Evaluate the following repeated integral:
[Pi/2]\int[/0][Pi/2]\int[/y]cos y sin x dx dy
 
Physics news on Phys.org
Have you ever encountered integration by iteration?

Also, you need to show your attempt at a solution.
 
This is
[tex]\int_{y=0}^{\pi/2}\int_{x= y}^{\pi/2}cos(y) sin(x)dy dx[/tex]
[tex]= \int_{y= 0}^{\pi/2}cos(y)\left(\int_{x= y}^{2\pi} sin(x)dx\right)dy[/tex]

Now, what is
[tex]\int_{x= y}^{\pi/2} sin(x)dx[/tex]?
