Step 1: Recognize that the integrand x sin(x) cos(x) can be simplified using a trigonometric identity. Recall that sin(x) cos(x) = (1/2) sin(2x). Substitute this identity into the integral to rewrite it as ∫_0^π x (1/2) sin(2x) dx.
Step 2: Factor out the constant (1/2) from the integral. The integral becomes (1/2) ∫_0^π x sin(2x) dx.
Step 3: Use integration by parts to solve the integral ∫ x sin(2x) dx. Recall the formula for integration by parts: ∫ u dv = uv - ∫ v du. Choose u = x (which simplifies upon differentiation) and dv = sin(2x) dx (which simplifies upon integration).
Step 4: Compute du and v. Differentiate u = x to get du = dx. Integrate dv = sin(2x) dx to get v = -(1/2) cos(2x). Substitute these into the integration by parts formula.
Step 5: After applying integration by parts, evaluate the resulting expression at the limits of integration (0 to π). Simplify the terms to find the final result.
