You are using X for two different things in the same expression. Since you are using X in the limit, you need to use a different variable of integration. Such as

integral of sin((pi * T^2)/2) dT from 0 to X
ie,
∫(SIN((π*T^2/2)),T,0,X)

Even if your calculator allows it, using the same variable for two different meanings like this is considered improper in math. When a student writes something like this, I might not take off points, but I'd write something snarky like "I think you misspelled 't' :-)"
