\( \int _ { 2 } ^ { 5 } 15 x ^ { 2 } * \cos ( 40 x ) d x \)

To tackle the integral \( \int _ { 2 } ^ { 5 } 15 x ^ { 2 } \cos ( 40 x ) d x \), we can employ integration by parts. Here, we can let \( u = 15x^2 \) and \( dv = \cos(40x)dx \). This will allow us to differentiate \( u \) and integrate \( dv \) to find \( du \) and \( v \), respectively. Perform the integration and differentiation: - \( du = 30x dx \) - \( v = \frac{1}{40}\sin(40x) \) Using integration by parts, we have: \[ \int u \, dv = uv - \int v \, du \] Substituting in our expressions, we can evaluate: \[ \int 15x^2 \cos(40x) \, dx = 15x^2 \left(\frac{1}{40}\sin(40x)\right) - \int \left(\frac{1}{40}\sin(40x)\right)(30x) \, dx \] Now, compute the required integrals and evaluate with respect to the limits from 2 to 5. Don’t forget to analyze the resulting sine and/or cosine function values at the limits to finalize your answer. This integral is likely to yield a result that may require careful numerical evaluation or further symbolic computations dependent on the stages of the integration.
