Integration by parts

In calculus, and more generally in mathematical analysis, integration by

parts or partial integration is a process that finds the integral of a
product of functions in terms of the integral of the product of their
derivative and antiderivative.

You will see plenty of examples soon, but first let us see the rule:

∫ 𝑢 𝑣 𝑑𝑥 = 𝑢∫ 𝑣 𝑑𝑥 − ∫ 𝑢′ (∫ 𝑣 𝑑𝑥) 𝑑𝑥

• 𝒖 is the function u(x)

• 𝒗 is the function v(x)
𝒅
• 𝒖′ or 𝒖 is the derivative of the function u(x)
𝒅𝒙

The integral of the product of two functions = (first function) ×

(integral of the second function) – Integral of [(differential coefficient
of the first function) × (integral of the second function)]

For definite integral

Note:

• Integration by parts is not applicable for functions such as ∫ √x sin

x dx.
• We do not add any constant while finding the integral of the
second function.
• Usually, if any function is a power of x or a polynomial in x, then
we take it as the first function. However, in cases where another
 function is an inverse trigonometric function or logarithmic
function, then we take them as first function.

How to Find Integration by Part

Integration by part is used to find the integration of the product of two
functions. We can achieve this using the steps discussed below:
Suppose we have to simplify ∫uv dx
Step 1: Choose the first and the second function according to the
ILATE rule (Inverse → Logarithmic → Algebraic → Trigonometric →
Exponential). Suppose we take u as the first function and v as the
second function.
Step 2: Differentiate u(x) with respect to x that is, Evaluate du/dx.
Step 3: Integrate v(x) with respect to x that is, Evaluate ∫v dx.
Use the results obtained in Step 1 and Step 2 in the formula,
∫ 𝒖𝒗 𝒅𝒙 = 𝒖∫ 𝒗 𝒅𝒙 − ∫ {(𝒅𝒖/𝒅𝒙)∫ 𝒗 𝒅𝒙} 𝒅𝒙

Step 4: Simplify the above formula to get the required integration.

Evaluate the following integrals:

19. ∫ 𝑒 2𝑥 ( ) 𝑑𝑥 20. ∫ 𝑒 𝑥 𝑑𝑥

Note-1: Multiple of 𝑒 𝑥 is divided into two parts such that one part is the
differential coefficient of the other part.

∫ 𝑒 𝑥 {𝑓(𝑥 ) + 𝑓 ′ (𝑥 )}𝑑𝑥 = 𝑒 𝑥 𝑓(𝑥 ) + 𝑐
