Task:
Find a function $f$ such that $f(2) = -1$ and $f'(x) = \frac {sin(x)} {x}$

$$\int \frac {sin(x)} {x} dx = ? + C$$

Research:
After searching online for the value of the indefinite integral $\int \frac {sin(x)} {x} dx$, I have discovered it involves the power series (which we have not yet learned).
Therefore, I believe there is another way to solve the problem above.

Any hints to solving the integral (without the power series) or another method to solve the problem is appreciated.

    The integral you are looking for is a special function, so there is not much to be done. – 2017-01-22

The "correct" answer to this ubiquitous question in a typical calculus course is $$f(x) = \int_2^x \frac{\sin(t)}{t}dt - 1.$$ It's designed to make sure you understand the fundamental theorem of calculus and integration limits, not to test your integration skills.

(As others have commented, $\sin(x)/x$ has no elementary antiderivative.)

    I would not have thought of this. This must be the correct answer – the first question was already hinting at this answer (by having the integral from 2 to x of another function). – 2017-01-22

The sine integral function is defined as

$$\mathrm {Si}(z)=\int^z_0 \frac {\sin x}{x}dx$$
