[tex]\int_0^{\infty}e^{-\beta^2t}\cos(\beta x) \, d\beta [/tex]
Any hint?
The general equation for integrating exponential functions with sinusoidal factors is ∫ e^(ax)sin(bx) dx = (ae^(ax)sin(bx) - be^(ax)cos(bx)) / (a^2 + b^2) + C, where C is the constant of integration.
The constant a is determined by the coefficient of x in the exponential function, while the constant b is determined by the coefficient of x in the sinusoidal factor. For example, in the equation ∫ e^(2x)sin(3x) dx, a = 2 and b = 3.
Integrating exponential functions with sinusoidal factors is useful in many fields of science, such as physics, engineering, and economics. It allows us to model and analyze real-world phenomena that exhibit both exponential growth/decay and periodic behavior.
No, this integration method can only be applied to functions that have both an exponential term and a sinusoidal term. It will not work for functions that do not have both of these factors.
One technique is to use trigonometric identities to rewrite the function in terms of sine and cosine. Another technique is to use substitution, where u = bx and du = b dx, to simplify the integration. Additionally, integration by parts can also be used in some cases.
