Integration By Parts: uv-Substitution - 9.2

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The discussion focuses on the integration of the function \( y^3 e^{-9y} \) using the integration by parts method and \( u \)-substitution. The initial substitution \( u = y^3 \) leads to the differential \( \frac{1}{3} du = y^2 dx \) and \( dv = e^{-9y} dx \) with \( v = e^{-9y} \). A more effective approach is suggested by substituting \( z = 9y \), transforming the integral into \( \int z^3 e^{-z} dz \), which simplifies the integration process. The final result of the integral is expressed as \( \frac{(243y^3 + 81y^2 + 18y + 2)e^{-9y}}{2187} \).

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of integration techniques, specifically integration by parts.
  • Familiarity with \( u \)-substitution in calculus.
  • Knowledge of exponential functions and their integrals.
  • Basic algebraic manipulation skills for handling integrals.
NEXT STEPS
  • Study the method of integration by parts in detail, focusing on its applications.
  • Learn advanced \( u \)-substitution techniques for complex integrals.
  • Explore the properties of exponential functions and their derivatives.
  • Practice solving integrals involving products of polynomials and exponential functions.
USEFUL FOR

Students of calculus, mathematics educators, and anyone looking to deepen their understanding of integration techniques, particularly in the context of exponential functions and polynomial products.

$\tiny{9.2}$
\begin{align*} \displaystyle
I&=\int y^3e^{-9y} \, dx\\
\textit{uv substitution}\\
u&=y^3\therefore \frac{1}{3}du=y^2dx\\
dv&=e^{-9y}\, dx\therefore v=e^{-9y}\\
\end{align*}
will stop there this looks like tabular method better

I moved your post to a new thread...:D

Did you intend for the integrand to be a function of $y$ while the differential is $dx$?

opps should have started a new thread
I'd start off with the substitution z = 9y. Then the original integral becomes:
[math]\int y^3 ~ e^{-9y} ~ dy = \left ( \frac{1}{9} \right )^4 \int z^3 e^{-z}~dz[/math]

Now do your integration by parts.

not sure about this
\begin{array}{rcl}
u&&v\\
z^3 &+&e^{-z} \\
&↘&\\
3z^2&- &e^{-z}\\
&↘&\\
6z &+ &e^{-z} \\
&↘&\\
6&-&e^{-z}
\end{array}

$\textsf{substitute $z=9y$}\\$
$$\dfrac{\left(243y^3+81y^2+18y+2\right)\mathrm{e}^{-9y}}{2187}$$
