We are asked to integrate $e^{ax} \cos(ax) \sin(ax) \, dx$.

To approach this, let's first simplify the expression. Notice that:

$\cos(ax) \sin(ax) = \frac{1}{2} \sin(2ax)$

Thus, the integral becomes:

$\int e^{ax} \cos(ax) \sin(ax) \, dx = \frac{1}{2} \int e^{ax} \sin(2ax) \, dx$

Now, we focus on solving:

$\frac{1}{2} \int e^{ax} \sin(2ax) \, dx$

This integral can be solved using the method of integration by parts. Let’s set it up using the standard formula for integration by parts:

$\int u \, dv = uv - \int v \, du$

Here, we choose:

• $u = e^{ax}$, so $du = a e^{ax} \, dx$
• $dv = \sin(2ax) \, dx$, so $v = -\frac{1}{2a} \cos(2ax)$

Applying integration by parts:

$\int e^{ax} \sin(2ax) \, dx = -\frac{1}{2a} e^{ax} \cos(2ax) + \frac{1}{2a} \int e^{ax} \cos(2ax) \, dx$

Now, for the remaining integral $\int e^{ax} \cos(2ax) \, dx$, we apply integration by parts again, similarly as above. After solving both parts, you should get the final answer as a combination of exponential and trigonometric terms.

The final solution will be of the form:

$\frac{1}{10a} e^{ax} \sin(2ax) + \frac{1}{10} e^{ax} \cos(2ax) + C$
