Evaluating an integral of an exponential function
the integral is: and according to mathematica, it should evaluate to be: . So it looks like some sort of Gaussian integral, but I'm not sure how to get there. I tried turning the cos function into an exponential as well: however, I don't think this helps the issue much.- dykuma

The range for y if t>=10 is [-4, 0].
From integration by parts, and using y(10) = 0, I get the equation ##2e^{3t-30} = \frac{|y-2|}{|y+1|}.## Let ##f(t) = 2e^{3t-30}##. Since it's for t>10, f(10) = 2, and we have ##2=\frac{|y-2|}{|y+1|}##. Depending on the sign I choose to use, I get either that y=-4 or y =0. Since ##t: 10...- JessicaHelena
