Okay, with this problem doing the “standard” method of integration by parts (i.e. picking u and
dv and using the formula) would take quite a bit of time. So, this looks like a good problem to
use the table that we saw in the notes to shorten the process up.

Here is the table for this problem.

Here’s the integral for this problem,
