How the do you integrate this? :s help pls

OpenStudy (fanduekisses):

\[\int\limits_{}^{}te^{-4t}dt\]

OpenStudy (legomyego180):

usub I think

OpenStudy (zarkon):

integrate by parts

OpenStudy (fanduekisses):

Should I pick t as my U?

OpenStudy (agent0smith):

There's only really two options... if you can't tell which to pick, try whichever, if the integral gets more complex, then you chose wrong. You'll eventually be able to tell which to pick as u.

OpenStudy (legomyego180):

Can you solve this with u-sub?

OpenStudy (agent0smith):

Don't see how. By parts isn't hard anyway

OpenStudy (fanduekisses):

u= t du= dt dv= e^-4t v=-1/4 s^-4t

OpenStudy (fanduekisses):

\[v=- \frac{ 1 }{ 4 }e^{-4t}\]

OpenStudy (fanduekisses):

right?

OpenStudy (agent0smith):

Yes

OpenStudy (fanduekisses):

\[-\frac{ t }{ 4e^{-4t} }+\frac{ 1 }{ 4 }\int\limits_{}^{}e^{-4t}\]

OpenStudy (agent0smith):

That first term, no

OpenStudy (fanduekisses):

meh ohh

OpenStudy (fanduekisses):

\[-\frac{ te^{-4t} }{ 4 }+\frac{ 1 }{ 16 }e^{-4t}\]

OpenStudy (agent0smith):

Second term should be negative

OpenStudy (fanduekisses):

why, v is negative so

OpenStudy (agent0smith):

Because check your integration

OpenStudy (agent0smith):

1/4 divided by -4

OpenStudy (fanduekisses):

wait, is my v correct?

OpenStudy (agent0smith):

Yes just after your integration here, the second term should be negative \[\large -\frac{ t }{ 4e^{-4t} }+\frac{ 1 }{ 4 }\int\limits\limits_{}^{}e^{-4t}\]

OpenStudy (agent0smith):

After integrating that

OpenStudy (fanduekisses):

\[-\frac{ te^{-4t} }{ 4 }--\frac{ 1 }{ 4 }\int\limits_{}^{}e^{-4t}\]

OpenStudy (agent0smith):

No, up until that point was fine. It was AFTER integrating that.

OpenStudy (fanduekisses):

ohhhh hehe

OpenStudy (fanduekisses):

ok I just need to change the sign then :)

OpenStudy (fanduekisses):

thank you
