#int 5^x sinx dx = (5^x(ln5sinx- cosx))/(1+ln^2 5)+C#

Explanation:

Integrate by parts:

#int 5^x sinx dx = int 5^x d/dx (-cosx) dx #

#int 5^x sinx dx = = -5^xcosx + int cosx d/dx(5^x) dx #

#int 5^x sinx dx = = -5^xcosx + ln5 int cosx 5^xdx #

and then again:

#int 5^x sinx dx = = -5^xcosx + ln5 int d/dx(sinx) 5^xdx #

#int 5^x sinx dx = = -5^xcosx + ln5sinx5^x - ln5 int sinx d/dx( 5^x)dx #

#int 5^x sinx dx = = 5^x(ln5sinx- cosx) - ln^2 5 int sinx5^xdx #

The integral now appears on both sides of the equation and we can solve for it:

#(1+ln^2 5)int 5^x sinx dx = 5^x(ln5sinx- cosx)+C#

#int 5^x sinx dx = (5^x(ln5sinx- cosx))/(1+ln^2 5)+C#
