How is integral finished? and what integral equation used?

In summary, the conversation is about expanding the function F(x) with particle in a box energy eigenfunctions, where F(x)= x(x-l) for 0<x<l and F(x)=0 elsewhere. The wave function psi of the ground state particle in a box equation is also mentioned. The conversation also discusses two integrals involving sin(ax) and x, as well as x^2 and sin(ax), with a = npi/l. The person also asks if the other person has encountered these integrals before. The conversation ends with a thank you and a response of "you're welcome".

Hello zq,
Is there a context to this question ? What is this about ? Any idea what each of the various symbols stands for ?

sorry for the so simple description
this is a expand F(x) with particle in a box energy eigenfuctions
F(x)=x(x-l) for 0<x<l and F(x)=0 elsewhere
psi is the wave function of ground state particle in a box equation

So at the core you need $$ \int_0^l x\, sin(ax)\; dx {\rm \quad and \quad} \int_0^l x^2 \,sin(ax)\; dx$$ (with ## a = n\pi/l##) , right ?
Ever met these integrals ?

1. How is integral finished?

The process of completing an integral involves evaluating the integral expression and obtaining a numerical value. This is often done through integration techniques such as substitution, integration by parts, or using a table of integrals.

2. What is the difference between definite and indefinite integrals?

A definite integral has specific boundaries or limits of integration, while indefinite integrals do not. Definite integrals are used to find the area under a curve, while indefinite integrals are used to find a general solution to a differential equation.

3. What is the fundamental theorem of calculus?

The fundamental theorem of calculus states that the definite integral of a function can be calculated by finding an antiderivative of the function and evaluating it at the upper and lower limits of integration.

4. What is the most commonly used integral equation?

The most commonly used integral equation is the Riemann integral, which is used to calculate the area under a curve by dividing it into smaller rectangles and summing their areas.

5. Are there any applications of integrals in real life?

Yes, integrals have numerous applications in various fields such as physics, engineering, economics, and statistics. For example, they are used to calculate work, velocity, and acceleration in physics, and to find areas and volumes in engineering and architecture.
