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!
 
Thread 'Collision of a bullet on a rod-string system: query'
In this question, I have a question. I am NOT trying to solve it, but it is just a conceptual question. Consider the point on the rod, which connects the string and the rod. My question: just before and after the collision, is ANGULAR momentum CONSERVED about this point? Lets call the point which connects the string and rod as P. Why am I asking this? : it is clear from the scenario that the point of concern, which connects the string and the rod, moves in a circular path due to the string...
