Answer

\[e^{−(2+i)x}=e^{-2x}\cos x+i(-e^{-2x}\sin x)\]

Work Step by Step

We will use the Euler's formula \[e^{i\theta}=\cos \theta+i\sin\theta\] We can write $\;e^{−(2+i)x}=e^{-2x-ix}$ $e^{−(2+i)x}=e^{-2x}e^{-ix}$ By using Euler's formula $e^{−(2+i)x}=e^{-2x}\left[\cos(-x)+i\sin(-x)\right]$ $e^{−(2+i)x}=e^{-2x}\left[\cos x-i\sin x\right]$ $e^{−(2+i)x}=e^{-2x}\cos x+i(-e^{-2x}\sin x)$ Here $\;u(x)=e^{-2x}\cos x$ and $\;v(x)=-e^{-2x}\sin x$ Hence $\;\;e^{−(2+i)x}=e^{-2x}\cos x+i(-e^{-2x}\sin x)$.
