How would I evaluate the integral:
I=∫∞0e−ax sinbxxdx
I have started doing the problem by integration by parts but it seems to be more lengthy. Since it is definite integration, any properties may be there. I can't figure out the property basically. Any suggestion will be highly appreciated. Thanks!
Answer
Notice, using property of Laplace transform as follows
L(1tf(t))=∫∞sL(f(t))dt
L(sinbt)=∫∞0e−stsintdt=bb2+s2
Now, we have
∫∞0e−axsinbxxdx
=∫∞aL(sinbx)dx
=∫∞abb2+x2dx
=b∫∞adxb2+x2
=b[1btan−1(xb)]∞a
=[tan−1(∞)−tan−1(ab)] =π2−tan−1(ab) Hence, we have
