2 Integration by Parts Objective: Find an antiderivative using integration by parts. Use a tabular method to perform integration by parts.
This technique is particularly useful for integrands involving products of algebraic functions and transcendental functions. The formula is based on the product rule for derivatives. Integration by Parts If u and v are functions of x and have continuous derivatives, then
udv = uv vdu
Guidelines for Integration by Parts 1. Try letting dv be the most complicated portion of the integrand that fits a basic integration rule. Then u will be the remaining factor(s) of the integrand. 2. Try letting u be the portion of the integrand whise derivative is a function simpler than u. Then dv will be the remaining factor(s) of the integrand. Ex: a.
xe dx
b.
x ln xdx
c.
arcsin xdx
Repeated use of integration by parts Sometimes you need to apply IBP multiple times 2 Ex: x sin xdx
z z
x n cos axdx
let u = xn and let dv = eaxdx, sinaxdx, or cosaxdx. 2. for integrals of the form x n ln xdx , x n arcsin axdx ,
x n arctan axdx
let u = lnx, arcsinax, or arctanax and let dv = xndx. 3. For integrals of the form e ax sin bxdx or e ax cos bxdx
let u = sinbx or cosbx and let dv = eaxdx. Tabular Method This can be used to help organize your work. This method works well for integrands of the form xnsinax, xncosax, and xneax Ex:
x 2 sin 4 xdx
