Consider the integral
\begin{equation}
I(x)= \frac{1}{\pi} \int^{\pi}_{0} sin(xsint) dt
\end{equation}
show that
\begin{equation}
I(x)= 4+ \frac{2x}{\pi}x +O(x^{3})
\end{equation}
as [itex]x\rightarrow0[/itex].

=> I Have used the expansion of McLaurin series of [itex]I(x)[/itex] but did not work.
please help me.

(Note: It is not my homework or coursework question but it is from past exam paper which i am preparing for my exam)

Please show your working.

Maclearen series: $$f(t)=\sum_{n=0}^\infty \frac{f^{(n)}(0)}{n!}x^n$$

##f(t)=\sin(x\sin t),\; f(0)=0##

##f'(t)=\cdots##

##f''(t)=\cdots##

etc. until you start getting terms in x3
 
wel,
