Homework Statement


Let's definite the function f(x)=∫(from x to x+1)sin(t^2)dt



Homework Equations


There is another function of x:
g(x)=cos(x^2)/2x-cos((x+1)^2)/2(x+1)


The Attempt at a Solution


Prove that when x→+∞,there is the equation:
f(x)=g(x)+O(1/(x^2))
Here the O(u) means that when u→0, the O(u) is at least infinite small comparable to the infinite small quantity u.

I am only a 12 grade high school student, so I have no methods to solve this. I will be grateful if you could give me some advice. This is a problem from the exercises of the Mathematical Analysis by V.A.Zorich, chapter 6, Volume I.

Ha, I have solved this question. I got this problem from the Chinese Edition of the Zorich Analysis and it has a typo so I could not prove this. The problem in the English Edition is correct.

Consider ((cos(t^2))/t)'=-2sin(t^2)-cos(t^2)/(t^2)
The second part of the right side could be estimated smaller than 1/(x^2). So the problem solved.
 
Write:

<br /> \cos x^{2}=\frac{2x\cos x^{2}}{2x}<br />

and use integration by parts.

Yes, I have already known that.
I could not solve it because there is a typo in my Chinese Edition of the book.
 
Prove $$\int\limits_0^{\sqrt2/4}\frac{1}{\sqrt{x-x^2}}\arcsin\sqrt{\frac{(x-1)\left(x-1+x\sqrt{9-16x}\right)}{1-2x}} \, \mathrm dx = \frac{\pi^2}{8}.$$ Let $$I = \int\limits_0^{\sqrt 2 / 4}\frac{1}{\sqrt{x-x^2}}\arcsin\sqrt{\frac{(x-1)\left(x-1+x\sqrt{9-16x}\right)}{1-2x}} \, \mathrm dx. \tag{1}$$ The representation integral of ##\arcsin## is $$\arcsin u = \int\limits_{0}^{1} \frac{\mathrm dt}{\sqrt{1-t^2}}, \qquad 0 \leqslant u \leqslant 1.$$ Plugging identity above into ##(1)## with ##u...
