INTEGRATION BY PARTS
The formula for integration by parts is:
(see attachment)
The hard part is knowing when to use this formula and how to choose appropriate u and dv.
Here are some examples of problems that you can solve using the method of integration by parts, and explanations on how to solve them.
(1) ∫xexdx
Let u = x and dv = exdx. That means du = 1dx and v = ex.
Plug those values for u, v, du, and dv into the integration by parts formula:
∫xexdx = (x)(ex) - ∫(ex)(dx)
Solve the integral:
∫xexdx = xex - ex + c
Now, what if we had let u = ex and dv = xdx? Then du = exdx and v = ...
