Decaying oscillations Let \(a>0\) and \(b\) be real numbers. Use integration to confirm the following identities. a. \(\int_{0}^{\infty} e^{-a x} \cos b x d x=\frac{a}{a^{2}+b^{2}}\) b. \(\int_{0}^{\infty} e^{-a x} \sin b x d x=\frac{b}{a^{2}+b^{2}}\)
Consider the curve \(y=\ln x\) a. Find the length of the curve from \(x=1\) to \(x=a\) and call it \(L(a) .\) (Hint: The change of variables \(u=\sqrt{x^{2}+1}\) allows evaluation by partial fractions.) b. Graph \(L(a)\) c. As \(a\) increases, \(L(a)\) increases as what power of \(a ?\)
Use the indicated substitution to convert the given integral to an integral of a rational function. Evaluate the resulting integral. $$\int \frac{d x}{x-\sqrt[4]{x}} ; x=u^{4}$$
\(A\) powerful tool in solving problems in engineering and physics is the Laplace transform. Given a function \(f(t),\) the Laplace transform is a new function \(F(s)\) defined by $$ F(s)=\int_{0}^{\infty} e^{-s t} f(t) d t $$ where we assume that s is a positive real number. For example, to find the Laplace transform of \(f(t)=e^{-t},\) the following improper integral is evaluated: $$ F(s)=\int_{0}^{\infty} e^{-s t} e^{-t} d t=\int_{0}^{\infty} e^{-(s+1) t} d t=\frac{1}{s+1} $$ Verify the following Laplace transforms, where a is a real number. $$f(t)=t \longrightarrow F(s)=\frac{1}{s^{2}}$$
Refer to the summary box (Partial Fraction Decompositions) and evaluate the following integrals. $$\int \frac{2}{x\left(x^{2}+1\right)^{2}} d x$$
