Question
Finding Area Find the area of the region enclosed by the $x$ -axis and the curve $y=x \sin x$ for(a) $0 \leq x \leq \pi$ (b) $\pi \leq x \leq 2 \pi$ (c) $0 \leq x \leq 2 \pi$
Step 1
We can do this by using integration by parts. Let $u = x$ and $dv = \sin x \, dx$. Then $du = dx$ and $v = -\cos x$. Show more…
