Homework Statement



Integrate: (e^(2t))(25sint+20cost)dt

Homework Equations



Integration by parts twice

The Attempt at a Solution



I don't know what to set for u and v.

I ended up wolfram alpha it but I want to know how to get there.

The solution is:

e^(2t)(14sint+3cost)=C

You could split the integral into two parts and work each one separately. I would start off with u1 = 25sin(t) for the first integral and u2 = 20cos(t) for the second one. Do similar substitutions the second time you apply integration by parts.

Should be + C, right?
 
There are two things I don't understand about this problem. First, when finding the nth root of a number, there should in theory be n solutions. However, the formula produces n+1 roots. Here is how. The first root is simply ##\left(r\right)^{\left(\frac{1}{n}\right)}##. Then you multiply this first root by n additional expressions given by the formula, as you go through k=0,1,...n-1. So you end up with n+1 roots, which cannot be correct. Let me illustrate what I mean. For this...
