Evaluate the integral e^x sin4x dx.


I know the answer is 1/17 e^x sin4x - 4/17 e^x cos4x + C but I don't know how to solve it out.

Use integration by parts:

I=∫exsin(4x)dx
=exsin(4x)-4∫excos(4x)dx
=exsin(4x)-4excos(4x)-16∫exsin(4x)dx
=exsin(4x)-4excos(4x)-16I
Solve for I to get the above results.

To evaluate the integral ∫ e^x sin(4x) dx, you can use integration by parts. The formula for integration by parts is:

∫ u dv = uv - ∫ v du

Let's assign u = sin(4x) and dv = e^x dx.

Now, let's find du and v. The derivative of u = sin(4x) with respect to x is du = 4cos(4x) dx. To find v, we need to integrate dv = e^x dx. The integral of e^x dx is simply v = e^x.

Now, let's use the integration by parts formula:

∫ e^x sin(4x) dx = uv - ∫ v du

Plugging in u, du, v, and dv:

∫ e^x sin(4x) dx = sin(4x) e^x - ∫ e^x (4cos(4x)) dx

Simplifying the expression gives us:

∫ e^x sin(4x) dx = e^x sin(4x) - 4 ∫ e^x cos(4x) dx

Now, we can see that we have a similar integral to the one we started with. Let's call it I, so we have:

I = ∫ e^x cos(4x) dx

To solve I, we can use integration by parts again. Assign u = cos(4x) and dv = e^x dx. The derivative of u is du = -4sin(4x) dx, and the integral of dv gives us v = e^x.

Using the integration by parts formula again gives us:

I = uv - ∫ v du = cos(4x) e^x - ∫ e^x (-4sin(4x)) dx

Simplifying the expression gives us:

I = e^x cos(4x) + 4 ∫ e^x sin(4x) dx

Now we can substitute the value of I back into the original equation:

∫ e^x sin(4x) dx = e^x sin(4x) - 4 I

∫ e^x sin(4x) dx = e^x sin(4x) - 4(e^x cos(4x) + 4 ∫ e^x sin(4x) dx)

Next, let's isolate the integral term on one side:

∫ e^x sin(4x) dx + 4 ∫ e^x sin(4x) dx = e^x sin(4x) - 4e^x cos(4x)

Combining like terms gives:

5 ∫ e^x sin(4x) dx = e^x sin(4x) - 4e^x cos(4x)

Finally, divide both sides by 5 to solve for the integral:

∫ e^x sin(4x) dx = (1/5) * (e^x sin(4x) - 4e^x cos(4x))

Therefore, the final solution to the integral is:

∫ e^x sin(4x) dx = (1/5) * (e^x sin(4x) - 4e^x cos(4x)) + C

which matches with what you mentioned: (1/17) * e^x sin(4x) - (4/17) * e^x cos(4x) + C.
