Integration Methods Part 4

By parts – basically making a complex function that is usually in the form of a product simpler

𝑑𝑣
by applying the formula and using appropriate substitutions for "𝑢" and " 𝑑𝑥 ".

𝑑𝑣 𝑑𝑢
NB: ∫ 𝑢 𝑑𝑥 𝑑𝑥 = 𝑣𝑢 − ∫ 𝑣 𝑑𝑥 𝑑𝑥

Q: ∫ 𝑥 𝑒 𝑥 𝑑𝑥

𝑑𝑣
S: 𝑙𝑒𝑡 𝑢 = 𝑥 𝑎𝑛𝑑 = 𝑒𝑥
𝑑𝑥

𝑑𝑢
=1 𝑣 = 𝑒𝑥
𝑑𝑥

 ∫ 𝑥 𝑒 𝑥 𝑑𝑥 = 𝑥𝑒 𝑥 − ∫ 𝑒 𝑥 𝑑𝑥

= 𝑥𝑒 𝑥 − 𝑒 𝑥 + 𝑐
