If this integral has an elementary form, then there must be a relationship between p,q and r. After some trial and error, you would get that relationship.
That... doesn't necessarily have to be true, but my intuition agrees with that.

Formally, however, I do not.

Just responding to an earlier integral based on the infinite expansion for e.

Good try!
Unfortunately, there's a mistake in this piece of integral.😣
Fortunately, it doesn't affect the final answer.:p
yeah I kinda realized that while going to sleep but I have no idea how to integrate sinx/x. so I kinda just went meh

It should be well known enough that

and

(can be derived by integration by parts twice)

This is how you may make the life easier.




Overall speaking, the integral requires log rule, trig rule, 2 substitutions, 3 times integration by parts and algebraic manipulations...nice practice for MX2.😈

There's no closed form. Take a look at the upper and lower limits.:cool:

Just spent some time to type my solution. If you see any typo, please let me know.

It is assumed that readers can derive:



Let's look at this integral first. I've added DI table for easier understanding.












Let's go back to the original integral.

Using similar technique, it should be straight-forward to show that :cool:
