(2x+7)squareroot(7-x)dx from x=6 to x=7

i've been trying to solve this integral with the integration by parts formula but it wont work.
would appreciate some help.

would like to see the whole solution and not just the answer. (the answer should bee in fractions)

I would like to see some work...

You have to show some work in order to get help here. Let us see what you have tried so far.

(2x+7)squareroot(7-x)dx from x=6 to x=7

u=squareroot(7-x)

u^2=(7-x)
x=7-u^2

dx=-2 du

(2x+7)squareroot(7-x)dx

(2(7-u^2)+7)u dx

(14-2u^2+7)u dx

(21-2u^2)u * -2u

(21-2u^3)*-2u

dont know how to continue from here.

You aren't performing integration by parts to solve this problem, from what I can see.

As l46kok said, what you are doing is not integration by parts. You are trying to integration by substitution from what I can tell.

Here is an article on integration by parts from Wolfram MathWorld:

I've put in some parentheses to make the expression unambiguous.

Now multiply out and integrate each term.

i think i need to see a complete solution to this problem, i've been working on this for three days now and stiill dont understand it completly.

$$\int_{1}^{2}(9x+6)\sqrt{7-3x} dx\$$

Well, (21- 2u^2)(-2udu)

Well, that's NOT integration by parts, it's a straight forward substitution. But it looks to me like you are doing fine. I don't see why you only multiplied one of the "u"s and not both. : (21- 2u^2)(-2u du)= (4u^3- 42u)du. You might want to change the limits of integeration also. When x= 6, what is u? When x= 7 what is u?

i know now how to get it right, thanks for your help.

$$\int_{0}^{\pi /2}sin7xcos6x\hspace{6} dx\\ \\ f=cos6x\hspace{6} F=\frac{sin6x}{6}\\ g'=7cos7x\hspace{6} g=sin7x\\$$
$$\int_{0}^{\pi /2}sin7xcos6x\hspace{6} dx\\ \\ (\frac{1}{6}sin6x)(sin7x)-\int_{0}^{\pi /2}(\frac{1}{6}sin6x)(7cos7x)=\\ \\ (\frac{1}{6}sin6x)(sin7x)-\frac{7}{6}\int_{0}^{\pi /2}(sin6x)(cos7x)\hspace{6}$$
