Single Variable Calculus, Chapter 8, 8.1, Section 8.1, Problem 36

Evaluate π0ecostsin2tdt by making a substitution first, then by using Integration by parts.
Recall that sin2t=2sintcost so,
π0ecostsin2tdt=π0ecost(2sintcost)dt

if we let z=cost, then dz=sintdt
Make sure that the upper and lower limits are also in terms of z, so...
π0ecost(2sintcost)dt=2cosπcos0zezdz=211zezdz

By using integration by parts,
If we let u=z and dv=ezdz. Then,
du=dz and v=ezdz=ez

So,

211zezdz=uvvdu=2[zezezdz]=2[zezez]=2ez[z1]


Evaluating from 1 to -1,
=4e
