How can I integrate the problem below using integration by parts?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[\int\limits\limits_{}^{}\frac{ e ^{sinx}cosxsinxdx }{ \sin ^{2}x+2sinx+1 }\]

OpenStudy (gorv):

can u tell the power of e???

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Um, e is raised to sinx. Is this what you are asking?

OpenStudy (gorv):

yup

OpenStudy (gorv):

take sinx+1=t can u do nxt???

terenzreignz (terenzreignz):

The presence of so many instances of \(\large \sin \ x\) is daunting, but is tamed by the fact that in the numerator, a humble \(\large \cos \ x \) graces your problem with its presence....

OpenStudy (gorv):

denominator is (sinx+1)^2

terenzreignz (terenzreignz):

That does make things simpler, @gorv :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ah, you simplified it. yes.

terenzreignz (terenzreignz):

Okay... \[\huge \int\frac{e^{\sin(x)}\cos(x)\sin(x)}{[\sin(x)+1]^2}dx\]Can you sense what to do next, @taiga_aisaka ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

We've been taught that we need to use this formula: \[uv-\int\limits_{}^{}vdu\] So I guess that it is time to identify the u and the dV?

terenzreignz (terenzreignz):

It's not yet readily apparent. Perhaps you can make one simple substitution before proceeding to Integration by Parts?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I'm sorry, but I don't really know what to replace. :/

terenzreignz (terenzreignz):

Is it not tempting, for instance, to let \[\Large t = \sin(x) + 1\]? In that case, what is \[\huge dt = ?\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

then it's cosxdx

terenzreignz (terenzreignz):

yes... and also \[\huge t - 1 = \sin(x)\] So the integral becomes \[\huge \int \frac{e^{t-1}(t-1)}{t^2}dt\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

t represents sinx+1 do I need to just replace the variable t with sinx+1??

terenzreignz (terenzreignz):

Why go back when we switched to to to make integration easier? Now you can begin the actual integration work :)

terenzreignz (terenzreignz):

switched to t *gah* always the small typos :/

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I'm confused (I'm sorry, I'm really a beginner in integrals). To get it straight, you used a variable to substitute a value to make the integral easier to evaluate? <--- I can't really explain it well.

terenzreignz (terenzreignz):

Integration by Substitution? They should have taught you that before going to Integration by Parts... or else they're EEEEVVVVIIIIIIIILLLLL :D

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Then they are EVIL. no, I'm not even aware that it is possible. That is why I'm confused as to where the "t" came from. So I'm going to evaluate the last integral you gave me the one with t's?

terenzreignz (terenzreignz):

Yes. (Seriously? Integration by parts without Integration by substitution? Bloody hell... o.O )

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Oh Gosh. Thank you very much!

terenzreignz (terenzreignz):

Wait... ONCE you integrate that integral with the t's, don't forget to switch back to x, namely with this relation: \[\Huge t = \sin(x) +1\] Okay? :)
