$\int(\frac{1}{\sqrt{x}})\sin(\frac{1}{x}) dx$
1 Answer
No, it can not be written in terms of elementary functions. Indeed
\[\int \frac{1}{\sqrt{x}}\sin(\frac{1}{x})dx=2\sin\left(\dfrac{1}{x}\right)\sqrt{x}-2^\frac{3}{2}\sqrt{{\pi}}\operatorname{G}\left(\dfrac{\sqrt{2}}{\sqrt{{\pi}}\sqrt{x}}\right)+C,\]
where $G$ is the Fresnel integral
\[G(u)=\int \cos (\frac{\pi u^2}{2})du.\]

Oh okay thanks for the answer. But would I be able to come to this solution on paper within reasonable time, or is it something that requires the aid of an advanced calculator

Yes, you just need to do an integration by parts and some basic change of variables. I suggest you to use the first website I mentioned above. It will show you the computations.
