Answer

$\int_{0}^{\pi/2} x~sin~x~dx \leq \frac{\pi^2}{8}$

Work Step by Step

According to Exercise 27: $\int_{0}^{\pi/2} x~dx = \frac{(\pi/2)^2-0^2}{2} = \frac{\pi^2}{8}$ On the interval $0 \leq x \leq \frac{\pi}{2}$: $x~sin~x \leq x$ Therefore, by Property 7: $\int_{0}^{\pi/2} x~sin~x~dx \leq \int_{0}^{\pi/2} x~dx = \frac{\pi^2}{8}$ $\int_{0}^{\pi/2} x~sin~x~dx \leq \frac{\pi^2}{8}$
