integral of sin(x^2)


So you resurrected this thread from over a year ago just to say you did not understand it?

The original question was to integrate [itex]sin(x^2)[/itex], NOT [itex]sin^2(x)[/itex] for which your solution would be appropriate.

That was said back in November of 2009.

I think I have a solution. I hope it was not so late :).

tan(x^2)=m

dx=cos(x^2)dm


integral [sin(x^2)] = integral [mdm/(m^2+1)]

m^2+1=a and 2mdm=da ........

integral [sin(x^2)] = 0.5*ln[(tan(x^2))^2+1]+c

Why is this true?

Well, if dx = cos(x^2) dm, then sec(x^2) = dm/dx and m=... I got lost.

Actualy is not true. I have done a misteke when calculete the [tan(x^2)]'

2xdx=cos^2(x^2)dm is true

if I find a solution with this I ll write.

No no no.

If tan(x^2) = m, then [tex]2x sec^2(x^2) dx = dm[/tex] and [tex]2x dx = cos^2(x^2) dm[/tex]

Can you see why?

Why have you suddenly jumped into this thread from back in February? Did you not read the previous posts? As said in the very first response, [itex]sin(x^2)[/itex] does NOT have an elementary anti-derivative.

After EquinoX told us that the problem was really
[tex]\int_{y= 0}^5\int_{x= y^2}^{25} y sin(x^2)dx dy[/tex]
it was suggested that he reverse the order of integration. Doing that it becomes
[tex]\int_{x= 0}^{25}\int_{y= 0}^{\sqrt{x}} y sin(x^2)dy dx[/tex]
[tex]= \frac{1}{2}\int_{x= 0}^{25}\left[y^2\right]_{y=0}^{\sqrt{x}} sin(x^2) dx[/tex]
[tex]= \frac{1}{2}\int_{x= 0}^{25} x sin(x^2) dx[/tex]
which can be integrated by using the substitution [itex]u= x^2[/itex]:
If [itex]u= x^2[/itex], du= 2x dx so x dx= (1/2)du. When x= 0, u= 0 and when x= 25, u= 625 so the integral is
[tex]\frac{1}{4}\int_0^{625} sin(u) du= -\frac{1}{4}\left[cos(u)\right]_0^{625}[/tex]
[tex]= -\frac{1}{4}(-0.984387)= 0.246097[/tex]
I have a problem. Isn't:
[tex]\left[cos(u)\right]_0^{625} = cos(625)-cos(0) = (-0.984387)-(1)=-1.984387 [/tex]

Therefore;
[tex]\frac{1}{4}\int_0^{625} sin(u) du = -\frac{1}{4}(-1.984387)= 0.496097[/tex]
