Question
Evaluate : $\int_0^\pi x \cdot \sin ^2 x \cdot d x$

Answer

$
\begin{aligned}
& \text { Consider, I } \quad=\int_0^\pi x \cdot \sin ^2 x \cdot d x \ldots \\
& \mathrm{I}=\int_0^\pi(\pi-x) \cdot[\sin (\pi-x)]^2 x \cdot d x \\
& \mathrm{I}=\int_0^\pi(\pi-x) \cdot \sin ^2 x \cdot d x \\
& \mathrm{I}=\int_0^\pi \pi \cdot \sin ^2 x \cdot d x-\int_0^\pi x \cdot \sin ^2 x \cdot d x \\
& \mathrm{I}=\pi \cdot \int_0^\pi \frac{1}{2}(1-\cos 2 x) \cdot d x-\mathrm{I} \ldots \text { by }(\mathrm{i}) \\
& \mathrm{I}+\mathrm{I}=\frac{\pi}{2} \int_0^\pi(1-\cos 2 x) \cdot d x \\
& 2 \mathrm{I}=\frac{\pi}{2}\left[x-\sin 2 x \cdot \frac{1}{2}\right]_0^\pi \\
& I=\frac{\pi}{4}\left[\left(\pi-\frac{1}{2} \sin 2 \pi\right)-\left(0-\frac{1}{2} \sin 0\right)\right] \\
& =\frac{\pi}{4}[\pi] \quad \because \sin 0=0 ; \sin 2 \pi=0 \\
& =\frac{\pi^2}{4} \\
& \therefore \int_0^\pi x^2 \cdot \sin ^2 x \cdot d x=\frac{\pi^2}{4} \\
\end{aligned}
