How to integrate the following equation? sine^-x + e^xcose^-x thanks

hartnn (hartnn):

u know the property of integral: \(\large \int e^x(f(x)+f'(x) )dx=e^xf(x)+c\) ??

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no, i have never learnt that before.. what property is it called?

hartnn (hartnn):

don't know what its called, but using this can u try to solve your integral ?

hartnn (hartnn):

factor out e^x, then put cos(e^(-x)) = f(x)

zepdrix (zepdrix):

Hmm yah that works nicely :D I'd really like to know what property that is though.. i can't even find it on google...

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yupp i can do that with the formula you have given me.. gotten the correct answer, but does anyone here knows the property? really want to take a look. (:

hartnn (hartnn):

there is no name for this, just verify it,by differentiating right side

OpenStudy (anonymous):

It looks like a specific case of integration of parts, \[u(x)v(x) = \int\limits_{}^{}u'vdx + \int\limits_{}^{}uv'dx \] but if you select \[u = e^{x}, v = f(x)\] you get that property

hartnn (hartnn):

yes, thats ^^ the derivation

THANKS SO MUCH! solved (:

hartnn (hartnn):

welcome ^_^
