I. Guidelines for Selecting u and dv:
(There are always exceptions, but these are generally helpful.)
L-I-A-T-E Choose u to be the function that comes first in this list:
L: Logrithmic Function
I: Inverse Trig Function
A: Algebraic Function
T: Trig Function
E: Exponential Function
Example A: x 3 ln x dx
*Since lnx is a logarithmic function and x 3 is an algebraic
function, let:
u = lnx

(L comes before A in LIATE)

II. Alternative General Guidelines for Choosing u and dv:


A.
Let dv be the most complicated portion of the integrand
that can be easily integrated.
B.
Let u be that portion of the integrand whose derivative du is a
simpler function than u itself.
Example:

4 x 2 dx

*Since both of these are algebraic functions, the LIATE Rule of


Thumb is not helpful. Applying Part (A) of the alternative
guidelines above, we see that x 4 x 2 is the most complicated part
of the integrand that can easily be integrated. Therefore:
dv = x 4 x 2 dx
u = x 2 (remaining factor in integrand)

du = 2 x dx

(2 x)(4 x 2 )1 / 2 dx

III. Using repeated Applications of Integration by Parts:


Sometimes integration by parts must be repeated to obtain an answer.

Note: DO NOT switch choices for u and dv in successive applications.

Example:

sin x dx

u = x 2 (Algebraic Function)
dv = sin x dx (Trig Function)
du = 2 x dx
v = sin x dx = cos x

sin x dx = uv vdu
= x 2 ( cos x)

cos x

= x 2 cos x + 2

2 x dx

cos x dx

Second application of integration by parts:

u = x (Algebraic function) (Making same choices for u and dv)


dv = cos x (Trig function)
du = dx

v = cos x dx = sin x

sin x dx = x 2 cos x + 2 [uv vdu ]


= x 2 cos x + 2 [ x sin x sin x dx]
= x 2 cos x + 2 [ x sin x + cos x + c]
= x 2 cos x + 2 x sin x + 2 cos x + c

Note:

Example:

After each application of integration by parts, watch for the


appearance of a constant multiple of the original integral.

cos x dx
u = cos x (Trig function)

dv = e x dx (Exponential function)
du = sin x dx
v = e x dx = e x

cos x dx = uv vdu
= cos x e x e x ( sin x) dx
= cos x e x + e x sin x dx

Second application of integration by parts:

u = sin x (Trig function) (Making same choices for u and dv)

dv = e x dx (Exponential function)
du = cos x dx
v = e x dx = e x

e
e

cos x dx = e x cos x + (uv vdu )


cos x dx = e x cos x + sin x e x e x cos x dx

Note appearance of original integral on right side of equation. Move to left side
and solve for integral as follows:

2 e x cos x dx = e x cos x + e x sin x + C

cos x dx =

1 x
(e cos x + e x sin x) + C
