Calculating Integrals and Exponentials: Solving Tricky Equations

[don23]

ok, first what is e^t times e^-t?
and can anyone help with this one:

the integral from 0 to pi of (sinti+costj+tk)?
is it -costi + sintj +(t^2/2)k?

thank you!

Well e^-t x e^t is same as e^t-t so It should be e^0=1.

I haven't started on Integrals yet.

I believe

e^t e^{ - t} = e^0 = 1

and

\int\limits_0^\pi {\left( {i\sin t + j\cos t + kt} \right)dt} = 2i + k\frac{{\pi ^2 }}{2}
Just remember to take the limits of the integral.
You have antiderivative, now apply the algebra

\int\limits_0^\pi {\left( {i\sin t + j\cos t + kt} \right)dt} = 2i + k\frac{{\pi ^2 }}{2} + C

bomba923, I think you've made a mistake here,
First, I think the question reads:
\int_0 ^ \pi (\sin (it) + \cos (jt) + kt) dt
And second, where does the little 'C' come from?
-------------------

is it -costi + sintj +(t^2/2)k?

Nope, it isn't.
In your post, you didn't state the variable of integration. So I assume it is dt.
So:
\int (\sin (it) + \cos (jt) + kt) dt = \int \sin (it) dt + \int \cos (jt) dt + \int kt dt
= \int \frac{1}{i} \sin (it) d(it) + \int \frac{1}{j} \cos (jt) d(jt) + k \int t dt
= \frac{1}{i} \int \sin (it) d(it) + \frac{1}{j} \int \cos (jt) d(jt) + k \int t dt = ...
Can you go from here?
Viet Dao,

First, I think the question reads:
\int_0 ^ \pi (\sin (it) + \cos (jt) + kt) dt

You have confused me here.

I thought the question asked:
\int_0 ^ \pi ((\sin t)i + (\cos t)j + (t)k) dt

My answer is
i + j + \frac{{\pi ^2 }}{2}k

 

[VietDao29]

You have confused me here.

I thought the question asked:
\int_0 ^ \pi ((\sin t)i + (\cos t)j + (t)k) dt

If I am asking some question like that, I am going to put the i, and j in front of the cos and sin functions.
Something like this:
i sint + j cost + kt.

My answer is
i + j + \frac{{\pi ^2 }}{2}k

And even if the question reads like this:
\int_0 ^ \pi ((\sin t)i + (\cos t)j + (t)k) dt
That is still not the correct answer.

EDIT:
If the question happens to be:
int (i sint + j cost + kt) dt
You can use bomba923's suggestion. You should omit the constant of integration 'C' in his answer.
Viet Dao,

Ok, but I learned to put i, j and k at the end when I did vectors...

I did it again and got the same answer. Where does 2i come from?


EDIT
How stupid of me, I had pi/2 in my head instead of pi.

Certainly anyone taking calculus should have learned long ago that a^xb^x= a^x+y. In particular, a^xa^-x= a⁰= 1. The fact that a= e is irrelevant.

Yes, the original post's "integral from 0 to pi of (sinti+costj+tk)" should have been written
\int_0^{\pi}{(sin t)i+ (cos t)j+ (t)k} dt[/itex]<br /> to distinguish it form \int_0^{\pi}{sin ti+ cos tj+ tk} dt[/itex] but I think the &amp;quot;i, j, k&amp;quot; suggested vectors rather than numbers.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt; don23, It is true that&lt;br /&gt; \int {(sin t)i+ (cos t)j+ (t)k}dt= -cos(t)i+ sin(t)j+ (\frac{1}{2}t^2+ C&lt;br /&gt; but you forgot to evaluate it between 0 and \pi.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt; (-cos \pi)i+ (sin /pi)j+ \frac{1}{2}(/pi)^2= i+ 0j+ \frac{\pi^2}{2}k&lt;br /&gt; and&lt;br /&gt; (-cos 0)i+ (sin 0)i+ \frac{1}{2}(0)^2= -i+ 0j+ 0k &lt;br /&gt; so&lt;br /&gt; \int_0^{\pi}{(sin t)i+ (cos t)j+ (t)k}dt= 2i +\frac{\pi^2}{2}k

Thank you Halls of Ivy
