tanx sin^2x capital sigma [0,2p]

That is neither an equation nor a question. What is capital sigma supposed to mean?

It usually means "sum of" in a mathematical series, but you have not written a series.

Is [0, 2p] supposed to be a domain [0, 2 pi] ?

Questions must be stated accurately to be understood.

the sigma was the E

and that questions that I posted is word by word what the question actually says which now makes me think there must be a typo

To evaluate the expression ∑[0,2π] tan(x) sin^2(x), we need to calculate the sum of the given expression for all values of x between 0 and 2π.

First, let's break down the expression ∑[0,2π] tan(x) sin^2(x):

∑ represents the summation symbol, indicating that we need to find the sum of the given expression.
[0, 2π] denotes the range of values for x. In this case, it is from 0 to 2π.

The expression itself is tan(x) sin^2(x).

To find the sum, we can use the following steps:

Step 1: Find the values of tan(x) sin^2(x) for each value of x in the given range.

Step 2: Add up all the values obtained in Step 1.

Let's break it down further:

Step 1: Evaluating tan(x) sin^2(x) for each value of x in the given range.

Start with x = 0:
tan(0) sin^2(0) = 0 * 0^2 = 0

Continue with other values of x within the range and calculate tan(x) sin^2(x) for each:

For x = π/4:
tan(π/4) sin^2(π/4) = 1 * (1/√2)^2 = 1/2

For x = π/2:
tan(π/2) sin^2(π/2) = ∞ * 1^2 = ∞ (since tan(π/2) is undefined)

For x = 3π/4:
tan(3π/4) sin^2(3π/4) = -1 * (1/√2)^2 = -1/2

Continue this process for all values of x within the given range.

Step 2: Add up all the values obtained in Step 1.

Once you have calculated tan(x) sin^2(x) for every value of x within the range, add up all those values.

For example, if we have calculated the following values:
0 + 1/2 + ∞ + (-1/2) + ...

We need to consider that the expression ∑[0,2π] covers the entire range from 0 to 2π. Thus, if there are any values approaching infinity (∞), the overall sum would be undefined.

Hence, depending on the specific values obtained in Step 1, the sum would be calculated by excluding any undefined terms (such as those approaching infinity) and adding up the remaining finite terms.
