Compute
∫∞0sin4(x)x2 dx and ∫∞0sin(ax)cos(bx)x dx.
For the first integral I tried letting u=sin4x and dv=1x2 dx, which simplified to ∫∞04sin3(x)cos(x)x dx and applying integration by parts again with u=sin3(x)cos(x) and dv=1x, I got
11[sin3(x)cos(x)ln(x)]|∞0−∫∞0ln(x)[3sin2(2x)−sin4(x)] dx
The only problem is that it appears that the term [sin3(x)cos(x)ln(x)]|∞0 evaluates to infinity and neither the 3∫∞0ln(x)sin2(2x) dx term nor the 3∫∞0ln(x)sin4(x) dx converges.This looks like a dead end but the other choice of u and dv looks even worse, so I'm not sure how to proceed.
For the second integral I tried u=sin(ax)cos(bx) and dv=1x, which gives me [sin(ax)cos(bx)ln(x)]|∞0+∫∞0b−a2ln(x)cos((a−b)x) dx−∫∞0b+a2ln(x)cos((a+b)x) dx, which also looks like a dead end because all three of the terms go to infinity.
Any help is appreciated.
Answer
For the first one, we have
∫∞0sin4(x)x2dx=∫∞0sin2(x)(1−cos2(x))x2dx=∫∞0sin2(x)x2dx−∫∞0sin2(x)cos2(x)x2dx=∫∞0sinc2(x)dx−∫∞0sin2(2x)(2x)2dx=∫∞0sinc2(x)dx−12∫∞0sinc2(x)dx=12∫∞0sinc2(x)dx=π4
From here, we have the value of ∫∞0sincm(x)dx
For the second one, we have
sin(ax)cos(bx)=sin((a+b)x)+sin((a−b)x)2
We hence have
12∫∞0sin((a+b)x)xdx+12∫∞0sin((a−b)x)xdx={π2 if a>bπ4 if a=b0 if a<b
