SUMMARY
The discussion focuses on evaluating the integral of sin(√x) using substitution and integration by parts. The recommended substitution is u = √x, which simplifies the integral by eliminating the square root. The differential dx is expressed as 2u du, leading to the transformed integral ∫ 2u sin(u) du. The final result is -2√x cos(√x) + 2sin(√x) + C, where C is the constant of integration.
