Math Problem Statement

Evaluate the following integral: ∫<3t³, e²ᵗ, sin(3t)> dt. The options provided are vector-valued expressions.

Solution

To solve this problem, we need to evaluate the integral:

3t3,e2t,sin(3t)dt\int \langle 3t^3, e^{2t}, \sin(3t) \rangle \, dt

This is a vector-valued integral, and we can integrate each component of the vector separately.

  1. The integral of the first component, 3t33t^3, is: 3t3dt=3t44+C1\int 3t^3 \, dt = \frac{3t^4}{4} + C_1

  2. The integral of the second component, e2te^{2t}, is: e2tdt=e2t2+C2\int e^{2t} \, dt = \frac{e^{2t}}{2} + C_2

  3. The integral of the third component, sin(3t)\sin(3t), is: sin(3t)dt=cos(3t)3+C3\int \sin(3t) \, dt = -\frac{\cos(3t)}{3} + C_3

Thus, combining the results, the final vector integral is:

r(t)=3t44+C1,e2t2+C2,cos(3t)3+C3r(t) = \left\langle \frac{3t^4}{4} + C_1, \frac{e^{2t}}{2} + C_2, -\frac{\cos(3t)}{3} + C_3 \right\rangle

Comparing this with the given options:

  • Option (a) is the correct answer.
