∫_(1/2)^(3/2)x cosπx dx.
  3. By parts a primitive is F=x sinπx/π+cosπx/π². Its values are F(0)=1/π², F(1/2)=1/(2π), F(3/2)=−3/(2π).
  4. The first positive contribution is 1/(2π)−1/π²; the second is 2/π. Add them.
  5. Therefore the integral equals 5/(2π)−1/π².
