Homework Statement



Let [tex]f[/tex] be twice differentiable with [tex]f(0)=6, f(1)=5,[/tex] [tex]f'(1)=2[/tex]
Evaluate the integral [tex]\int_0^{1}x f''(x) dx[/tex]


Homework Equations



[tex]\int uv' dx = uv = \int u'v dx[/tex]

The Attempt at a Solution



u = x and v' = f''(x)
so
u' = 1dx and v = f'(x)
so

[tex]xf'(x) - \int_0^{1}f'(x) dx[/tex]

from here I am not sure what to do... maybe parts again...
u = 1dx and v' = f'(x)
so
u' = 0? and v = f(x) //derivative of 1dx is 0 right?
so

[tex]xf'(x) - f(x) - \int_0^{1} 0 dx[/tex] ?

i really don't know. any help would be awesome!
 
Physics news on Phys.org
[tex]\int_0^1 f'(x)dx = f(1) - f(0)[/tex] ??
 
wow that's awesome. now i feel retarded haha.
but seriosuly... thanks gabba!
