$C[-\pi, \pi], f(x)=x$ and $g(x)= \cos 2x$ I am having a difficulties integrating this function. I dont know where I am messing up. Please help me :D
Find the Orthogonal Projection of f onto g. Use the inner product in C[a,b]

Here are three approaches for calculating $\int_{-\pi}^\pi x\cos 2x$. These are only hints, as this is a homework problem:
- Use integration by parts, by defining $f(x)=x,\ g(x)=\cos 2x$.
- Use the fact that the integrand is an odd function of $x$. What is the integral of an odd function on a segment that is symmetric around $0$?
- Ask Wolfram Alpha and click "show steps".
