Please help me finish this integral

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yay integrals!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

something more fun then algebra!

OpenStudy (johnnydicamillo):

It is \[\int\limits_{}^{}e^x \sin(3x) dx\] so I made u = \[e^x\] du = e^x dv = sin(3x) v = -1/3 cos(3x)

OpenStudy (johnnydicamillo):

then I got the following

OpenStudy (johnnydicamillo):

\[\frac{ -1 }{ 3 }e^x \cos(3x) + \frac{ 1 }{ 3 }\int\limits_{}^{} \cos(3x) e^x dx\] then I did integration by parts again to get the following

OpenStudy (anonymous):

what are the bounds? or is it an indefinite integral?

OpenStudy (johnnydicamillo):

its indefinite

OpenStudy (johnnydicamillo):

now I am stuck because it right back to the beginning

OpenStudy (anonymous):

when you do integration by parts you end up with : \[u*v - \int\limits_{?}^{?}v du\]

OpenStudy (johnnydicamillo):

\[\int\limits_{}^{}e^xsin(3x)dx = -\frac{ 1 }{ 3 }e^xcos(3x) + \frac{ 1 }{ 9 }e^x \sin(3x)-\frac{ 1 }{ 9 }\int\limits_{}^{}e^x \sin(3x)dx\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

try switching your u's and v's

OpenStudy (johnnydicamillo):

I will end up with the same results

OpenStudy (anonymous):

take e^x as dv and take sin(3x) as u

OpenStudy (johnnydicamillo):

@xapproachesinfinity

@ganeshie8

OpenStudy (mathmate):

@johnnydicamillo You're on the right track. To finish, Compare \(\int\limits_{}^{}e^xsin(3x)dx = -\frac{ 1 }{ 3 }e^xcos(3x) + \frac{ 1 }{ 9 }e^x \sin(3x)-\frac{ 1 }{ 9 }\int\limits_{}^{}e^x \sin(3x)dx\) with \(x=-y+z - \dfrac{x}{9}\) How would you solve for x in the last equation?

OpenStudy (johnnydicamillo):

I have no idea = )

OpenStudy (johnnydicamillo):

add the x/9

OpenStudy (mathmate):

Can you solve the last equation for x in terms of y and z?

OpenStudy (mathmate):

more hints will reveal the answer!

OpenStudy (johnnydicamillo):

factor?

OpenStudy (johnnydicamillo):

no never mind

OpenStudy (johnnydicamillo):

I'm sorry I am not building the connection. You x/9 to the other side and add y to get z

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Think of it this way. If \(I\) is the original integral, you have \[I= -\frac{ 1 }{ 3 }e^xcos(3x) + \frac{ 1 }{ 9 }e^x \sin(3x)-\frac{ 1 }{ 9 }I\] If you solve for \(I\), you will have computed the original integral. (Don't forget your constant.)
