Solve Integration by Parts Questions: Part I & II

In summary, integration by parts is a method used to solve integrals that are in the form of a product of two functions. This technique involves breaking down the integral into two parts, one of which is differentiated and the other integrated. The formula for integration by parts is u dv = uv - ∫ v du, where u represents the differentiated part and v represents the integrated part. This method is particularly useful for integrals involving logarithmic, trigonometric, and exponential functions. Part I of integration by parts involves using the formula directly, while Part II involves using a tabular method to simplify the process. Overall, integration by parts allows for the evaluation of more complex integrals and is a valuable tool in solving various mathematical problems.

I am stuck with 2 questions.

The Attempt at a Solution


1.
I take u= (4-x)^(1/2)
dv = xdx
du = 1/2* (4-x)^(-1/2)
v= (x^2)/2
I get stuck at

((x^2)/2)*(4-x)^(1/2)- ∫[(x^2)dx/4*(4-x)^(1/2)2. I take u= (arcsin x)^2 dv=dx or 1
du= (2arcsin x)/((1-x^2)^(1/2)]
v=x

so

x(arcsin x)^2 -2 ∫[(x arcsin x dx)/(1-x^2)^(1/2)]

I don't know what to do after that.

How do I solve the red.

Try [itex]u=x[/itex] and [itex]dv=\sqrt{4-x}dx[/itex] instead:wink:

Try by parts once more, this time use [itex]u=\arcsin(x)[/itex] and [itex]dv=\frac{x}{\sqrt{1-x^2}}dx[/itex]

A much simpler approach is to let u = 4 - x, so du = -dx.
The indefinite integral becomes
[tex]\int -(4 - u)u^{1/2}du = -\int (4u^{1/2} - u^{3/2})du[/tex]

After you have an antiderivative, undo the substitution and use your limits of integration. You should always check to see if an ordinary substitution will get the job done before bringing in the big guns, such as integration by parts.

Related to Solve Integration by Parts Questions: Part I & II

What is integration by parts?

Integration by parts is a technique used in calculus to solve integrals by breaking them down into simpler integrals. It is based on the product rule from differentiation and involves choosing which part of the integral to differentiate and which part to integrate.

What is the formula for integration by parts?

The formula for integration by parts is ∫u dv = uv - ∫v du, where u and v are functions and du and dv are their respective differentials.

How do you choose which part to differentiate and which part to integrate in integration by parts?

The general rule is to choose u as the part of the integral that will become simpler when differentiated, and dv as the part that can be easily integrated. This often involves choosing u as a polynomial, algebraic function, or inverse trigonometric function, and dv as an exponential, logarithmic, or trigonometric function.

What is the difference between integration by parts and substitution?

Integration by parts is used to solve integrals that involve products of functions, while substitution is used to solve integrals that involve nested functions. In integration by parts, the product rule is used, while in substitution, the chain rule is used.

What are some common mistakes to avoid when using integration by parts?

One common mistake is not choosing the correct u and dv. It is important to choose them in a way that simplifies the integral. Another mistake is forgetting to include the integration constant when integrating the dv portion. Finally, it is important to double check the final answer with the original integral to ensure accuracy.
