Very simple, yet very often ignored method

This is sort of standard... but some ppl oftern miss it!!!

How would you integrate ex cosx?

I dont want integration by parts

I=∫excosx = real part of ∫exeix dx
= real part of ∫e(1+i)x
=real part of e(1+i)x/(1+i)+C1+iC2....

yup that is what i was looking for :)

For Sky.. to make this integration more clear to you...

excosx = Re[ex(cosx+i sinx)]

Re[ex(cosx+i sinx)]= Re[ex.eix] =Re[ex+ix]

excosx=Re[ex+ix]
∫excosx=∫Re[ex+ix]
=Re[∫ex+ix]

=Re[∫e(1+i)x]

= Re[(ex+ix)/(1+i)]

Now we just need to calcualte the real part of this given number!
