from my integration by parts for <x^2> i get (L^2)/3 when accoring to that equation
i should be gettin L^2[(n^2)(pi^2) - 6] / [12(n^2)(pi^2)]
a = L, but you hafta multiply it by 2/L, since the wavefunction is sqrt(2/L) sin(nxpi/L)
<x> doesn't equal <p>
in my textbook they show that,
<x> = L/2 and <p> = 0..
and that integral doesn't really relate because x^n sin x...when i have (x^n)(sin^2 x)
so this pic basically solves my problem
its just that...
i wouldn't know how to integrate to get that in the first place
and
<x>^2 = L^2 / 4...and i can't incorporate that..
because well sqrt( <x^2> * (delta p)^2) = the answer that they want
but i need (delta x)^2(delta p)^2
(delta...
<x^2> = 2/L integral (x^2)sin^2 (nxpi/L) dx
= 2/L[x^2(x/2 - (L / 4npi)sin (2nxpi/L)) - integral x sin^2 (nxpi/L)] from 0 to L
= 2/L[x^2(x/2 - (L / 4npi)sin (2nxpi/L)) - x(x/2 - (L/4npi)sin (2nxpi/L)) - integral of sin^2 (nxpi/L)] from 0 to L

that gives you expected value of the particles position <x>, which is the next question,
i need to find the most likely position of the particle...
is there another way to do this?
