Hint. n
cos x dx = cosn−1 x cos x dx, let u = cosn−1 x and dv = cos x dx.
(a) Using Euler’s formula and integral of exponential functions to show that:

a − bi ax ¡ ¢
e ax cos bx dx + i e ax sin bx dx = 2 e cos bx + i sin bx ,
a + b2
p
where i = −1 is the imaginary number.
(b) By equating the real and imaginary parts of both sides, obtain equations (1) and (2).
