problems

1. S((cosx(^3))sinx dx

2. S(x+1)sin((x^2)+2x dx

3. S(x^2)cos(x^3) dx

Can anyone explain me how I can apply the Gini index? Or use the Gini index when it comes down to calculus?

Thanks I appreciate it in advance.

I guess 'S' is being used as an integral sign? All of these require only simple substitution:

Let $u = \cos x\Rightarrow du = -\sin x\,dx.$

Let $u = x^2 + 2x\Rightarrow du = 2x + 2\,dx.$

Yes the S is the integral. But how can I integrate the cos's and the sin's?

$\int\sin u\,du = -\cos u + C$

$\int\cos u\,du = \sin u + C$

The integration should be fairly straightforward after you make the substitutions. For example, take number 3. Using the substitution I stated earlier,

$\int x^2\cos x^3\,dx$

$=\frac13\int3x^2\cos x^3\,dx$

$=\frac13\int\cos u\,du$

$= \frac13\sin u + C$

$= \frac13\sin x^3 + C.$
