Solution:

  1. The graph of y=2sinx for π/2x3π/2 is given in figure. From the graph, it is clear that

[2sinx]=2, if x=π/21, if π/2<x5π/60, if 5π/6<xπ1, if π<x7π/62, if 7π/6<x3π/2

Therefore, π/23π/2[2sinx]dx

=π/25π/6dx+5π/6π0dx+π7π/6(1)dx+7π/63π/2(2)dx

=[x]π/25π/6+[x]π7π/6+[2x]7π/63π/2

=5π6π2+7π6+π+23π2+27π6

=π5612+π176+π733

=π536+π16+π793=π/2
