Math Help - Intergration Probs

1. Intergration Probs

Hi,
Im doing Fourier Series atm for an exam on monday!

And im stuck on intergration by parts.
X cos n (pi) = ?
...........2

Im prity sure it its get broken apart into X and cos n (pi)
.................................................. ....................2

so basically what im asking is what is the integral of Cos n (pi) is it 2 Sin n (pi)
.................................................. ............................2 .................n

Sorry for the .... its the only way i could get it to line up correctly!!

thanks for your time and help

2 n

you mean $\cos \frac {n \pi {\color {red}x}}2$, right?

choose x to be the function to differentiate and the cosine the function to integrate.

thus, $\int x \cos \frac {n \pi x}2~dx = \frac {2x}{n \pi} \sin \frac {n \pi x}2 - \frac 2{n \pi} \int \sin \frac {n \pi x}2 ~dx$

now continue

is the integral of this 2X -cos n(pi)X
............................n(pi).........2

sorry thanks again!

$\int \sin \frac {n \pi x}2~dx = - \frac 2{n \pi} \cos \frac {n \pi x}2$
now multiply that by the $- \frac 2{n \pi}$ and continue. note $\frac {n \pi}2$ is a constant, use substitution if you can't see the integral right away
