Anh Nguyen's questions regarding indefinite integrals (integration by parts)

In summary, we used integration by parts and trigonometric identities to develop formulas for the integrals of $e^x\sin(x)$ and $e^x\cos(x)$. We then applied these formulas to solve the given problems involving integrals of the form $e^{2x}\sin(t)\cos(t)$ and $e^{2x}\sin^2(t)$.

Here are the questions:

I need help to solve following integrals problems?


How to solve these problems:

1) integral of -6e^2tsintcost dt

2) integral of 5e^2tsin^2t dt

3) integral of -e^2tcos^2t dt

I have posted a link there to this thread so the OP can see my work.

Hello Anh Nguyen,

Before we work the given problems, let's develop two formulas we can use.

First, let's consider:

\(\displaystyle I=\int e^{x}\sin(x)\,dx\)

Let's use integration by parts, where:

\(\displaystyle u=\sin(x)\,\therefore\,du=\cos(x)\,dx\)

\(\displaystyle dv=e^{x}\,dx\,\therefore\,v=e^x\)

Hence:

\(\displaystyle I=\sin(x)e^{x}-\int e^{x}\cos(x)\,dx\)

Let's use integration by parts again, where:

\(\displaystyle u=\cos(x)\,\therefore\,du=-\sin(x)\,dx\)

\(\displaystyle dv=e^{x}\,dx\,\therefore\,v=e^x\)

Hence:

\(\displaystyle I=\sin(x)e^{x}-\left(\cos(x)e^{x}+\int e^{x}\sin(x)\,dx \right)\)

\(\displaystyle I=e^{x}\left(\sin(x)-\cos(x) \right)-I\)

Add $I$ to both sides:

\(\displaystyle 2I=e^{x}\left(\sin(x)-\cos(x) \right)\)

Divide through by $2$ and append the constant of integration:

\(\displaystyle I=\frac{e^{x}}{2}\left(\sin(x)-\cos(x) \right)+C\)

Thus, we have:

(1) \(\displaystyle \int e^{x}\sin(x)\,dx=\frac{e^{x}}{2}\left(\sin(x)-\cos(x) \right)+C\)

Next, let's consider:

\(\displaystyle I=\int e^{x}\cos(x)\,dx\)

Above, we found:

\(\displaystyle I=\cos(x)e^{x}+\int e^{x}\sin(x)\,dx\)

Using (1), we may state:

\(\displaystyle I=\cos(x)e^{x}+\frac{e^{x}}{2}\left(\sin(x)-\cos(x) \right)+C\)

\(\displaystyle I=\frac{e^{x}}{2}\left(\sin(x)+\cos(x) \right)+C\)

Hence, we may state:

(2) \(\displaystyle \int e^{x}\cos(x)\,dx=\frac{e^{x}}{2}\left(\sin(x)+\cos(x) \right)+C\)

Now, armed with these two formulas, let's work the given problems.

1.) We are given to evaluate:

\(\displaystyle I=\int -6e^{2t}\sin(t)\cos(t)\,dt\)

Using the double-angle identity for sine, we may write:

\(\displaystyle I=-3\int e^{2t}\sin(2t)\,dt\)

Using the substitution \(\displaystyle w=2t\,\therefore\,dw-2\,dt\) we have:

\(\displaystyle I=-\frac{3}{2}\int e^{w}\sin(w)\,dw\)

Using (1), we obtain:

\(\displaystyle I=-\frac{3}{2}\left(\frac{e^{w}}{2}\left(\sin(w)-\cos(w) \right) \right)+C\)

\(\displaystyle I=\frac{3}{4}e^{w}\left(\cos(w)-\sin(w) \right)+C\)

Back-substituting for $w$ and $I$, we have:

\(\displaystyle \int -6e^{2t}\sin(t)\cos(t)\,dt=\frac{3}{4}e^{2t}\left(\cos(2t)-\sin(2t) \right)+C\)

2.) We are given to evaluate:

\(\displaystyle I=\int 5e^{2t}\sin^2(t)\,dt\)

Using a power-reduction identity for sine, we may write:

\(\displaystyle I=\frac{5}{2}\int e^{2t}\left(1-\cos(2t) \right)\,dt\)

Using the substitution \(\displaystyle w=2t\,\therefore\,dw-2\,dt\) we have:

\(\displaystyle I=\frac{5}{4}\int e^{w}\left(1-\cos(w) \right)\,dw\)

\(\displaystyle I=\frac{5}{4}\left(\int e^{w}\,dw-\int e^{w}\cos(w)\,dw \right)\)

Using (2), we may state:

\(\displaystyle I=\frac{5}{4}\left(e^{w}-\frac{e^{w}}{2}\left(\sin(w)+\cos(w) \right) \right)+C\)

\(\displaystyle I=\frac{5}{8}e^{w}\left(2-\sin(w)-\cos(w) \right)+C\)

Back-substituting for $w$ and $I$, we have:

\(\displaystyle \int 5e^{2t}\sin^2(t)\,dt=\frac{5}{8}e^{2t}\left(2-\sin(2t)-\cos(2t) \right)+C\)

3.) We are given to evaluate:

\(\displaystyle I=\int -e^{2t}\cos^2(t)\,dt=\int e^{2t}\left(\sin^2(t)-1 \right)\,dt=\int e^{2t}\sin^2(t)\,dt-\int e^{2t}\,dt\)

Using the result of problem 2.) we may write:

\(\displaystyle I=\frac{1}{8}e^{2t}\left(2-\sin(2t)-\cos(2t) \right)-\frac{1}{2}e^{2t}+C\)

And so we conclude:

\(\displaystyle \int -e^{2t}\cos^2(t)\,dt=-\frac{1}{8}e^{2t}\left(2+\sin(2t)+\cos(2t) \right)+C\)
 

FAQ: Anh Nguyen's questions regarding indefinite integrals (integration by parts)

What is integration by parts?

Integration by parts is a method used in calculus to find indefinite integrals of functions that cannot be integrated through basic techniques. It involves breaking down a complex integral into simpler parts and using the product rule of derivatives to solve it.

How is integration by parts used in real-world applications?

Integration by parts is used in various fields such as physics, engineering, economics, and statistics to solve problems involving integration. It is particularly useful in calculating areas, volumes, and work done in physics problems.

What is the formula for integration by parts?

The formula for integration by parts is ∫u dv = uv - ∫v du, where u and v are functions of x and dv and du are their respective derivatives.

Can any integral be solved using integration by parts?

No, not all integrals can be solved using integration by parts. It only works for integrals that can be expressed as the product of two functions, with one of the functions being differentiable and the other being integrable.

Are there any tips for using integration by parts effectively?

Yes, there are a few tips that can help you use integration by parts more effectively. These include choosing u and dv carefully, using the tabular method for repeated integrals, and considering alternate methods of integration if integration by parts becomes too complex.
