e 3 t c o s ( 2 3 t ) d t
I have been asked to evaluate that using complex exponential/euler's method. I have done many similar questions but all of them had something like (cos3x), sin(5t) etc. This is the first time I have come across a question where its of the format (cos a+bx) and cannot understand how to deal with the extra term. I have been stuck for a while now and have thus decided to ask the community for help, please help me out.

It's just like a complex constant thats all
e 3 t c o s ( 2 3 t ) d t
e 3 t 2 ( e + i ( 2 3 t ) + e i ( 2 3 t ) ) ) d t
e 3 t 2 e + i ( 2 3 t ) d t + e 3 t 2 e i ( 2 3 t ) d t
e 2 i e 3 t 2 e i 3 t d t + e 2 i e 3 t 2 e i 3 t d t
e 2 i 2 e t ( 3 + i 3 ) d t + e 2 i 2 e t ( 3 i 3 ) d t )
Then integrate ...

Consider the more general case
I = e a t cos ( b + c t ) d t
and start with
b + c t = x t = x b c d t = d x c
which makes
I = e a b c c e a c x cos ( x ) d x
At this point, you could consider
J = e a b c c e a c x sin ( x ) d x
which makes
I + i J = e a b c c e ( a c + i ) x d x = e a b c c c a + i c e x ( a + i c ) c
I i J = e a b c c e ( a c i ) x d x = e a b c c c a i c e x ( a i c ) c
and combine them to get after simplifications
I = a cos ( x ) + c sin ( x ) a 2 + c 2 e a ( x b ) c
J = a sin ( x ) c cos ( x ) a 2 + c 2 e a ( x b ) c
Back to t, this would give
I = e a t cos ( b + c t ) d t = a cos ( b + c t ) + c sin ( b + c t ) a 2 + c 2 e a t
J = e a t sin ( b + c t ) d t = a sin ( b + c t ) c cos ( b + c t ) a 2 + c 2 e a t

Edit
We could even make it more complex and using exactly the same procedure get
I = e a t + d cos ( b + c t ) d t = a cos ( b + c t ) + c sin ( b + c t ) a 2 + c 2 e a t + d
J = e a t + d sin ( b + c t ) d t = a sin ( b + c t ) c cos ( b + c t ) a 2 + c 2 e a t + d
