AI Thread Summary
To solve the integral ∫ e^(3x) cos(x) dx, integration by parts is required twice. The user initially struggled with the problem but eventually derived the solution as (e^(3x) sin(x) + 3e^(3x) cos(x)) / 10. This result was confirmed by another participant in the discussion. The conversation highlights the importance of understanding integration techniques in preparation for midterms. Mastery of such problems is essential for success in calculus.

I am studying for a midterm, was browsing over an old midterm and found this question


<br /> \int e^{3x} \cos{(x)}\; dx <br />

Can't figure it out, help would be appreciated

Integrate by parts twice. Post back if you get stuck.
 
erm didn't think we'd gotten that far, assignment on that section isn't due until monday. No wonder I couldn't find it hehe.

O well I have 2 hrs to learn it I'm good! :)
 
hmm I ended up with

<br /> \int e^{3x} \cos{(x)}\; dx = \frac{e^{3x}\sin{(x)} + 3e^{3x} \cos{(x})} {10}<br />

that sound about right?
 
Looks good to me.
 
Thread 'Variable mass system : water sprayed into a moving container'
Starting with the mass considerations #m(t)# is mass of water #M_{c}# mass of container and #M(t)# mass of total system $$M(t) = M_{C} + m(t)$$ $$\Rightarrow \frac{dM(t)}{dt} = \frac{dm(t)}{dt}$$ $$P_i = Mv + u \, dm$$ $$P_f = (M + dm)(v + dv)$$ $$\Delta P = M \, dv + (v - u) \, dm$$ $$F = \frac{dP}{dt} = M \frac{dv}{dt} + (v - u) \frac{dm}{dt}$$ $$F = u \frac{dm}{dt} = \rho A u^2$$ from conservation of momentum , the cannon recoils with the same force which it applies. $$\quad \frac{dm}{dt}...
