Express x 2 c o s 2 x as x 2 ( 2 1 + c o s 2 x ) first. Upon integration of 2 1 x 2 , we have 2 1 ( 3 x 3 ) = 6 x 3 which gives us 6 π 3 upon substitution of 0 and π .
Now to intergrate 2 1 x 2 c o s 2 x , we let 2 1 x 2 be u and d x d v be c o s 2 x . As such, d x d u = x while v = 2 s i n 2 x and we have 2 1 x 2 ( 2 s i n 2 x ) - the antiderivative of x ( 2 s i n 2 x ) .
It can be seen that we need to perform integration by parts a second time, but thank goodness 2 1 x 2 ( 2 s i n 2 x ) will give us 0 when we substitute 0 and π into it.
To integrate − x ( 2 s i n 2 x ) , we let u = x and d x d v be 2 − s i n 2 x such that d x d u = 1 while v = 2 1 2 c o s 2 x = 4 c o s 2 x and we have x ( 4 c o s 2 x ) - the antiderivative of ( 1 ) ( 4 c o s 2 x ) = x ( 4 c o s 2 x ) − 4 1 ( 2 s i n 2 x ) which simplifies to 4 π upon substitution.
So we have 6 π 3 + 4 π where a = 3 , b = 6 and c = 4 . So a b c = 7 2 .
