Assume that sin(x) equals its Maclaurin series for all x.

Use the Maclaurin series for sin(4 x^2) to evaluate the integral

int sin(4x^2)dx form 0-.62

Your answer will be an infinite series. Use the first two terms to estimate its value.

i need an answer please

  1. The Maclaurin series for sin(x) is

    ∞

    ∑ (-1)^n x^(2n+1) / (2n+1)!

    n=0

    Just replace x by 4x² to get the Maclaurin series for sin(4x²):

    ∞

    ∑ (-1)^n (4x²)^(2n+1) / (2n+1)!

    n=0

    which simplifies to

    ∞

    ∑ (-1)^n [4^(2n+1)][x^(4n+2)] / (2n+1)!

    n=0

    The integral of sin(4x²) equals the integral of this sum. Assuming that interchanging summation and integration is legitimate here (which it is), the integral of sin(4x²) is given by

    ∞

    ∑ ∫ {(-1)^n [4^(2n+1)][x^(4n+2)] / (2n+1)!} dx

    n=0

    which equals

    ∞

    ∑ (-1)^n [4^(2n+1)][x^(4n+3)] /[(4n + 3) (2n+1)!]

    n=0

    For the definite integral from 0 to 0.62, the value is

    ∞

    ∑ (-1)^n [4^(2n+1)][0.62^(4n+3)] /[(4n + 3) (2n+1)!]

    n=0

    since the infinite sum, evaluated at 0, is 0.

    Using only the first two terms.

    0.62

    ∫ sin(4x²) dx ≈

    0

    0.62

    ∫ (4x² - (32x^6)/3) dx

    0

    = (4/3)x³ - (32/21) x^7 (evaluated at 0 and 0.62)

    ≈ 0.264
