Math Problem Statement

Evaluate the integral: ∫₀⁺∞ t e⁻³ᵗ sin(t) dt

Solution

The integral presented is:

0te3tsin(t)dt\int_{0}^{\infty} t e^{-3t} \sin(t) \, dt

To evaluate this integral, we can use the Laplace transform approach or integration by parts. Here's the step-by-step solution:


Step 1: Recall the integral formula for Laplace Transforms

The Laplace Transform of tneatsin(bt)t^n e^{-at} \sin(bt) is: L[tneatsin(bt)]=n!b(a2+b2)n+1.\mathcal{L} \left[ t^n e^{-at} \sin(bt) \right] = \frac{n! b}{(a^2 + b^2)^{n+1}}.

Here, n=1n = 1, a=3a = 3, and b=1b = 1.


Step 2: Plug in the parameters

Using the formula, we compute: 0te3tsin(t)dt=1!1(32+12)2.\int_{0}^{\infty} t e^{-3t} \sin(t) \, dt = \frac{1! \cdot 1}{(3^2 + 1^2)^2}.


Step 3: Simplify

0te3tsin(t)dt=1(9+1)2=1102=1100.\int_{0}^{\infty} t e^{-3t} \sin(t) \, dt = \frac{1}{(9 + 1)^2} = \frac{1}{10^2} = \frac{1}{100}.


Final Answer:

0te3tsin(t)dt=1100.\int_{0}^{\infty} t e^{-3t} \sin(t) \, dt = \frac{1}{100}.

Let me know if you'd like further clarification or details on any specific step.
