Integration By Parts

With the substitution rule, we've begun building our bag of tricks for integration. Now let's learn another one that is extremely useful, and that's integration by parts. Let's learn how this rule was derived and then get some practice using it! You're gonna love it.

I'm a SW developer, watching math videos on youtube on my spare time. This was a great and clear presentation. Thank you.

[@teji_teji_]

I love your teaching style so much. I literally have an exam today and I was sure I was going to fail because I had no idea what i was doing. Your videos brought me up to speed and now i'm confident that I at least won't fail. I wish I found you earlier because calculus 2 felt very hard and difficult to understand so I avoided the subject entirely. Now you make me think calculus is easy. Really regretting not finding you earlier. Would have had time to do more practice problems before my test.

Great video! I love how you really take your time to go through the steps clear and thoroughly so that it's evident what to do/not do. Thank you!

[@naughtyboybryan9287]

For anyone out there still watching this, a good rule of thumb for deciding what is "u" use this: LIATE which means Logs. Inverse. Algebra (anything with x or y). Trig. Exponents. this will change your life.

[@naughtyboybryan9287]

Follow that order in your function when deciding

It is very important to choose the right u in the formula. My professor wants us to memorize LIATE. It is an acronym meaning Logarithms, Inverses, Algebraic (polynomials), Trig, and exponentials. The best values for u are to the left and the worst to the right. Go from right to left for the best values of dv.

Could you please clarify that for me... ?Thank you

[@carultch]

You assign a function to be differentiated, and a function to be integrated. The integrated function doesn't show up in the final result, unless it comes back around again in the cycle. I like to construct a table, with columns S for alternating signs, D for differentiation, and I for integration. For Dave's example, this is an ender. We construct rows until we get a zero in the D-column. S _ _ _ D _ _ _ I + _ _ 3*x _ _ cos(x) - _ _ _ 3 _ _ _ sin(x) + _ _ _ 0 _ _ - cos(x) Connect the S-column and D-column together, and then the I-column from the next row down. 3*x*sin(x) + 3*cos(x)

[@danielwalker2381]

@@ProfessorDaveExplains It makes sense nvm lol

[@RicoRodriguezIII]

Wait, what? How can you assign dv = dx while integrating ln(x)? In an earlier video, you said that dx by itself is meaningless - ostensibly this is referring to the fact that it represents an infinitesimal and is just part of the notation. But here, you're treating it as a quantity that can be operated on. How can that be justified?

[@carultch]

dx is not meaningless when it is part of an integral. Integrating an unwritten integrand by dx, has a de-facto meaning that your integrand is 1. What is the integral of a constant?

[@teothedoor]

Professor, why the second answer is 3xsin + 3cos + C instead of 3xsin - 3sin + C? Where u = 3x, dv = cosx dx, v = sinx, du = 3 dx?

[@carultch]

Given: integral 3*x cos(x) dx Pull the 3 out in front as a constant, and assign x to be the function differentiated. Construct the integration by parts table, with S for signs, D for differentiate, and I for integrate. Fill column S with alternating signs, starting on plus. Differentiate down column D, and integrate down column I. S ___ D ___ I + ___ x ___ cos(x) - ___ 1 ___ sin(x) + ___ 0 ___ -cos(x) Connect each sign with the entry in column D, and the next entry down in column I. Integrate across the final row, which in this case, it is a trivial integral of zero, since this integral is an ender. +x*sin(x) - 1*-cos(x) - integral 0*cos(x) dx Simplify: x*sin(x) + cos(x) Recall the constant of 3, add +C and we're done: 3*x*sin(x) + 3*cos(x) + C

[@HarryPotter-yi7xu]

[@user-rp8ij8pm7l]

In essence

[@elvykamunyokomanunebo1441]

how come @7:20 distributing the negative sign does not yield a " -C " ?

[@ba-wp5zs]

The +c can generally be ignored in cases like this, as the constant is still just some arbitrary constant. For example, there is no need to have -c or +2c or things like that when you might think it necessary, as it is still just some unimportant arbitrary number that we don't know and remains a constant.

[@carultch]

You don't need to carry the arbitrary constant at intermediate steps. You just need to find *A* function, that is the integral of the function to be integrated, at the intermediate steps. When you get to the end, you add a master +C. You can account for a different +C at every step along the way, and you'll eventually see that they all combine into a single one. As an example, consider integral x^2 * e^x dx S ____ D ____ I + ____ x^2 __ e^x - ____ 2*x ___ e^x + C1 + ____ 2 ____ e^x + C1*x + C2 - _____ 0 ____ e^x + 1/2*C1*x^2 + C2*x + C3 Construct result: x^2*(e^x + C1) - 2*x *(e^x + C1*x + C2) + 2*(e^x + 1/2*C1*x^2 + C2*x + C3) Expand: x^2*e^x - 2*x*e^x + 2*e^x + [C1*x^2] - [2*C1*x^2 + 2*C2*x] + [C1*x^2 + 2*C2*x + 2*C3] Cancel terms that add up to zero: x^2*e^x - 2*x*e^x + 2*e^x + 2*C3 Let C = 2*C3, and we get our familiar result, had we just waited until the end to add +C: x^2*e^x - 2*x*e^x + 2*e^x + C

[@carultch]

There are some cases where you can strategically add a non-zero arbitrary constant at intermediate steps. An example where this works, is integral x*arctan(x) dx. I'll call it B, to avoid confusing it with the C we add at the end. S ___ D ____________ I + ___ arctan(x) ____ x - ___ 1/(x^2 + 1) ___ 1/2*x^2 + B Construct IBP result: (1/2*x^2 + B)*arctan(x) - 1/2*integral (x^2 + B)/(x^2 + 1) dx We can strategically let B = 1, so that we can cancel the term in the integral and make it a simple integral of a constant. (x^2 + 1)*arctan(x) - 1/2*integral 1 dx Carry out the trivial integral, add +C, and we're done: (1/2*x^2 + 1)*arctan(x) - x/2 + C

[@matthewmcfarlane7612]

8:20 "integrating x to the negative 2" isnt that dx over x squared? why does the dx get treated like a 1?

[@ProfessorDaveExplains]

same thing, raising something to a negative exponent is the same as making the exponent positive but putting the term in the denominator

[@ghostedspartan0439]

It’s treated like one since the derivative of x is one and dx stands for the derivative of x

[@Kellnaved]

Can somebody explain to me where the dx part comes from when I differenciate u to get du?

[@carultch]

Let u equal an arbitrary function of x: u = f(x) Take the derivative to find du/dx: du/dx = f'(x) Treat the Leibnitz notation as a fraction, and multiply by dx to clear this fraction: du = f'(x) dx

[@pizzag1940]

Where does the c go when you find the g(x) as -cosx? maybe it gets explained just noting

[@bathtubanarchy]

You just slap the + C on at the end after you've done everything else. It's explained properly at the start of the evaluating indefinite integrals video.

[@carultch]

You could account for a different +C at each intermediate step along the way, if you really want to. But we don't need to, because if you do so, you'll find that all of them cancel, except the final constant. So to keep it simple, just let the intermediate constants be zero, since all we need is *AN* integral at each stage along the way. There are some examples where it is strategic to keep your constant at the intermediate step, such as integral x*arctan(x) dx. If we just integrate x to get 1/2*x^2, we'll end up with: (1/2*x^2)*arctan(x) - 1/2*integral (x^2)/(x^2 + 1) dx But, what if we keep a constant of integration at the intermediate step, which I'll call B. Then we get: (1/2*x^2 + B)*arctan(x) - 1/2*integral (x^2 + B)/(x^2 + 1) dx Let B = 1, and now we can cancel the term inside the integral. (1/2*x^2 + 1)*arctan(x) - 1/2*integral (x^2 + 1)/(x^2 + 1) dx (1/2*x^2 + 1)*arctan(x) - 1/2*integral 1 dx Result: (1/2*x^2 + 1)*arctan(x) - 1/2*x + C

[@anastasiaanautodidact9856]

so Professor, I have a question; in the substitution rule (reversal of chain rule), in my textbook & even your lecture, there happened to be a question like that: integrand = x^2 (x^3 +2)^1/2 x^2 wasn't exactly or directly the derivative of x^3 ... probably because if we directly derived the original function, the derivative or slope should've looked like this 3X^2 times 2/3 times 1/2 (x^3+2)^1/2 ,,, yet however in the given integral, it comes rather simplified like that: x^2 (x^3 +2)^1/2 & the outer function looks as tho it isn't the derivative of the inner function, therefore we get perplexed whether we should use substitution or integration by parts! so how can we solve this problematic point? how do we know when to choose what? [did those by logic & damaged some brain cells XD]

[@jayjaycanlas5963]

how to solve this ? integral ln^2xdx

[@carultch]

Split the ln^2(x) into ln(x)*ln(x) Assign u to equal the first ln(x). Assing dv to be ln(x)*x u = ln(x) dv = ln(x) dx du = 1/x dx v = x*ln(x) - x, which we can also determine with integration by parts Reconstruct: integral u*dv = u*v - integral v*du ln(x)*(x*ln(x) - x) - integral (x*ln(x) - x))*1/x * dx Simplify: ln(x)*(x*ln(x) - x) - integral (ln(x) - x) * dx Split the difference integrand into two integrations ln(x)*(x*ln(x) - x) - integral ln(x) dx + integral x dx Carry out the two integrations: ln(x)*(x*ln(x) - x) - (x*ln(x) - x) + 1/2*x^2 + C Factor like terms: (ln(x) - 1)*(x*ln(x) - x) + 1/2*x^2 + C

[@ProfessorDaveExplains]

That's what the examples are for.

[@carultch]

A rule of thumb for how to determine what kind of function should be assigned to u, is "LIATE". Logarithms, Inverse Trig, Algebraic, Trigonometric, Exponentials. Logarithms and inverse trig should get priority to be u. Exponentials and original trig are most likely assigned to dv. Algebraic terms could go either way, although with roots, it is usually of interest to prioritize them to be u, while with positive integer power terms, it is best to assign them to dv. Generally, the function that is more complex to integrate, is what should be assigned to u, so that the simpler part of the integrand to integrate, becomes dv.
