nth derivative of y=e^ax*cos(bx)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i got it no tension

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i think u write it in the form\[y=e^{ax}\times\cos(bx)=e^{ax}\times \frac{e^{ibx}+e^{-ibx}}{2}\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

but how can cosbx be written as what u have written

OpenStudy (anonymous):

are u familiar with complex numbers?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i have solved by substituting \[a=k \sin \alpha\] \[b=k \sin \alpha\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

not much familiar with them please explain iam in 10th jst doing advanced studies

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@TuringTest lets work on this

OpenStudy (anonymous):

what was that formula u used for a problem once ?

OpenStudy (turingtest):

Leibniz theorem...

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[(uv)^n ...\]

OpenStudy (turingtest):

\[(uv)'=\sum_{k=0}^n\binom nku^{(k)}v^{(n-k)}\]

OpenStudy (turingtest):

looks just like the binomial theorem

OpenStudy (turingtest):

unfortunately I actually can't focus on this too much right now, but I will see if I find something fairly obvious...

OpenStudy (turingtest):

that should be (uv)^(n) like you said...

OpenStudy (anonymous):

np :) thank u

OpenStudy (turingtest):

\[(uv)^{(n)}=\sum_{k=0}^n\binom nku^{(k)}v^{(n-k)}\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok i'll start letting\[u=\cos bx\]\[v=e^{ax}\]

OpenStudy (turingtest):

that formula works better usually when it says "find the nth derivative at x=0 or something, but it may help us here"

OpenStudy (turingtest):

..and I have to go, but I will be happy to see how this works out :) see ya!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

cya :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[(\cos bx .e^{ax})^{(n)}=\sum_{k=0}^n\binom nk(\cos bx)^{(k)}(e^{ax})^{(n-k)}\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

its immidiate that\[(e^{ax})^{(n-k)}=a^{n-k} e^{ax}\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[(\cos bx)^{(k)}=b^k \cos(\frac{k\pi}{2}+bx)\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i think i'll work on this later...gotta go to bed :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i think it wud be difficult to do it like that by using lebinitz theorem

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yeah it is compilicated

OpenStudy (anonymous):

the solution is possible by substituting \[a=k \cos \alpha\] \[b=k \sin \alpha\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

why letting\[a=b=k \sin \alpha\]????

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no not that because that compulsorily means that u r making a and b equal but with one expressed as product of \[ \cos \alpha\] and \[\sin \alpha\] you have exactly a real situation
