Prove Fourier Series Limit: Integral of Ln(x) Sin(nx)

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The discussion focuses on proving the limit of the integral of Ln(x) multiplied by Sin(nx) as n approaches infinity, specifically lim_{n → ∞} ∫_{0}^{π} Ln(x) Sin(nx) dx. The user is advised to utilize the identity involving Fourier coefficients, where c_{n}^2 ∫_{a}^{b} φ_{n}^2 ρ dx approaches zero under certain conditions. The user seeks clarification on how to apply this identity, particularly whether to set ρ as log x and φ^2 as Sin(nx).

Show that
[tex]\lim_{n \rightarrow \infty} \int_{0}^{\pi} Ln(x) Sin(nx) dx[/tex]

i was told to use this identity
given that [itex]int f^2 \rho dx[/itex] is finite then
[tex]c_{n}^2 \int_{a}^{b} \phi_{n}^2 \rho dx = \frac{(\int_{a}^{b} f \phi_{n} \rho dx)^2}{\int_{a}^{b} \phi_{n}^2 \rho dx} \rightarrow 0[/tex] and n approaches infinity

here Cn are the Fourier Coefficients

but how do i relate this to the problem i have
would rho = log x and phi^2 = sin nx?
Please help!
