What step are you on?
1. I don't know where to begin.
2. I have begun but got stuck midway.
3. I got an answer but I was told that it's wrong.
4. I got an answer and would like my work checked.
5. I have a question about someone else's work/solution.
6. I have completed the problem and don't need help anymore. Thank you.
7. None of the above
Just add 1 to this expression inside the integral and check the derivative of x cos(x). Then integration by parts solves it all.
Well, that is not that straightforward, but finding the derivative of (x cos(x))/(1+x sin(x)) solves it
@jagged venture
how did you exactly come up with this expression?
First, I remember this or similar integral was already asked here recently. So, I knew what it is about. Then this square in the denominator means that it should be something of the type A/(1+x*sin(x)). Then just try some obvious functions for A, such as sin, cos, x sin, x cos.
