SUMMARY

The forum discussion centers on solving the integral $$\int \frac{xe^{2x}}{(1+2x)^2}dx$$ using integration by parts. The solution involves setting $$u = \frac{-1}{1+2x}$$ and $$dv = xe^{2x}dx$$, leading to the final result of $$\frac{e^{2x}}{4+8x}+c$$. Additionally, participants discuss other integrals requiring techniques like partial fractions and reduction, emphasizing the importance of understanding integration methods for upcoming tests.

Well, you need to change your differential and limits in accordance with the substitution...we have let:

$$\frac{1}{y}=8\tan(\theta)\,\therefore\,y=\frac{1}{8}\cot(\theta)\,\therefore\,dy=-\frac{1}{8}\csc^2(\theta)\,d\theta$$

Now, from our substitution, we find:

$$\theta=\tan^{-1}\left(\frac{1}{8y}\right)$$

and so we use this to change our limits from $y$'s to $\theta$'s.

Can you put all of this together to express the remaining integral in terms of $\theta$?
