$2int_{0}^{1} cos(pi x)sin(mpi x)dx = frac{2m(cos(mpi)+1)}{pi (m^2-1)}$ when $m ge 2 $

$begingroup$


$$2int_{0}^{1} cos(pi x)sin(mpi x)dx = frac{2m(cos(mpi)+1)}{pi (m^2-1)},; mge2$$



I can't seem to be able to prove this.



I have tried using the identity $sin(a)cos(b) = 1/2 (sin(a-b)+sin(a+b))$ to get $$int_{0}^{1} cos(pi x)sin(mpi x)dx = frac{1}{2} int_{0}^{1} sin((m-1)pi x) + sin((m+1)pi x) dx$$ and then solving but am unable to reproduce the solution.

Your method gives $int_0^1 (sin (m + 1)pi x+sin (m -1)pi x)dx=frac{-1}{pi}bigg(frac{cos (m+1)pi -1}{m+1}+frac{cos (m-1)pi -1}{m-1}bigg)$. As the cosines are both $-cos mpi$, this simplifies to $frac{2m (cos mpi +1)}{pi (m^2-1)}$. As a sanity check, let's take $m=2$, so my claim is that the answer is $frac{8}{3pi}$. Indeed $$2int_0^1cos pi xsin 2pi x dx=2int_0^1 2sin pi xcos^2 pi x dx,$$which by $u=cospi x$ gives $$int_{-1}^1frac{4}{pi}u^2 du=frac{8}{3pi}.$$
