Hi, I've tried to solve this problem over and over and always end up with an enormous second integral that seems to never reduce to simpler terms.

[tex]\int\int(x^2+xy+1)dydx[/tex]

Where the bounds of the inner integral are [tex][x-1,xcos(2(\pi)x)][/tex] and the outer integral are [tex][1,0][/tex]

Thank you for any help in advance. Any would be great.

I get

[tex]-\frac {116 \pi^2 + 153}{192 \pi^2}[/tex]

The inner integral came out to be

[tex]x(x^2+1) \cos {2\pi x} - \frac {x^3 \sin^2 2\pi x}{2} -x^3 + 2x^2-\frac {3x}{2} + 1[/tex]
 
Thank you Tide.

For the inner integral I get:

[tex]x^3\cos^2(2(\pi)x)+(x(\cos^2(2(\pi)x)))/2+x\cos^2(2(\pi)x)-x(x-1)-((x(x-1)^2)/2)-x+1[/tex]

I can simplify the second half but not the first. Is there some trick like a substitution to going further from this point, because I've tried integrating this and it was a monster... 2 pages and I couldn't reach a solution.
