Math Problem Statement

Given the integral of e^(-ax) sin(kx) dx, evaluate the integrals of x * e^(-ax) sin(kx) dx and x * e^(-ax) cos(kx) dx.

Solution

The problem asks to evaluate the following integrals given the formula:

0eaxsin(kx)dx=ka2+k2\int_0^\infty e^{-ax} \sin(kx) \, dx = \frac{k}{a^2 + k^2}

You are tasked to evaluate:

  1. 0xeaxsin(kx)dx\int_0^\infty x e^{-ax} \sin(kx) \, dx
  2. 0xeaxcos(kx)dx\int_0^\infty x e^{-ax} \cos(kx) \, dx

To solve these integrals, we'll use integration by parts and known formulas from Fourier or Laplace transforms.

1. Solving I1=0xeaxsin(kx)dxI_1 = \int_0^\infty x e^{-ax} \sin(kx) \, dx

We start by using integration by parts. Let:

  • u=xu = x, so du=dxdu = dx
  • dv=eaxsin(kx)dxdv = e^{-ax} \sin(kx) dx, and we need to find vv.

We can compute vv using the provided integral result: v=eaxsin(kx)dx=ka2+k2v = \int e^{-ax} \sin(kx) \, dx = \frac{k}{a^2 + k^2}

We'll also have to calculate a second integral by parts to finish the calculation.

2. Solving I2=0xeaxcos(kx)dxI_2 = \int_0^\infty x e^{-ax} \cos(kx) \, dx

Similarly, for this one, we can follow the same procedure, but instead of sin(kx)\sin(kx), we work with cos(kx)\cos(kx).

Meanwhile, here are five related questions to explore:

  1. What is the general form of integrals involving exponential and trigonometric functions?
  2. How does integration by parts work in solving integrals of this type?
  3. What is the importance of Laplace transforms in handling these types of integrals?
  4. Can the same techniques be applied if eaxe^{-ax} were replaced with another function?
  5. How would these integrals change if the limits were finite instead of infinite?

Tip: When handling these types of integrals, knowing specific integral tables or using Fourier/Laplace transform techniques can greatly simplify the work!
