Hi, Khan,

Here are two ideas for you to try:

1) At this site:

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trigonometric_identity#Product-to-sum_and_sum-to-product_identities

you will find a formula for  sin A cos B which you can use.  It will change the integral into a sum of two sines which you should be able to do.

.......................

2) Assuming you meant:  2.7^(2x+7), look for an integration formula like this:

{
| a^u du
}

Try:
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Table_of_integrals#Table_of_Integrals

You'll find it there.  They use x's instead of u's, but it's the same.

Expertise

All topics in first-year calculus including infinite series, max-min and related rate problems. Also trigonometry and complex numbers, theory of equations, exponential and logarithmic functions. I can also try (but not guarantee) to answer questions on Analysis -- sequences, limits, continuity.

Experience

I taught all mathematics subjects from elementary algebra to differential equations at a two-year college in New York City for 25 years.
