Integration by Parts is a method of integration used in calculus to find the integral of a product of two functions.
Integration by Parts is used when the integral of a function cannot be easily found using other methods, such as substitution or partial fractions.
The method of Integration by Parts involves using the formula ∫u dv = uv - ∫v du, where u and v are two functions. This formula allows us to reduce the complexity of an integral by differentiating one function and integrating the other.
The steps for using Integration by Parts are:
1. Identify the two functions in the integral, u and dv.
2. Choose which function to differentiate and which one to integrate. This is usually done by applying the acronym "LIATE" (Logarithmic, Inverse trigonometric, Algebraic, Trigonometric, Exponential).
3. Use the formula ∫u dv = uv - ∫v du to simplify the integral.
4. Continue this process until the resulting integral can be easily evaluated.
The most common mistake made when using Integration by Parts is not choosing the correct functions to differentiate and integrate. This can result in a more complicated integral or an incorrect answer. It is important to carefully choose the functions and to practice identifying them correctly.
