2.Integration by parts
This is the technique of transforming one integral into another that is easier to evaluate.
The integration by parts comes from the following derivatives formula:
This can be written:
Taking the indefinite integral of both side we get:
Or simply:
We must make an adequate choice in order not to get a more complicated integrated.
One of the favorite examples is:
Evaluate
Let
Problem 13
Evaluate:
Let
We get:
(1)
Finally:
Problem 14
Evaluate:
Let
We write:
(2)
We resume the process for the second part of the integral:
Let
(3)
We are back to a fraction of the original:
Finally:
Problem 15
Evaluate:
Let
We write:
(4)
Finally:
Problem 16
Evaluate:
Let
We write:
We resume:
Let
Back to the original equation:
Finally:
Problem 17- Special Case
Evaluate:
When is a large natural number,we decrease by to case a situation where we have to integrate
We proceed as follows:
Let
We get:
Or:
We find the original integral in the right part. We group and we get:
We get:
This is very useful when combined with our know formula:
Problem 18
Evaluate:
Let
Or:
We get:
Now, just for fun
Let
Back to the original equation:
