`int_0^(pi/2) xsin(2x) dx` Use integration tables to evaluate the definite integral.

To evaluate the integral problem: `int_0^(pi/2) xsin(2x) dx` ,we may first  solve for its indefinite integral. Indefinite integral are written in the form of `int f(x) dx = F(x) +C`


 where: `f(x)` as the integrand


           `F(x)` as the anti-derivative function 


           `C`  as the arbitrary constant known as constant of integration


We follow a formula from basic integration table to determine the indefinite integral function `F(x)`...

To evaluate the integral problem: `int_0^(pi/2) xsin(2x) dx` ,we may first  solve for its indefinite integral. Indefinite integral are written in the form of `int f(x) dx = F(x) +C`


 where: `f(x)` as the integrand


           `F(x)` as the anti-derivative function 


           `C`  as the arbitrary constant known as constant of integration


We follow a formula from basic integration table to determine the indefinite integral function `F(x)` . For the integrals with logarithm, the problem resembles the formula:


`int x sin(ax) dx= -(xcos(ax))/a+sin(ax)/a^2 +C` .


By comparing `x sin(ax) ` with` xsin(2x)` , we determine that  `a= 2` .


 Plug-in `a=2` to the integral formula, we get:


`int_0^(pi/2) xsin(2x) dx=-(xcos((2)x))/(2)+sin((2)x)/(2)^2|_0^(pi/2)`


`=-(xcos(2x))/2+sin(2x)/4|_0^(pi/2)`


After solving the indefinite integral from, we may apply definite integral formula:` F(x)|_a^b = F(b) - F(a)` .


`-(xcos(2x))/2+sin(2x)/4|_0^(pi/2) =[-((pi/2) *cos(2*(pi/2)))/2+sin(2*(pi/2))/4]-[-(0*cos(2*0))/2+sin(2*0)/4 ]`


`=[-((pi/2) *cos(pi ))/2+sin(pi) /4]-[-(0*cos(0))/2+sin(0)/4 ]`


`=[-(pi*(-1))/4+0 /4]-[-(0*1)/2+(0)/4 ]`


`=[pi/4+0]-[0+0]`


`= [pi/4] - [0]`


`=pi/4`

How are race, gender, and class addressed in Oliver Optic's Rich and Humble?

While class does play a role in Rich and Humble , race and class aren't addressed by William Taylor Adams (Oliver Opic's real name) ...
