Some one please show me how to do this problem below
Integral of e^x cos(x) dx
how to I integrate that?
thanks

Try Integration by parts

[tex]\int u dv = uv -\int v du[/tex]

try using [tex]u = e^x[/tex] and [tex]dv = \cos (x) dx[/tex]

Your book will have this example (or one nearly identical to it) perfored step by step.
 
[tex]u = e^x \ dv = cos(x) dx[/tex]
[tex]du = e^x dx \ v = sin(x)[/tex]

[tex]\int e^x cos(x) dx = e^x sin(x) - \int sin(x) e^x dx[/tex]

[tex]u = e^x \ dv = sin(x) dx[/tex]
[tex]du = e^x dx \ v = -cos(x) dx[/tex]
[tex]\int e^x cos(x) dx = e^x sin(x) - (-e^x cos(x) + \int e^x cos(x) dx)[/tex]
[tex]= e^x sin(x) + e^x cos(x) - \int e^x cos(x) dx[/tex]
[tex]\int e^x cos(x) dx + \int e^x cos(x) = e^x (sin(x) + cos(x))[/tex]
[tex]2 \int e^x cos(x) dx = e^x(sin(x) + cos(x))[/tex]
[tex]\int e^x cos(x) dx = 1/2 e^x (sin(x) + cos(x))[/tex] there you go intergration by parts follow
[tex]u v - \int v du[/tex]
