Evaluating $\int_0^1 \! C(x) \, \mathrm dx$ through integration by parts

188 Views Asked by At

$$ \int_0^1 \! C(x) \, \mathrm{d} x. $$

where $C(x) = \int_0^x \cos(t^2) \, \mathrm{d} t$.

I am really not quite sure how to go about this one, especially given that it needs to be calculated using integration by parts.

My lecturer has an example (done using integration by parts) for $\int_0^1 \! xC(x) \, \mathrm{d} x$.

In this example, he let $u = C(x)$, so that $\frac{du}{dx}\ = \cos(x^2)$, which worked out nicely.

In the 2nd last line of his solution, he had the term: $$ \int_0^1 \! \sin(x^2) \, \mathrm{d} x. $$ and simply finished with leaving this part as $S(1)$.

However, in this question, I don't seem to have terms which I can choose as $u$ and $dv$?

Is anyone able to give me some direction?

Many thanks!

It's easier to do integration by parts here:

$$\int C(x)\mathrm dx=x\,C(x)-\int x\cos(x^2)\mathrm dx$$

Can you take it from here?
