By Parts formula is used for integrating the product of two functions. This
method is used to find the integrals by reducing them into standard forms.
For example, if we have to find the integration of x sin x, then we need to
use this formula. The integrand is the product of the two functions.
Evaluate ∫lnxx3dx.
∫lnxx3dx=∫x−3lnxdx.
Since this integral contains the algebraic function x−3 and the logarithmic
function lnx, choose u=lnx, since L comes before A in LIATE. After we have
chosen u=lnx, we must choose dv=x−3dx.
Examples
Again,
V = ∫ cox dx
V = sin x
∫u (dv/dx) dx = uv – ∫v (du/dx)dx
Where c is a constant.
Q.2: Find ∫log x dx
Solution: Let us assume here log x is the first function and constant 1 is the
second function. Then the integral of the second function is x. Therefore,
= x log x – x + C
Solution: Let us take ex as first function and sin x as the second function.
I’ = ex sin x – ∫ ex sin x dx
Or
2I = ex (sin x – cos x)
