The answer is 9 16 1 4 π 2
Let f : x x cos 2 ( π x ) and I = 0 3 / 2 f ( x ) d x . The function f is continuous on [ 0 ; 3 / 2 ] so I there exist and is finite.
Note that
x R : cos 2 ( π x ) = 1 2 ( cos ( 2 π x ) + 1 ) .
Then,
x cos 2 ( π x ) d x = 1 2 x ( cos ( 2 π x ) + 1 ) d x = 1 2 x cos 2 π x d x + 1 2 d x = I B P x sin 2 π x 4 π 1 4 π sin 2 π x d x + x 2 4 = t 2 π x x sin 2 π x 4 π 1 8 π 2 sin t d t + x 2 4 = cos t 8 π 2 + x sin 2 π x 4 π + x 2 4 + C = 2 π x ( π x + sin ( 2 π x ) ) + cos ( 2 π x ) 8 π 2 + C
Therefore,
0 3 / 2 x cos 2 ( π x ) d x = 9 16 1 4 π 2 0.537 .

You could try to use c o s 2 ( π x ) = c o s ( 2 π x ) + 1 2 before applying integration by parts.
