Step 2: Rewrite and cancel out any common terms:


Step 3: Make an equivalence relation between the answer and the original function.

Example Question #778 : Integrals

Evaluate the integral:

Possible Answers:

Correct answer:

Explanation:

There are no substitutions that would work in this instance. Therefore, you must integrate by parts. The formula for integrating by parts is:

TO begin, you must assign values of u and dv based from the two different functions in the original integral. Specifically, .

From here, you can find values for du and v:

 was found by using the following formula:

V was found by using a u-substitution where  and the fact that: 

Following the formula, the integral can be rewritten as:

Once again, there is another integral that cannot be evaluated by using a substitution. Therefore, integration by parts must be used again.

The integral can be rewritten again as:

The integral that is left is easily solvable by using a u-substitution where  and the fact that .  This leaves you with:

Now, the final answer can be written as:

 

Example Question #779 : Integrals

Evaluate the integral:

Possible Answers:

Correct answer:

Explanation:

Despite the intimidating look of the problem, simplifications can be made. Since, the integrand can be rewritten as:

 Because of the properties of logarithms where , the integrand can be rewritten as:

There are no substitutions that can be done here. Therefore, you must integrate by parts. The formula for integrating by parts is:

To begin, you must assign values of u and dv based from the two different functions in the original integral. Specifically, .

From here, you can find values for du and v:

 was found by using the following formula:

V was found by using the following formula: 

Following the formula, the integral can be rewritten as:

The integral can be taken by using the following formula:

The final answer is:

 

Example Question #431 : Finding Integrals

Evaluate the integral:

Possible Answers:

Correct answer:

Explanation:

No substitution would work here, but rewriting the integrand via long division is easiest way to solve this problem. 

After long division, the quotient should be  with a remainder of 3. Whenever there is a remainder, it must be placed over the divisor as a numerator. This makes the original integral expressed as:

Each term of the integrand can be integrated by using the following formula:

For the last term, however, a u-substitution is needed where . The integrand can be rewritten as:

The final answer is:
