integral from-pi to pi of x*sin(nx)

\int_{- π}^{π} x \cdot sin (n x) d x

- \frac{2 π ( - 1 ) ^{n}}{n}

Solution steps

\int_{- π}^{π} x sin (n x) d x

Apply Integration By Parts

= [\frac{1}{n} (- x cos (n x) - n \cdot \int - \frac{1}{n} cos (n x) d x)]_{- π}^{π}

\int - \frac{1}{n} cos (n x) d x = - \frac{1}{n ^{2}} sin (n x)

= [\frac{1}{n} (- x cos (n x) - n (- \frac{1}{n ^{2}} sin (n x)))]_{- π}^{π}

Simplify

[\frac{1}{n} (- x cos (n x) - n (- \frac{1}{n ^{2}} sin (n x)))]_{- π}^{π} : [\frac{1}{n} (- x cos (n x) + \frac{1}{n} sin (n x))]_{- π}^{π}

= [\frac{1}{n} (- x cos (n x) + \frac{1}{n} sin (n x))]_{- π}^{π}

Compute the boundaries:

- 2 (- 1)^{n} \frac{π}{n}

= - 2 (- 1)^{n} \frac{π}{n}

Simplify

= - \frac{2 π ( - 1 ) ^{n}}{n}
