Example Question #281 : Finding Integrals
Evaluate
Since doesn't resemble any basic integral form, we can use Integration by Parts, which follows this pattern.
Where is representing .
In general, we choose "u" to be the part of the integral that will eventually turn to zero if we differentiate it repeatedly, and "dv" to be the rest of the integral. In this case,
, and .
Now we differentiate "u" to find "du", and integrate "dv" to find "v". Doing so gives,
, and .
Now we plug the pieces into the Integration by Parts pattern.
Simplifying a little gives the following.
.
Unfortunately, this remaining integral, , is still not in a form that we can integrate. However, if we apply Integration by Parts to this second integral, we will get something that we can integrate. Using the same reasoning as before, choose "u" and "dv".
Then find "du" and "v" by the same method as before.
Now, put all the pieces together for the second iteration of Integration by Parts.
Now we have an integral that resembles a basic integral form. Let's integrate it.
Let's simplify this result before substituting it back into the first Integration by parts equation.
Now substitute this into the first Integration by parts result.
Now we simplify.
Thus, the final answer is
Example Question #12 : Indefinite Integrals
Evaluate
Neither nor will reduce to zero no matter how many times we differentiate them. So we must use Integration by Parts twice and solve for the integral algebraicly to find the answer. The process starts by choosing "u" and "dv". In this case, both and can be both differentiated and integrated without issue, so it doesn't matter which is "u" and which is "dv". In this example, we will choose the following.
Then we find "du" by differentiating "u", and we find "v" by integrating "dv".
Now we assemble these pieces into the Integration by Parts pattern.
Let's simplify a little and pull the constant, 2, out of the new integral.
Now we have to use Integration by parts on the new integral, , with "u" and "dv" chosen similarly to the first Integration by Parts.
Now differentiate "u" and integrate "dv".
Now apply Integration by parts to .
Lets simplify the new integral.
Substituting this back into the first Integration by Parts equation, we get
Now simplify by mulitplying the -2 throught the substituted expression.
Now notice that the original integral we are evaluating is now present on both sides of the equation. Solve for it by adding to both sides, thus canceling the right sides's, then combine them on the left side.
Now isolate the integral by dividing both sides by 5. This cancels the coefficient of 5, and leaves the integral that we are evaluating isolated on the left side of the equation.
We added the constant of integration into our final answer because this is an indefinite integral. This gives the final answer.
