Hey there!!

A chicken has 1 head and 2 feet . A goat has 1 head and 4 feet

For heads, total = 40

Let us take the number of chickens as ' x ' and goats as ' y '

x + y = 40 ------------- ( 1 )

2x + 4y = 150 ----------- ( 2 )

Multiply the first equation with 2

2x + 2y = 80

2x + 4y = 150

Subtract the first equation from the first

2y = 70

y = 35

Number of goats = 35

substitute this in other equation

x + y = 40

x + 35 = 40

x = 5

Number of chickens are 4

Hope it helps!

To answer your question, this could be the possible answer and i hope you understand and interpret it correctly:
<span>[Integrate [0, 1/2] xcos(pi*x
let u=x so that du=dx
 and v=intgral cos (xpi)dx
        v=(1/pi)sin(pi*x)
 integration by parts
uv-itgral[0,1/2]vdu just plug ins
 (1/pi)sinpi*x]-(1/pi)itgrlsin(pi*x)dx from 0 to 1/2
(1/pi)x sinpi*x - (1/pi)[-(1/pi) cos pi*x] from 0 to 1/2
 =(1/2pi)+(1/pi^2)[cos pi*x/2-cos 0]
=1/2pi - 1/2pi^2
=(pi-2)/2pi^2 ans</span>
