SUMMARY
The discussion focuses on applying the Second Mean Value Theorem in Bonnet's form to demonstrate the existence of a point \( p \) in the interval \([0, p]\) such that the integral \(\int_0^p e^{-x} \cos x \, dx = \sin p\). The Mean Value Theorem for Integrals is utilized, where the function \( f(x) = e^{-x} \cos x \) is evaluated. The conclusion is that there exists a \( c \) in the interval \((0, p)\) satisfying the equation, confirming the theorem's application in this context.
