put t = 1/x ⇒ dt = -1/x2 as t = π/2 and π
∫1/π2/π [sin(1/x)] / x² dx
To simplify the integral, we use the substitution method.
Step 1 : Let u = 1/x
du/dx = -1/x²
dx = -1/u² dx
Step 2: Change the Limits of Integration
We need to adjust the limits of integration to match our substitution.
- When x = 1/π:
u = 1 / (1/π) = π
- When x = 2/π:
u = 1 / (2/π) = π/2
Step 3: Substitute and Simplify the Integral
Substitute u and dx into the integral:
∫1/π2/π [sin(1/x)] / x² dx = ∫ππ/2 sin(u) * (-1/u²) du
Notice the negative sign. To simplify, reverse the limits of integration and remove the negative sign:
= ∫π/2π sin(u) du
Step 4: Integrate
Integrate sin(u) with respect to u:
∫ sin(u) du = -cos(u) + C
Apply the definite integral:
[ -cos(u) ]π/2π = [ -cos(π) ] - [ -cos(π/2) ]
Step 5: Compute the Values
Evaluate the cosine values:
Substitute these values into the expression:
= [ -(-1) ] - [ -0 ] = 1 - 0 = 1
Final Answer
∫1/π2/π [sin(1/x)] / x² dx = 1
