A. LESSON PREVIEW/REVIEW
1) Introduction (2 mins)

In the previous lessons, you learned the fundamentals of integration and the application of the Substitution
Rule u  Substituti on in evaluating not only the indefinite integrals but the definite integrals as well. In today’s
lesson, you will learn a technique for using the basic rules to obtain the integrals of more complicated
integrands. This technique corresponds to the Product Rule of differentiation and is called the rule for
integration by parts (IBP).
In your study on integration techniques, it is expected that you have already acquired sufficient knowledge not
only on the fundamental rules and formulas but more importantly, on their applications.

B.MAIN LESSON
1) Activity 2: Content Notes (13 mins)

Integration by parts (IBP) is a technique for integrating products of functions. It is frequently used when the
basic integration rules won’t work or when the function to be evaluated is the product of two simpler functions.
It permits integration of products involving algebraic and transcendental functions such as x cos x , x ln x , x 2 e x ,
and e x sin x to mention a few.
Now, let us consider the product rule for differentiation and derive from it this important integration technique.
The product rule for differentiation states that if u x  and vx  are differentiable functions of , then
d uv   udv  vdu.
A little rearrangement gives
udv  d uv   vdu.
Integrating both sides of the equation
 udv   d uv    vdu.
Gives us
 udv  uv   vdu.
This gives us a technique for integration called INTEGRATION by PARTS (IBP), which allows us to integrate
many products of functions of x. We take one factor in this product to be u while the other factor is taken to be
dv. Note that our aim in using IBP is to obtain a simpler integral than the one we started with, that is, vdu 

must be easier to evaluate than udv . The key point here is having correct choices in assigning a function as
u and the differential of another function as dv .
The acronym ILATE (which stands for inverse trigonometric, logarithmic, algebraic, trigonometric, and
exponential expressions) can guide us in giving preferences on what function is to be assigned as u , i.e., we
have to choose u according to what function comes first in the acronym. For example, to evaluate x cos xdx
we prefer to assign the algebraic expression x as u , and the trigonometric expression cos xdx as dv . We then

have du  dx and v  sin x so that using the IBP formula udv  uv  vdu , 
 x cos xdx  x sin x   sin xdx
 x cos xdx  x sin x  cos x  C .

Now, assigning the other way around will make the integral more complicated and the integration process
more difficult.
Let's look at the steps involved when using integration by parts.
1. Choose u and dv correctly (use the acronym ILATE as guide)
2. Obtain the differential of u , that is, du , and the integral of dv , that is, v .
3. Plug u , v , du , dv into the integration according to the parts formula
 udv  uv   vdu and simplify.


Let's apply these steps to evaluate ln xdx . We know our two functions are ln x and 1. Since the derivative of
ln x is well-known as , it would probably be a good idea to let ln x . Similarly, the integral of 1 is well-
known as , where is a constant. Thus, we will let . It's important to note that we don't include
the constants when finding different integrals during the solving process. This is because the constants that
would show up throughout will all be taken care of at the end of the process when we have our final constant.

dx
Assign = ln x and So = and
x

At this point, we've actually completed steps 1 and 2, and we have our , and . All we have to do now
is plug the results into our formula and simplify.

dx
 ln xdx  x ln x   x x

 ln xdx  x ln x  x  C

2
Example1.
Solve 1
x 5 x 3  1dx

Let u  x 5 , du  5x 4 dx , dv  x 3  1dx

However, as with the previous example this won’t work since we can’t easily compute v. This is not an easy
integral to do. However, notice that if we had an x 2 in the integral along with the root we could very easily do
the integral with a substitution. Also notice that we do have a lot of floating around in the original integral.
So instead of putting all the (outside of the root) in the , let’s split them up as follows.

Example 2. Evaluate: cos xdx
so du   sin xdx v  ex

Using the formula  udv  uv   vdu.

e cos xdx  e X cos x    e x sin xdx

e cos xdx  e x cos x   e x sin xdx

So, it looks like we’ll do integration by parts again. Here are our choices this time

let u  sin x dv  e x dx
du  cos xdx v  e x So,


 e cos xdx  e cos x  e sin x   e cos xdx


Notice that we now have the same integral on both sides and on the right side it’s got a minus sign in front of it.
This means that we can add the integral to both sides to get,

e cos xdx   e x cos xdx  e x cos x  e x sin x

FAQs

1. When are you going to use integration by parts (IBP)?

IBP is frequently used when the basic integration rules won’t work or when the function to be evaluated is the
product of two simpler functions.

2. How are we going to derive the integration by parts formula? From the differential of a product
d uv   udv  vdu
udv  d uv   vdu,
then integrating
 udv   d uv    vdu,
gives us the IBP technique
 udv  uv   vdu.

3. What are the steps involved when using integration by parts?

Steps involved when using integration by parts:
1. Choose u and dv correctly (use the acronym ILATE as guide)
2. Obtain the differential of u , that is, du , and the integral of dv , that is, v .
3. Plug u , v , du , dv into the integration according to the parts formula
 udv  uv   vdu and simplify.
