Integration by parts (2-x)cos(nPi/2)x?

Homework Statement

Hi,

I'm doing fouier transforms and I'm not sure how to integrate (2-x)cos(nPi/2)x, (1,2). Anyone able to help me out? Even the indefinite integral would be fine.

I guess u would be (2-x) and dv would be cos(nPi/2)x dx. I'm not sure how to handle (nPi/2) since it is not a constant. Does (nPi/2) stay with x at all times?

n pi/2 IS a constant during the integration with respect to x.
Yes, it will be fine if you integrate by parts. How is the function exactly defined? Are you sure that you wrote the cosine function correctly? .

Thanks Ehild,

It's actually a half range expansion. The function is:

f(x)= (1, 0<x<1
(2-x, 1=<x=<2

So I believe the cosine function is correct. I won't try and integrate it right now but I should be ok with it.

Many thanks
