[ I = -\frac{1}{2xThe integral we want to evaluate is:

We can use the identity {(\sinCi^2(x) = \frac{1 -}(x \cos))( is2 the cosinex integral)} function{2.

In}\ summary,) to rewrite the integral:

[ the integralI of \ = (\int \fracfrac{{\sin^2sin^(x2(x)})}{{x^x^22})} , does dx not have a simple closed = \int form in terms of elementary functions , but it canfrac{1 be expressed in terms of - special \ functions.cos(2x)}{2x^2} , dx ]

This can be split into two separate integrals:

[ I = \frac{1}{2} \int \frac{1}{x^2} , dx - \frac{1}{2} \int \frac{\cos(2x)}{x^2} , dx ]

The first integral, (\int \frac{1}{x^2} , dx), is straightforward:

[ \int \frac{1}{x^2} , dx = -\frac{1}{x} + C_1 ]

The second integral, (\int \frac{\cos(2x)}{x^2} , dx), does not have a simple elementary form, but it can be expressed in terms of the Sine Integral function, ( \text{Si}(x) ).

Thus, we can write:

[ I = -\frac{1}{2x} - \frac{1}{2} \int \frac{\cos(2x)}{x^2} , dx + C ]

The integral (\int \frac{\cos(2x)}{x^2} , dx) can be evaluated using integration by parts or recognized as a known integral, leading to:

[ \int \frac{\cos(2x)}{x^2} , dx = -\frac{\sin(2x)}{x} + 2 \int \frac{\sin(2x)}{x} , dx ]

The integral (\int \frac{\sin(2x)}{x} , dx) is related to the Sine Integral function, (\text{Si}(x)).

Thus, the final result for the integral (\int \frac{\sin^2(x)}{x^2} , dx) can be expressed as:

[ I = -\frac{1}{2x} - \frac{1}{4} \sin(2x) + \frac{1}{2} \text{Si}(2x) + C ]

In summary, the integral of (\frac{\sin^2(x)}{x^2}) can be expressed in terms of elementary functions and the Sine Integral function.
