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:

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

Let's use integration by parts, where:

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

$$dv=e^{x}\,dx\,\therefore\,v=e^x$$

Hence:

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

Let's use integration by parts again, where:

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

$$dv=e^{x}\,dx\,\therefore\,v=e^x$$

Hence:

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

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

Add $I$ to both sides:

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

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

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

Thus, we have:

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

Next, let's consider:

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

Above, we found:

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

Using (1), we may state:

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

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

Hence, we may state:

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

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

1.) We are given to evaluate:

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

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

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

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

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

Using (1), we obtain:

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

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

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

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

2.) We are given to evaluate:

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

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

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

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

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

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

Using (2), we may state:

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

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

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

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

3.) We are given to evaluate:

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

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

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

And so we conclude:

$$\int -e^{2t}\cos^2(t)\,dt=-\frac{1}{8}e^{2t}\left(2+\sin(2t)+\cos(2t) \right)+C$$
 
Insights auto threads is broken atm, so I'm manually creating these for new Insight articles. In Dirac’s Principles of Quantum Mechanics published in 1930 he introduced a “convenient notation” he referred to as a “delta function” which he treated as a continuum analog to the discrete Kronecker delta. The Kronecker delta is simply the indexed components of the identity operator in matrix algebra Source: https://www.physicsforums.com/insights/what-exactly-is-diracs-delta-function/ by...
Fermat's Last Theorem has long been one of the most famous mathematical problems, and is now one of the most famous theorems. It simply states that the equation $$ a^n+b^n=c^n $$ has no solutions with positive integers if ##n>2.## It was named after Pierre de Fermat (1607-1665). The problem itself stems from the book Arithmetica by Diophantus of Alexandria. It gained popularity because Fermat noted in his copy "Cubum autem in duos cubos, aut quadratoquadratum in duos quadratoquadratos, et...
I'm interested to know whether the equation $$1 = 2 - \frac{1}{2 - \frac{1}{2 - \cdots}}$$ is true or not. It can be shown easily that if the continued fraction converges, it cannot converge to anything else than 1. It seems that if the continued fraction converges, the convergence is very slow. The apparent slowness of the convergence makes it difficult to estimate the presence of true convergence numerically. At the moment I don't know whether this converges or not.
