How do you integrate inte^(cos)(t) (sin 2t) dtecos(t)(sin2t)dt between a = 0a=0, b = pib=π?

This integral has to be done with the theorem of the integration by parts, that says:

intf(x)g'(x)dx=f(x)g(x)-intg(x)f'(x)dx.

We have to remember also the double-angle formula of sinus, that says:

sin2alpha=2sinalphacosalpha.

So, the integral becomes:

2int_0^pie^costsintcostdt=-2int_0^pie^cost(-sint)*costdt=(1)

We can assume that:

f(t)=cost and g'(t)dx=e^cost(-sint)dt.

So:

f'(t)dt=-sintdt

g(t)=e^cost and this is because inte^f(x)f'(x)dx=e^f(x)+c.

Then:

(1)=-2{[cost(e^cost)]_0^pi-int_0^pie^cost(-sint)dt}=

=-2[coste^cost-e^cost]_0^pi=

=-2(cospie^cospi-e^cospi-(cos0e^cos0-e^cos0))=

=-2(-e^-1-e^-1-e+e)=4/e.
