Homework Statement


Find the average value of the function u(x)= 10xsin(x2) on the interval [0, ∏1/2]

(Sorry, I can't figure out how to make the square root symbol)

Homework Equations


The Attempt at a Solution


For the integral of u(x), I got -5cos(x2)

I substituted 0 and ∏1/2 and got 10.

then I multiplied by 1/b-a which was 1/∏1/2

making my final answer 10/∏1/2

[ itex ]\sqrt{\pi}[ /itex ] - omit the extra spaces.
