help me

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Evaluate each of the following integrals.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[\int\limits8te^(7t) dt\]

zepdrix (zepdrix):

\[\huge \int\limits 8t\cdot e^{7t}dt\]The equation tool can take some getting used to :) So this is the problem? The 7 and t are in the exponent right?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yeah

zepdrix (zepdrix):

Hmm so we'll need to apply integration by Parts. We want t to be our U, because we want it to shrink down to a constant as we progress. So let's try setting it up like this,\[\large u=8t \;, \qquad dv=e^{7t}dt\]

zepdrix (zepdrix):

So what do you get for your du, and v? :D

OpenStudy (anonymous):

du/dt=8

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[e^7t lets apply \ln\]

zepdrix (zepdrix):

woops :) text doesn't work so well in equation tool, heh.

zepdrix (zepdrix):

du/dt = 8 which we can write as, du = 8 dt Having trouble integrating that exponential?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yea

zepdrix (zepdrix):

To integrate an exponential like that, you simply get the same thing back, but also you DIVIDE by the coefficient on x. Think about what happens when you take a DERIVATIVE of e^(7x). You get 7e^(7x) right? Well it's the opposite process here.\[\huge dv=e^{7t}dt \qquad \rightarrow \qquad v=\frac{e^{7t}}{7}\]
