009C Sample Final 2, Problem 6

(a) Express the indefinite integral  $\int \sin(x^{2})~dx$  as a power series.

(b) Express the definite integral  $\int _{0}^{1}\sin(x^{2})~dx$  as a number series.

ExpandFoundations:
What is the power series of  $\sin x?$
The power series of  $\sin x$  is   $\sum _{n=0}^{\infty }{\frac {(-1)^{n}x^{2n+1}}{(2n+1)!}}.$

Solution:

(a)

ExpandStep 1:
The power series of  $\sin x$  is   $\sum _{n=0}^{\infty }{\frac {(-1)^{n}x^{2n+1}}{(2n+1)!}}.$
So, the power series of  $\sin(x^{2})$   is
${\begin{array}{rcl}\displaystyle {\sin(x^{2})}&=&\displaystyle {\sum _{n=0}^{\infty }{\frac {(-1)^{n}(x^{2})^{2n+1}}{(2n+1)!}}}\\&&\\&=&\displaystyle {\sum _{n=0}^{\infty }{\frac {(-1)^{n}x^{4n+2}}{(2n+1)!}}.}\end{array}}$

ExpandStep 2:
Now, to express the indefinite integral as a power series, we have
${\begin{array}{rcl}\displaystyle {\int \sin(x^{2})~dx}&=&\displaystyle {\int \sum _{n=0}^{\infty }{\frac {(-1)^{n}x^{4n+2}}{(2n+1)!}}~dx}\\&&\\&=&\displaystyle {\sum _{n=0}^{\infty }\int {\frac {(-1)^{n}x^{4n+2}}{(2n+1)!}}~dx}\\&&\\&=&\displaystyle {\sum _{n=0}^{\infty }{\frac {(-1)^{n}x^{4n+3}}{(4n+3)(2n+1)!}}.}\end{array}}$

(b)

ExpandFinal Answer:
(a)     $\sum _{n=0}^{\infty }{\frac {(-1)^{n}x^{4n+3}}{(4n+3)(2n+1)!}}$
