Homework Statement



Integrating -e-4tsint

Homework Equations



Our tutor suggested we did this by integrating by parts in a cyclic fashion and things would cancel out

The Attempt at a Solution



Taking u = sint t; thus u'=cost
And v'=-e-4t; thus (1/4)e-4t

[tex]\int-e[/tex]4tsint = (1/4)e-4tsint-[tex]\int[/tex](1/4)e-4tcost

Taking u=cost thus u'= -sint
And v'=(1/4)e-4t; thus (-1/16)e-4t

[tex]\int-e[/tex]4tsint = (1/4)e-4tsint+(1/16)e-4tcost+(1/16)[tex]\int[/tex]e-4tsint

Nothing appears to cancel!]
 
Physics news on Phys.org
[tex]\int[/tex]-e-4tsint=[(1/4)sinte-4t+[(1/16)e-4tcost+(1/16)[tex]\int[/tex]e-4t

(-17/16)[tex]\int[/tex]e-4tsint=e-4t((1/4)sint+(1/16)cos))

Not sure what to do now?
 
oooh

[tex]\int[/tex]-e-4tsint=(16/17)e-4t((1/4)sint+(1/16)cos))

or

[tex]\int[/tex]-e-4tsin=e-4t(4sint+cost)

YAY that what the answer sheet says
