Question

The value of the integral $\displaystyle\int_0^{\pi} x \cdot \sin^2(x) \cdot \cos(x) \, dx$ is:

Options

  1. A

    $0$

  2. B

    $\frac{\pi}{4}$

  3. C

    $-\frac{2}{9}$

  4. D

    $\frac{2\pi}{3}$

Solution

Using the property: $\displaystyle\int_0^{\pi} x \cdot f(\sin x) \, dx = \frac{\pi}{2}\int_0^{\pi} f(\sin x) \, dx$

Here $f(\sin x) = \sin^2(x)\cos(x)$. However, $\cos(x)$ changes sign, so we split:

$$I = \frac{\pi}{2}\int_0^{\pi} \sin^2(x)\cos(x) \, dx$$

Let $u = \sin(x)$, $du = \cos(x)\,dx$. From $0$ to $\pi$, $\sin$ goes $0 \to 0$, so $I = 0$.

$$\boxed{I = 0}$$
