Could someone please help me with the following integral?

OpenStudy (babyslapmafro):

\[\int\limits_{0}^{\infty}\cos(\omega t)e ^{-st}dt\]

OpenStudy (phi):

you could replace cos(wt) with e^(i w t) integrate, then take the real part

OpenStudy (alekos):

Or IBP twice

OpenStudy (babyslapmafro):

I did IBP twice and got stuck, the original integral doesn't cancel well.

OpenStudy (phi):

as you know e^( i w t ) = cos(wt) + i sin(wt) it turns out we can put in e^(i w t) , do the integration then look at the real part.

OpenStudy (phi):

and, btw, the imaginary part of the answer will be equivalent to integrating sin(wt) e^(-st)

OpenStudy (babyslapmafro):

nvm i got it with ibp
