integrate s4^s ds

OpenStudy (dumbcow):

\[\large \int\limits_{}^{}s*4^{s} ds\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i think it is integration by parts u =s, dv= 4^s ds, du = ds, but what is v

OpenStudy (dumbcow):

4^s / ln(4) \[\int\limits_{}^{}a^{x} = \frac{a^{x}}{\ln(a)}\]

OpenStudy (dumbcow):

yes you're right to use integration by parts

OpenStudy (anonymous):

final answer is 4^s/ln4(s-1/ln4)+c

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thanks, im doing web assign right now, and i keep getting stuck

OpenStudy (dumbcow):

hmm i get something a little different: \[\large \frac{s*4^{s}}{\ln(4)} -\frac{4^{s}}{(\ln(4))^{2}}\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

that is the same, mine is just simplified, i took out the s/ln4

OpenStudy (anonymous):

how do you draw your equations so nice?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

how to integrate e^(−θ) cos 4θ dθ

OpenStudy (dumbcow):

oh i see, i didn't read your answer right use the equation button, frac{}{} allows you to write nice fractions

OpenStudy (dumbcow):

to write exponents....x^{ }

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[e^{-\theta} cos4\theta d\theta\]

OpenStudy (dumbcow):

integration by parts again...here you will have to do it twice u = e^-x , dv = cos 4x du = -e^-x, v = 1/4 sin4x

OpenStudy (dumbcow):

The 2nd time should look like this: u = e^-x , dv = sin 4x du = -e^-x, v = -1/4 cos 4x

OpenStudy (dumbcow):

resulting in: \[\int\limits_{}^{}e^{-x}\cos(4x) = \frac{1}{4}e^{-x}\sin(4x)-\frac{1}{16}e^{-x}\cos(4x)-\frac{1}{16}\int\limits_{}^{}e^{-x}\cos(4x)\]

OpenStudy (dumbcow):

then notice the integrals are exactly the same, so think combining like terms add 1/16 integral to other side then all you have to do is divide by a constant

OpenStudy (dumbcow):

do you follow?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

? maybe, but the answer cannot contain an integral

OpenStudy (dumbcow):

thats right, so imagine you treat the integrals like variables and combine like terms move it over to other side where the original integral is

OpenStudy (anonymous):

awesome, thanks!
