Show answer and solution
Answer:(A) −151
Use the Maclaurin expansion sinu=u−6u3+⋯ with u=t, giving sint=t1/2−6t3/2+O(t5/2). Integrating term by term from 0 to x2: ∫0x2sintdt=32t3/2−61⋅52t5/2+⋯=32x3−151x5+O(x7). Subtracting 32x3 leaves −151x5+O(x7), and dividing by x5 and letting x→0+ gives −151. The sign is negative because sinu<u; a common slip is to forget the factor 52 from integrating t3/2, which yields −301-type values.
