That was a really wonderful method,,, the standard method is this http://bado-shanai.net/The%20Table%20of%20Integrals/intRemovSing.htm
but yours is much much better and simple
Awesome method. well done
It is wonderful!!! can't even imagine of this!
Isn't this Feynman's method?
Yes it is.
This all easy, I = ∫ 0 ∞ x sin ( 1 7 2 9 x ) d x
Now, let y = 1 7 2 9 x . So, d x = 1 7 2 9 d y and x 1 = y 1 7 2 9
So I = ∫ 0 ∞ x sin ( 1 7 2 9 x ) d x = ∫ 0 ∞ y 1 7 2 9 sin y 1 7 2 9 d y = ∫ 0 ∞ y sin y d y
Now use Dirichlet Integral ∫ 0 ∞ ω sin ω d ω = 2 π
So I = ∫ 0 ∞ x sin ( 1 7 2 9 x ) d x = 2 π
Proof for Dirichlet Integral, I ( a , x ) d a d I ⇒ I Now, I ( ∞ , x ) ⇒ 0 ⇒ c ∴ ∫ 0 ∞ ω sin ω d ω = ∫ 0 ∞ e − a x x sin x d x = ∫ 0 ∞ ∂ a ∂ e − a x x sin x d x = − ℑ ∫ 0 ∞ ∂ a ∂ e − a x e i x d x = ℑ − a + i 1 = ℑ a 2 + 1 − a − i = a 2 + 1 − 1 = ∫ a 2 + 1 − 1 = − tan − 1 a + c = 0 = − tan − 1 ( ∞ ) + c = 2 π = I ( 0 , x ) = 2 π
Of course, this problem is all about ∫ x sin x d x , and knowing ways of approaching it.
Dirichlet Integral method is nice

Going by the title and the use of 1729 as the co-efficient of x, people might be tempted to assign a random variable for 1729 and differentiate with respect to that (I was too.). But that won't help us as we end up getting indeterminate values to deal with in the end. The trick is to cancel out the 'x' in the denominator and to do it in such a way that in the end the bounds given won't make us regret approaching it that way. This is my approach: Let us call 1729 as 'a' and let b be any number. I ( b ) = ∫ 0 ∞ x s i n ( a x ) e − b x d x D i f f e r e n t i a t e w i t h r e s p e c t t o b I ′ ( b ) = ∫ 0 ∞ − s i n ( a x ) e − b x d x s i n ( a x ) c a n b e w r i t t e n a s I m { e i a x } ( I m a g i n a r y p a r t o f e i a x ) I ′ ( b ) = I m { ∫ 0 ∞ − e − ( b − i a ) x d x } I ′ ( b ) = I m { b − i a 1 [ e ( b − i a ) ( − ∞ ) − e ( b − i a ) ( 0 ) ] } I ′ ( b ) = I m { b − i a − 1 } M u l t i p l y i n g a n d d i v i d i n g b y ( b + i a ) w e g e t : I ′ ( b ) = I m { b 2 + a 2 − b − i a } T a k i n g o n l y t h e i m a g i n a r y p a r t , w e g e t I ′ ( b ) = b 2 + a 2 − a I n t e g r a t i n g b o t h s i d e s w i t h r e s p e c t t o b I ( b ) = ∫ b 2 + a 2 − a d b I ( b ) = − t a n − 1 ( a b ) + c S i n c e I ( ∞ ) = 0 c = 2 π I n s e r t i n g b = 0 a n d a = 1 7 2 9 b a c k i n t o t h e e q u a t i o n : I ( 0 ) = − t a n − 1 ( 1 7 2 9 0 ) + 2 π = 2 π Note: I'm still familiarizing myself with this new method of differentiating under the integral. If I've gone wrong somewhere, please do point it out.
