Answer

$$\int x\sin\frac{x}{2}dx=-2x\cos\frac{x}{2}+4\sin\frac{x}{2}+C$$

Work Step by Step

$$A=\int x\sin\frac{x}{2}dx$$ Take $u=x$ and $dv=\sin\frac{x}{2}dx$ We then have $du=dx$ and $v=-2\cos\frac{x}{2}$ Apply the formula $\int udv= uv-\int vdu$, we have $$A=x\times\Big(-2\cos\frac{x}{2}\Big)-\int-2\cos\frac{x}{2}dx$$ $$A=-2x\cos\frac{x}{2}+2\int\cos\frac{x}{2}dx$$ $$A=-2x\cos\frac{x}{2}+2\Big(2\sin\frac{x}{2}\Big)+C$$ $$A=-2x\cos\frac{x}{2}+4\sin\frac{x}{2}+C$$
