AI Thread Summary
The discussion revolves around the integration of the function e^(2x)sin(x). The initial attempts using integration by parts were unsuccessful, as e^(2x) does not simplify and sin(x) oscillates between sine and cosine. Participants suggest continuing with integration by parts, rearranging the resulting equation to isolate the integral. The ILATE rule is recommended to determine the proper order of functions for integration. The conversation emphasizes persistence in using integration by parts to ultimately solve the integral.

Hi, I have to integrate this:

<br /> \int e^{2x}sinx<br />

I've tried by parts, but e^{2x} never goes away and sinx just keeps going back and forth to cosx. Is there some kind of substitution I should use? The original question was the differential:

(-e^xsinx+y)dx+dy = 0

and I'm trying to find the integration factor to solve for y, but I can't seem to figure out how to integrate it. Thanks!
 
Physics news on Phys.org
for your first question,
proceed with the integration by parts ...
label the original integral as I and continue
at some stage, u will have,
I = e^x something + something - I (or something like that)
rearrange to find I.

To clarify, keep integrating by parts until you get your original integral. then move that integral to the other side of the equation and solve :D
 
Hi

Use the ILATE rule which tells you which function to take as the first one. ILATE = Inverse Circular Function, Logarithmic Function, Algebraic Function, Trigonometric Function, Exponential Function (this is the order...the function appearing higher in the list should be taken as the first function).

Cheers

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...
