Question

Integration by Parts Evaluate e-2x cos(2x) dx.​

Answer 1

Let

$I = \displaystyle \int e^{-2x} \cos(2x) \, dx[/]tex

Integrate by parts:

[tex]\displaystyle \int u \, dv = uv - \int v \, du$

with

$u = e^{-2x} \implies du = -2 e^{-2x} \, dx \\\\ dv = \cos(2x) \, dx \implies v = \dfrac12 \sin(2x)$

Then

$\displaystyle I = \frac12 e^{-2x} \sin(2x) + \int e^{-2x} \sin(2x) \, dx + C$

Integrate by parts again, this time with

$u = e^{-2x} \implies du = -2 e^{-2x} \, dx \\\\ dv = \sin(2x) \, dx \implies v = -\dfrac12 \cos(2x)$

so that

$\displaystyle I = \frac12 e^{-2x} \sin(2x) - \frac12 e^{-2x} \cos(2x) - \int e^{-2x} \cos(2x) \, dx + C\\\\ \implies I = \frac{\sin(2x)-\cos(2x)}{2e^{2x}} - I + C \\\\ \implies 2I = \frac{\sin(2x) - \cos(2x)}{2e^{2x}} + C \\\\ \implies I = \boxed{\frac{\sin(2x) - \cos(2x)}{4e^{2x}} + C}$
