Math Problem Statement

Compute the integral 0 π⟨cos(2t),tet,t2⟩dt.

Solution

To compute the integral of the vector function cos(2t),tet,t2\langle \cos(2t), te^t, t^2 \rangle from 0 to π\pi, we will integrate each component of the vector function separately over the interval [0,π][0, \pi].

The integral is:

= \langle \int_0^\pi \cos(2t) dt, \int_0^\pi te^t dt, \int_0^\pi t^2 dt \rangle$$ ### 1. First component: $$\int_0^\pi \cos(2t) dt$$ Using the standard integral of cosine: $$\int \cos(2t) dt = \frac{1}{2} \sin(2t)$$ Evaluating this from 0 to $$\pi$$: $$\left[ \frac{1}{2} \sin(2t) \right]_0^\pi = \frac{1}{2} (\sin(2\pi) - \sin(0)) = \frac{1}{2} (0 - 0) = 0$$ ### 2. Second component: $$\int_0^\pi te^t dt$$ This integral requires integration by parts. Let: $$u = t \quad \text{and} \quad dv = e^t dt$$ Then: $$du = dt \quad \text{and} \quad v = e^t$$ Using integration by parts: $$\int te^t dt = te^t - \int e^t dt = te^t - e^t$$ Evaluating from 0 to $$\pi$$: $$\left[ te^t - e^t \right]_0^\pi = \left( \pi e^\pi - e^\pi \right) - \left( 0e^0 - e^0 \right) = \pi e^\pi - e^\pi + 1$$ Thus, the second component is: $$(\pi - 1) e^\pi + 1$$ ### 3. Third component: $$\int_0^\pi t^2 dt$$ This is a standard power rule integral: $$\int t^2 dt = \frac{t^3}{3}$$ Evaluating from 0 to $$\pi$$: $$\left[ \frac{t^3}{3} \right]_0^\pi = \frac{\pi^3}{3} - 0 = \frac{\pi^3}{3}$$ ### Final Answer Combining the results from the three components, the integral of the vector function is: $$\int_0^\pi \langle \cos(2t), te^t, t^2 \rangle dt = \langle 0, (\pi - 1) e^\pi + 1, \frac{\pi^3}{3} \rangle$$ Would you like more details on any specific step or component?
