What is parts: Definition and 838 Discussions

In science and engineering, the parts-per notation is a set of pseudo-units to describe small values of miscellaneous dimensionless quantities, e.g. mole fraction or mass fraction. Since these fractions are quantity-per-quantity measures, they are pure numbers with no associated units of measurement. Commonly used are parts-per-million (ppm, 10−6), parts-per-billion (ppb, 10−9), parts-per-trillion (ppt, 10−12) and parts-per-quadrillion (ppq, 10−15). This notation is not part of the International System of Units (SI) system and its meaning is ambiguous.

    Which term should be chosen for u(x) in integration by parts?

    ok i`m really struggling with the concept. I've been asked to find the indefinite integral of; \int \frac{x^2}{(2+ x^3)} dx so before i beg for the answer could someone confirm that i`ve got the right rule to solve this; \int u(x) v'(x) = [ u(x) v(x)] - \int v(x) u'(x) if this...

    Integration by parts when a limit is infinity.

    I'm having a tough time trying to do integration by parts with one of my limits being infinity. My Integral looks like: \int_0^\infty x^z e^{-x} dx with z = \frac{-1}{\pi} Now if I let u = e^{-x} and dv = x^z dx, I will have: du = -e^{-x} dx and v = \frac{1}{z + 1} x^{z + 1} and...

    How can I integrate e^-x sinx using parts?

    I've got a function \int e^{-x}sinx dx From what I know, only functions which has one or more products with a finite number of successive differentials can be evaluated using integration by parts. Because for \int v du in our choice of du, we want to cut down on the number of times we have...

    Done by parts integral and simplify

    i have to integrate the next: (x^2)(e^x)dx/((x+2)^2) It should be done by parts. How I can simplify it? Is (4x+4) (e^x) dx/(x+2)^2 easier to be integrated?

    I have no idea how to integrate by parts

    I don't think anyone in class understands it, we went over it so quick. The only thing I seem to get is that uv - (integral) vdu = (integral) udv. You are supposed to assign u, v, dv and du, but how do you know which is u and which is v? What is the difference between du and dv? Are you...

    What is the best approach for Integration by parts?

    I am usually alright once I figure out how to split up the integral into u: du: v: dv: so i can simply do uv-\int v*du but I keep messing up on there I will post some examples if I can find them and if someone could help me that would be great \int (ln(x))^2

    Figuring Out an Odd Function With Different Parts Along x-Axis: Help Needed!

    I just can't seem to grasp this! I have no problems finding out if a function let's say x-2x^2 is an even or odd function, but when the function is defined differently along different part along the x-axis then I don't understand anything!

    i will use "\int" as integral signs, cause latex seems to be down. uv - \int v*du \int 8x^2cos(2x)*dx u = 8x^2 du = 16x*dx dx = 1/16 dv = cos(2x) v = 1/2sin(2x) plug in what i found for the formula 8x^2*1/2*sin(2x) - \int 1/2*sin(2x)*16x take out the 1/2, because it's a...
