Question
Evaluate the following definite integrals:
$\int_{0}^\limits{\frac{\pi}{2}}\text{x}^2\cos2\text{x}\text{ dx}$

Answer

Let $\text{I}=\int_{0}^\limits{\frac{\pi}{2}}\text{x}^2\cos2\text{x}\text{ dx}$ Then,
Integrating by parts
$\text{I}=\Big[\text{x}^2\frac{\sin2\text{x}}{2}\Big]^{\frac{\pi}{2}}_0-\int_{0}^\limits{\frac{\pi}{2}}2\text{x}\frac{\sin2\text{x}}{2}\text{ dx}$
$\Rightarrow\text{I}=\Big[\text{x}^2\frac{\sin2\text{x}}{2}\Big]^{\frac{\pi}{2}}_0-\Big[-\text{x}\frac{\cos2\text{x}}{2}\Big]^{\frac{\pi}{2}}_0+\int_{0}^\limits{\frac{\pi}{2}}-1\frac{\cos2\text{x}}{2}\text{ dx}$
$\Rightarrow\text{I}=\Big[\text{x}^2\frac{\sin2\text{x}}{2}\Big]^{\frac{\pi}{2}}_0-\Big[-\text{x}\frac{\cos2\text{x}}{2}\Big]^{\frac{\pi}{2}}_0-\Big[\frac{\sin2\text{x}}{4}\Big]^{\frac{\pi}{2}}_0$
$\Rightarrow\text{I}=0-\frac{\pi}{4}-0$
$\Rightarrow\text{I}=-\frac{\pi}{4}$
