    Infinite
AI Thread Summary
The discussion revolves around the integral of the function e^(-Nx^2)cos(Mx) with respect to x. Participants question whether the limits should be from negative to positive infinity, as this could affect the outcome, potentially leading to a complex error function. One user expresses frustration after attempting the calculation for over six pages without success. They share a complex result involving the error function and exponential terms, indicating the difficulty of the problem. The conversation highlights the challenges in evaluating this integral and the importance of proper limits in such calculations.

e^(-Nx^2)cos(Mx) dx = ? (M,N are const)
Please help. Thanks.

:biggrin: I won't change anything in the above post before reading your posts :wink:
 
Are you sure the limits aren't from negative infinity to positive infinity? Otherwise, you will end up with a complex error function (real part).

I am sure, I check carefully, I aldready tried, its over 6 and a half pages but unable to get the valeu, you can check it yourself or you want to see my part ?
 
This is what I get:
Re \sqrt {\frac {\pi}{4m}} e^{i \frac {n^2}{4m}} \left( 1 + erf \left( \frac {im}{2\sqrt m} \right) \right)
 
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...
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 .
