Homework Statement
Consider the following integral:
I=\int^{\pi/4}_{0}cos(xt^{2})tan^{2}(t)dt
I'm trying to compute as many terms as possible of its asymptotic expansion as x\rightarrow\infty.
Homework Equations
x
The Attempt at a Solution
Let u=cos(xt^{2}). And dv=tan^{2}(t)dt.
Then du=-2xtcos(xt^{2})dt and v=\inttan^{2}(t)dt=tan(t)-t+C.
Integration by parts yields:
I=cos(xt^{2})tan(t)-tcos(xt^{2})+\int[2xtcos(xt^{2})tan(t)-2xt^{2}cos(xt^{2})]dt,
where all terms are evaluated from 0 to pi/4, obviously.
This feels wrong to me. Can anyone give me some help?
