the function is c = 15te-.2t the goal is to integrate it from t = 0 to t = 3 so to set up the integral i took out the 15 first so i got: 15 * integral from 0 to 3 of t*e-.2t i set u = t and so du = dt dv = e-.2tdt so v= -5e-.2t so following the integration by parts formula i got...

the problem is find the integral of xarctan(x^2)dx i set w = x^2, so 1/2dw = xdx then i plug that into the integral to get the integral of 1/2arctan(w)dw so i let u = arctan(w) and dv = dw so du = dw/(1+w^2) and v = w so then the integral of udv = uv - integral of vdu so...

Hi all. I've recently learned a shortcut for integration by parts, but don't know what it's called or where it comes from. The trick is to find \lambda such that f'' = \lambda f and \mu such that g'' = \mu g, providing both are constants and \lambda\neq\mu. Then \intf(x)g(x)dx =...
