Done by parts integral and simplify

AI Thread Summary
The discussion focuses on integrating the function (x^2)(e^x)dx/((x+2)^2) using integration by parts. Participants suggest simplifying the integral by letting u = (x^2)(e^x) and dv = 1/((x+2)^2). The process involves differentiating u to find du and integrating dv to find v. The integration by parts formula is then applied, leading to a simplified integral. Overall, the method effectively simplifies the integration process.

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?

the easiest way to do this is by parts.
let u=(x^2)(e^x)
let dv = 1/(x+2)^2

get du by differentiating u by x
get v by integrating dv in terms of x

then write out u*v - integral(v*du)
the integral simplifies pretty nicely.
 
Thank You a lot!
 
Kindly see the attached pdf. My attempt to solve it, is in it. I'm wondering if my solution is right. My idea is this: At any point of time, the ball may be assumed to be at an incline which is at an angle of θ(kindly see both the pics in the pdf file). The value of θ will continuously change and so will the value of friction. I'm not able to figure out, why my solution is wrong, if it is wrong .
TL;DR Summary: I came across this question from a Sri Lankan A-level textbook. Question - An ice cube with a length of 10 cm is immersed in water at 0 °C. An observer observes the ice cube from the water, and it seems to be 7.75 cm long. If the refractive index of water is 4/3, find the height of the ice cube immersed in the water. I could not understand how the apparent height of the ice cube in the water depends on the height of the ice cube immersed in the water. Does anyone have an...
