Definite integral problem

OpenStudy (vishweshshrimali5):

Prove that: \[\large{\int\limits_{0}^{\infty}(x^m*e^{-x}*\sin{x}~ dx) = \cfrac{m!}{2^{\cfrac{(m+2)}{2}}}\sin[(m+1)\cfrac{\pi}{4}]}\]

OpenStudy (vishweshshrimali5):

for m = 0,1,2,...

OpenStudy (vishweshshrimali5):

@ganeshie8 @Miracrown @mathmale @mathslover I have some thought of this question

OpenStudy (vishweshshrimali5):

I am thinking of changing the integral to this: \[\large{\int\limits_{0}^{\infty}(x^m*e^{-x}*\sin{x}~ dx) = \int\limits_{0}^{\infty}(x^m * Im(e^{(i-1)x})dx}\]

OpenStudy (vishweshshrimali5):

I am thinking of calculating this integral using integration by parts: \[\large{\int\limits_{0}^{\infty}(x^m*e^{-x}*\sin{x}~ dx) = Im(\int\limits_{0}^{\infty}(x^m * (e^{(i-1)x})dx})\]

OpenStudy (vishweshshrimali5):

I did this: \[\large{I~~\text{(say)} = \int\limits_{0}^{\infty}(x^m * e^{(i-1)x})dx}\]

OpenStudy (ikram002p):

\(\large \int_0^\infty f(t)dt =\lim_{x-\infty \int_0^x f(t)dt}\)

OpenStudy (vishweshshrimali5):

ohh ok @ikram002p , let me give it a try : \[\large{\int\limits_{0}^{t}(x^m * e^{(i-1)x})dx}\] \[\large{\int\limits_{0}^{t}(x^m~~\text{(I function)} * e^{(i-1)x}~~\text{(II function)})dx}\]

OpenStudy (vishweshshrimali5):

\[\large{x^m*(\int e^{(i-1)x}*dx) - \int(\int(e^{(i-1)x}*dx)*m*x^{m-1}*dx}\]

OpenStudy (vishweshshrimali5):

First I am going to calculate this: \[\large{\int e^{(i-1)x}dx} = I_1\] \[\large{I_1 = \cfrac{e^{(i-1)x}}{(i-1)}}\]

OpenStudy (vishweshshrimali5):

So, \[\large{x^m*(\int e^{(i-1)x}*dx) - \int(\int(e^{(i-1)x}*dx)*m*x^{m-1}*dx}\] \[\large{= x^m * \cfrac{e^{(i-1)x}}{(i-1)} - m\int(\cfrac{e^{(i-1)x}}{(i-1)} *x^{m-1}dx) }\] \[\large{= x^m * \cfrac{e^{(i-1)x}}{(i-1)} - \cfrac{m}{i-1}* \int(e^{(i-1)x}*x^{m-1}dx)}\] Should I apply integration by parts for second integral again @ikram002p

OpenStudy (vishweshshrimali5):

Let: \[\large{I_2 = \int(e^{(i-1)x}*x^{m-1}*dx)}\] \[\large{I_2 = \int(e^{(i-1)x}~~\text{(II function)}*x^{m-1}~~\text{(I function)}*dx)}\]

OpenStudy (vishweshshrimali5):

So, \[\large{I_2 = x^{m-1}\int e^{(i-1)x}dx - \int (\int e^{(i-1)x} dx)*(m-1)*x^{m-2} dx}\] I don't think this is going to help much.

OpenStudy (vishweshshrimali5):

I would get a similar integral as \(\large{I_1}\)

OpenStudy (vishweshshrimali5):

but it would be yet a lot different

OpenStudy (vishweshshrimali5):

Can gamma integral work ?

OpenStudy (vishweshshrimali5):

Because the limits and the terms to be integrated are very similar to it.

OpenStudy (ikram002p):

will there is direct epanding for \(\int x^n e^x\) u can directly use it

OpenStudy (vishweshshrimali5):

Ohh ok can you tell me the formula pls.

OpenStudy (ikram002p):

expanding * sry for laging but im studing :D ill write down

OpenStudy (vishweshshrimali5):

ohh okay take your time

OpenStudy (ikram002p):

\(\large \int x^n e^a dx =e^{ax}\sum_{n=0}^n (-1)^k \frac {n!}{(n-k)!} .\frac {x^{n-k}}{a^{ k+1 }} \)

OpenStudy (vishweshshrimali5):

Thanks @ikram002p I will try solving using this.

OpenStudy (ikram002p):

yeah it need work abit s u would have this integral \(\large \lim_{x-\infty}\frac{1}{2i}\int_0^x x^m e^{x(i-1) } dx -\lim_{x-\infty} \frac{1}{2i}\int_0^x x^m e^{-x(i+1) } dx\)

OpenStudy (ikram002p):

good luck !

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OMG My goodness i haven't seen such big integrals ever in my whole life

geerky42 (geerky42):

Then you may need to see this haha @No.name http://math.stackexchange.com/questions/815863/1-d-definite-integral

OpenStudy (anonymous):

WOW , lOl

OpenStudy (ikram002p):

xD

OpenStudy (vishweshshrimali5):

Okay I tried it with your method but I think I did some mistake somewhere. So, I tried to solve it other way : I am going to do this: I assume that, \[\large{I_n = \int \limits_{0}^{\infty} x^m e^{(i-1)x}dx }\] \[\large{A_n = \int \limits_{0}^{\infty} x^m e^{-x} \cos x dx}\] \[\large{B_n = \int \limits_{0}^{\infty} x^m e^{-x} \sin x dx}\] Now, clearly, \(\large{I_n = A_n + iB_n}\) with \(\large{n \ge 1}\) First, I am going to solve \(\large{I_n}\) using by parts: \(\huge{I_n = x^m\cfrac{e^{(i-1)x}}{i-1} - \int \limits m*x^{m-1}*\cfrac{e^{(i-1)x}}{i-1}dx}\) I am trying to solve it after that. I would be back after dinner.

OpenStudy (vishweshshrimali5):

* \[\large{I_n = x^m\cfrac{e^{(i-1)x}}{i-1} - \int \limits m*x^{m-1}*\cfrac{e^{(i-1)x}}{i-1}dx}\]

OpenStudy (vishweshshrimali5):

Wonderful !! I got it

OpenStudy (vishweshshrimali5):

ERRATA: In place of I_n, A_n, B_n there should be I_m, A_m, B_m. Now, my solution after the above step: \[\large{I_m = \cfrac{-m}{i-1} I_{m-1}}\] \[\large{\implies I_m = \cfrac{-m}{i-1}*\cfrac{-(m-1)}{i-1}I_{m-2}}\] \[\large{\implies I_m = \cfrac{(-1)^m*m!}{(i-1)^m}I_{0}}\] Now, the value of \(\large{I_{0}}\) can be easily calculated and is, \[\large{I_{0} = \cfrac{-1}{i-1}}\] Thus, \[\large{I_m = \cfrac{(-1)^m * m!}{(i-1)^m}*\cfrac{(-1)}{i-1}}\] \[\large{\implies I_m = \cfrac{(-1)^{m+1} * m!}{(i-1)^{m+1}}}\] \[\large{\implies I_m = \cfrac{(-1)^{m+1}*m!}{(i-1)^{m+1}}*\cfrac{(i+1)^{m+1}}{(i+1)^{m+1}}}\] \[\large{\implies I_m = \cfrac{(-1)^{m+1}*m!*(i+1)^{m+1}}{(i^2-1)^{m+1}}}\] \[\large{\implies I_m = \cfrac{(-1)^{m+1}*m!*(i+1)^{m+1}}{(-2)^{m+1}}}\] \[\large{\implies I_m = \cfrac{m!*(i+1)^{m+1}}{2^{m+1}}}\]

OpenStudy (vishweshshrimali5):

Also, \[\large{B_m = \cfrac{1}{2i}(I_m - \overline{I_m})}\] \[\large{\implies B_m = \cfrac{1}{2i} * \cfrac{m!}{2^{(m+1)}}((i+1)^{m+1} - (1-i)^{m+1})}\] \[\large{\implies B_m = \cfrac{m!}{2^{m+2}i}*[2^ {\cfrac{m+1}{2}}((\cos{(m+1)\cfrac{\pi}{4}}} + i\sin{(m+1)\cfrac{\pi}{4}}) - \] \[\large{(\cos{(m+1)\cfrac{\pi}{4}} - i\sin{(m+1)\cfrac{\pi}{4}}))}\] \(\large{\implies B_m = \cfrac{m!}{2^{\cfrac{m+1}{2}}}*[\sin ({(m+1)\cfrac{\pi}{4}})]}\) ; \(\large{m \ge 0}\)

OpenStudy (vishweshshrimali5):

There we have it .. *sigh*

OpenStudy (vishweshshrimali5):

@ganeshie8 @ikram002p @mathmale @hartnn Can you please check this proof ?

hartnn (hartnn):

excellent work! i don't see any error when i went through it, method is perfect...but seeing that you got the final answer correctly, i don't think there would be any error.

hartnn (hartnn):

when you learn laplace, you might find a shorter way of doing same integral :)

OpenStudy (vishweshshrimali5):

Thanks @hartnn !! I would surely have a look at Laplace.
