    E^x Integrate
AI Thread Summary
To integrate e^x cos(x) dx, use integration by parts with u = e^x and dv = cos(x) dx. This leads to the equation ∫ e^x cos(x) dx = e^x sin(x) - ∫ e^x sin(x) dx. Applying integration by parts again on the remaining integral results in the equation ∫ e^x cos(x) dx + ∫ e^x cos(x) dx = e^x (sin(x) + cos(x)). Simplifying gives 2 ∫ e^x cos(x) dx = e^x (sin(x) + cos(x)), leading to the final result of ∫ e^x cos(x) dx = 1/2 e^x (sin(x) + cos(x)). This method effectively demonstrates the application of integration by parts.

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

\int u dv = uv -\int v du

try using u = e^x and dv = \cos (x) dx

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

\int e^x cos(x) dx = e^x sin(x) - \int sin(x) e^x dx

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

thanks so much
 
Kindly see the attached pdf. My attempt to solve it, is in it. I'm wondering if my solution is right. My idea is this: At any point of time, the ball may be assumed to be at an incline which is at an angle of θ(kindly see both the pics in the pdf file). The value of θ will continuously change and so will the value of friction. I'm not able to figure out, why my solution is wrong, if it is wrong .
TL;DR Summary: I came across this question from a Sri Lankan A-level textbook. Question - An ice cube with a length of 10 cm is immersed in water at 0 °C. An observer observes the ice cube from the water, and it seems to be 7.75 cm long. If the refractive index of water is 4/3, find the height of the ice cube immersed in the water. I could not understand how the apparent height of the ice cube in the water depends on the height of the ice cube immersed in the water. Does anyone have an...
