I have been informed that on March 7th from 6:00am to 6:00pm Central Time Lamar University will be doing some maintenance to replace a faulty UPS component and to do this they will be completely powering down their data center.
Unfortunately, this means that the site will be down during this time. I apologize for any inconvenience this might cause.

Section 7.2 : Integrals Involving Trig Functions
8. Evaluate \( \displaystyle \int{{\cos \left( {3t} \right)\sin \left( {8t} \right)\,dt}}\).
Show All Steps Hide All Steps
Start SolutionThere really isn’t all that much to this problem. All we have to do is use the formula given in this section for reducing a product of a sine and a cosine into a sum. Doing this gives,
\[\int{{\cos \left( {3t} \right)\sin \left( {8t} \right)\,dt}} = \int{{\frac{1}{2}\left[ {\sin \left( {8t - 3t} \right) + \sin \left( {8t + 3t} \right)} \right]\,dt}} = \frac{1}{2}\int{{\sin \left( {5t} \right) + \sin \left( {11t} \right)\,dt}}\]Make sure that you pay attention to the formula! The formula given in this section listed the sine first instead of the cosine. Make sure that you used the formula correctly!
Show Step 2Now all we need to do is evaluate the integral.
\[\int{{\cos \left( {3t} \right)\sin \left( {8t} \right)\,dt}} = \frac{1}{2}\left( { - \frac{1}{5}\cos \left( {5t} \right) - \frac{1}{{11}}\cos \left( {11t} \right)} \right) + c = \require{bbox} \bbox[2pt,border:1px solid black]{{ - \frac{1}{{10}}\cos \left( {5t} \right) - \frac{1}{{22}}\cos \left( {11t} \right) + c}}\]
