15a is non-exponential because the variable is not in the exponent
Instead, this is a polynomial function. It can also be called a power function as power functions are in the form a*x^b where 'a' and 'b' are fixed numbers.
Hello,
f(1)=160
f(2)=160*(-2)
f(3)=160*(-2)²
f(4)=160*(-2)^3=-1280
f(n)=160*(-2)^(n-1)
Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:







Replace x with π/2 - x to get the equivalent integral

but the integrand is even, so this is really just

Substitute x = 1/2 arccot(u/2), which transforms the integral to

There are lots of ways to compute this. What I did was to consider the complex contour integral

where γ is a semicircle in the complex plane with its diameter joining (-R, 0) and (R, 0) on the real axis. A bound for the integral over the arc of the circle is estimated to be

which vanishes as R goes to ∞. Then by the residue theorem, we have in the limit

and it follows that
