The integrals \(C\) and \(S\) are defined by $$C = \int_0^{3\pi} e^{3x} \cos 3x \, dx \quad \text{and} \quad S = \int_0^{3\pi} e^{3x} \sin 3x \, dx.$$ By considering \(C + iS\) as a single integral, show that $$C = -\frac{1}{3}(2 + 3e^{\pi}),$$ and obtain a similar expression for \(S\). [8] (You may assume that the standard result for \(\int e^{kx} dx\) remains true when \(k\) is a complex constant, so that \(\int e^{(a+ib)x} dx = \frac{1}{a+ib}e^{(a+ib)x}\).)
