Math Problem Statement

Evaluate the integral: ∫[0 to 1] (-9y/e^(2y)) dy

Solution

The given integral is:

019ye2ydy\int_0^1 \frac{-9y}{e^{2y}} \, dy

Solution:

To solve this, we will use integration by parts. However, it is also useful to look for substitution patterns or directly integrate using a combination of standard techniques.

First, we observe that the integrand involves the product of two functions: yy and 1e2y\frac{1}{e^{2y}}. We can attempt a substitution to simplify the problem:

Let’s rewrite the integral as:

901ye2ydy-9 \int_0^1 \frac{y}{e^{2y}} \, dy

Step 1: Integration by parts

We can use integration by parts where:

  • u=yu = y (so that du=dydu = dy)
  • dv=1e2ydy=e2ydydv = \frac{1}{e^{2y}} dy = e^{-2y} dy (so that v=12e2yv = \frac{-1}{2} e^{-2y})

Now apply the integration by parts formula:

udv=uvvdu\int u \, dv = uv - \int v \, du

Substitute u=yu = y and v=12e2yv = \frac{-1}{2} e^{-2y}:

9([y12e2y]010112e2ydy)-9 \left( \left[ y \cdot \frac{-1}{2} e^{-2y} \right]_0^1 - \int_0^1 \frac{-1}{2} e^{-2y} \, dy \right)

Step 2: Evaluate the boundary terms

Evaluate the boundary term [y12e2y]01\left[ y \cdot \frac{-1}{2} e^{-2y} \right]_0^1:

At y=1y = 1:

112e2=12e21 \cdot \frac{-1}{2} e^{-2} = \frac{-1}{2e^2}

At y=0y = 0:

012e0=00 \cdot \frac{-1}{2} e^{0} = 0

So the boundary term is:

12e20=12e2\frac{-1}{2e^2} - 0 = \frac{-1}{2e^2}

Step 3: Integrate the remaining part

Now integrate 0112e2ydy\int_0^1 \frac{-1}{2} e^{-2y} \, dy:

The integral of e2ye^{-2y} is 12e2y\frac{-1}{2} e^{-2y}, so we get:

12[12e2y]01=12(12e212)\frac{-1}{2} \left[ \frac{-1}{2} e^{-2y} \right]_0^1 = \frac{-1}{2} \left( \frac{-1}{2e^2} - \frac{-1}{2} \right)

This simplifies to:

12(12e2+12)=14e214\frac{-1}{2} \left( \frac{-1}{2e^2} + \frac{1}{2} \right) = \frac{1}{4e^2} - \frac{1}{4}

Step 4: Combine the results

Now, putting everything together, we get:

9(12e2+(14e214))-9 \left( \frac{-1}{2e^2} + \left( \frac{1}{4e^2} - \frac{1}{4} \right) \right)

Simplifying the expression further gives the final answer.
