Your personal IBP Problem

Enter your forum login name into the text box below and hit the “Submit” button. A WebWork problem on Integration by Parts should automagically appear. Your mission is to do the problem and explain how you did it in a forum response.

Be sure to state your problem so that we know that it is! Also, you should strive to avoid decimal approximations in favor of exact numbers - like 1/2 instead of 0.5 - no matter what the “Show Correct Answers” button tells you!

Remember:

  • A function like x\sin(x) should be entered as $x\sin(x)$, and
  • Longer, more complicated expressions should be entered in so-called displaystyle so that it appears in larger font and set-aside, rather than inline - e.g.:
\int_0^{2\pi} \sin(x) dx = 0.

To make that happen you need double dollar signs ($$) with return - i.e., like so:

$$
\int_0^{2\pi} \sin(x) dx = 0.

I’m asked to compute

\int (z+1) e^{8z} dz.

To do so, I’ll choose f(z) = z+1 and g'(z) = e^{8z}.
Then we have f'(z) = 1 and g(z) = e^{8z}/8, so

\int (z+1) e^{8z}dz = (z+1)e^{8z}/8 - \frac{1}{8} \int e^{8z}dz = (z+1)e^{8z}/8 - e^{8z}/64 + C.

My integral was;

\int x\cos(46x)dx.

To start, have f(x)=x and g'(x)=\cos(46x).
Then, f'(x)=1 and g(x)=\frac{1}{46} \sin(46x).

Finally, apply by parts formula; f(x)g(x)- \int f'(x)g(x) and simplify.

\frac{1}{46}x\sin(46x)-\int\frac{1}{46} \sin(46x) = \frac{1}{46}x\sin(46x)-\frac{1}{46}(\frac{1}{46}) \cos(46x)+C
=\frac{1}{46}x\sin(46x)-\frac{1}{2116} \cos(46x)+C.

I got the Problem

\int 8x^2 \cos(2x) dx.

I used f(x) = x^2 and g'(x) = cos(2x).
Which makes f'(x) = 2x and g(x) = \sin(2x)/2, so

\int 8x^2 cos(2x) dx = 8(\frac{1}{2}x^2\sin(2x)-\int x\sin(2x)) = 8(\frac{1}{2}x^2\sin(2x)+\frac{1}{2}x\cos(2x)+\int\frac{1}{2}\cos(2x)
= 8(\frac{1}{2}x^2\sin(2x)+\frac{1}x\cos(2x)-\frac{1}{2}\sin(2x))+C

My integral was:

\int\,{6\,\ln x\over x^{4}}\,dx

When I rewrote it as

\ 6*\int\,{x^{-4}\ln x}\,dx

it became clear that my integral was of the form \int\,{x^{p}\ln x}\,dx.


So, I assigned my parts like this:

\mathrm{let\ }f(x) = \ln x
\mathrm{let\ }g'(x) = x^{-4}


Then I found f'(x) and g(x):

f'(x) = x^{-1}
g(x) = - \frac{1}{3}x^{-3}


I plugged my parts into the IBP formula \int\,UdV = UV - \int\,VdU to get:

6(\ln x* - \frac{1}{3}x^{-3} - \int\,(x^{-1}*-\frac{1}{3}x^{-3}dx))


I simplified the integral:

6(\ln x* - \frac{1}{3}x^{-3} - \int(-\frac{1}{3}x^{-4}dx))


And then solved it with the reverse power rule:

6(\ln x* - \frac{1}{3}x^{-3} - \frac{1}{9}x^{-3})


Then I simplified my answer (because “style counts”):

\ - \frac{6\ln x+2}{3x^{3}}

My Intergal was:

\displaystyle\int xe^{2x} \, dx

I used Intergation by parts with f(x) = x and g'(x)=e^{2x}

with f'(x) = 1 and g(x)=\frac{e^{2x}}{2}

and when plugged into the formula I got \displaystyle\int xe^{2x} \, dx = x\frac{e^{2x}}{2}-\displaystyle\int 1*\frac{e^{2x}}{2} \, dx.

For \frac{e^{2x}}{2} I used u-sub with u= 2x which gave me the integral \frac{1}{4}\displaystyle\int e^{u} \, dx.

The integral of \displaystyle\int e^{u} \, dx is e^u which is e^{2x} after you reverse the subution, so \frac{1}{4}\displaystyle\int e^{u} \, dx = \frac{e^{2x}}{4}.

And thus my answer is x\frac{e^{2x}}{2}-\frac{e^{2x}}{4}+C

My integral was

\int_0^{1} \ te^{-t}\ dt

I first assigned my f(x), f’(x), g’(x) and g(x) values:

f(x)= t \\\\\\ g'(x)=e^{-t} \\\\\\\ f'(x)=1 \\\\\\ g(x)=-e^{-t}

Then, I plugged them into the integration by parts formula:

\int_\ f(x)g'(x)dx =f(x)g(x)- \int_\ f'(x)g(x)dx

Which resulted in:

(t*-e^{-t})- \int_\ -e^{-t}

After simplifying that, I ended up with:

((t*-e^{-t}-e^{-t})

Evaluated from 0 to 1. I cannot figure out how to symbolize this with the coding.

I then used the fundamental theorem of calculus to solve for the bounds of integration:

(1*-e^{-1}-e^{-1})-(0*-e^{0}-e^{0}) = -1e^{-1}-e^{-1}+1

The integral that I received was:

\int_0^{1} \frac {2y}{e^{2y}} dy

after moving the constant the integral became

2\int_0^{1} \frac {y}{e^{2y}} dy

and I chose f(x) = y and g'(x) = e^{-2y}

then the problem becomes f'(y)=1 and g(y)=-\frac{1}{2}{e^{-2y}}

After applying the parts formula f(x)g(x)- \int f'(x)g(x)

2(-\frac{1}{2}{e^{-2y}(y)}-\int-\frac{1}{2} {e^{-2y}}) = 2(-\frac{{e^{-2y}(y)}}{2} - \frac{{e^{-2y}}}{4})

after some simplification the problem becomes

= -{{e^{-2y}(y)}} - \frac{{e^{-2y}}}{2}

Using the Fundamental Theorem of Calculus and evaluating the problem on the integral \int_0^{1}

The final answer equates to

\int_0^{1} \frac {2y}{e^{2y}} dy = -{{e^{-2}}} - \frac{{e^{-2}-1}}{2}

The problem I received was:

\int_1^7t^4ln(2t)dt

The first step is to assign f(x) and g'(x). I opted to assign ln(2t) to f(x) and t^4 to g'(x). Then calculate f'(x) and g(x) which are (1/t) and (1/5)t^5 respectively.

Next combine the parts as stated in IBP to get:

ln(2t)\frac15t^5-\frac15\int_1^7\frac1t(t^5)dt

Clean up the integral by canceling a t:

ln(2t)\frac15t^5-\frac15\int_1^7(t^4)dt

Integrate and you’re left with:

ln(2t)\frac15t^5-\frac15*\frac15(t^5)

Combine and clean up to get:

\frac{t^5ln(2t)}{5}-\frac{t^5}{25}

Now add in the upper and lower bounds to find the final answer:

\left(\frac{(7)^5ln(2(7))}{5}-\frac{(1)^5ln(2(1))}{5}\right)-\left(\frac{(7)^5}{25}-\frac{(1)^5}{25}\right)

If you’re curious, in decimal form this comes out to about 8198.5487 rounded.

I was given

\int (x) e^{3x} dx.

I decided
f(x)=x therfore f'(x)=1 and
g'(x) = e^{{3x}} therfore g(x)= e^{{3x}}/3 so,

\int (x) e^{{3x}} dx =(xe^{{3x}})/3 - \int (e^{{3x}})/3 =
(xe^{{3x}})/3- (e^{{3x}})/9 +C

My problem was:

\int xcos(24x)dx

I made f(x)=x and g'(x)=cos(24x)
This allowed f'(x)=1 and g(x)=\frac{1}{24}sin(24x)

This would allow the equation to be written as
x(\frac{1}{24}sin(24x))-\frac{1}{24}\int sin(24x)dx

Then using u-substitution:
let u=24x and du=24dx making \frac{1}{24}du=dx

This makes the second half of the equation look like this:
\frac{1}{24}\int sin(u)\frac{1}{24}du

Then after rearranging the equation it should look like this:
\frac{1}{24}(\frac{1}{24}\int sin(u)du)

To simplify:
\frac{1}{576}\int sin(u)du

Then take then integral to get:
\frac{1}{576}-cos(u)

Then plug in u to get:
\frac{1}{576}-cos(24x)

To get the final answer, plug the answer from the u-sub problem into the integral by parts problem:
\frac{1}{24}xsin(24x)+\frac{1}{576}cos(24x)+C

I was given:

\int\ (z+1)e^{5z} dz

To do this, I chose:
\ u= z + 1 and \ dv= e^{5z}
Therefore, \ du=dz, and \ v = (1/5)e^{5z}

From there, I used the formula \int\ udv = uv - \int\ vdu

So I plugged in those values to get:

\ (1/5)(z+1)e^{5z}-(1/5)\int\ e^{5z}dz+C

then solved the simpler integral to find the solution:

\int\ (z+1)e^{5z} dz=(1/5)(z+1)e^{5z}-(1/25)e^{5z}+C

My integral was:

\int_1^4 2\sqrt(t)\ln(t) dt

I choose f(t)=ln(t) and g'(t)=\sqrt(t). So we also have f'(t)=\frac1t and g(t)=\frac23 \sqrt(t^3).
Now we use our formula f(t)g(t)-\int f'(t)g(t) and so we have
2(\frac23 ln(t)\sqrt(t^3) - \int \frac23 \sqrt(t) dt) which can be simplified into
(\frac43ln(t)\sqrt(t^3) - \frac89 \sqrt(t^3)
