Integration by Parts - Tubular Integration
Integration by Parts:
  1. Tubular Integration: Tubular Integration is a process when more than one application of parts is needed, this process will speed things up.
ex.Â
ò x2 sin x dx
First, break the integral as before, u = x3 and dv = cos x dx. Instead of differentiating once, differentiate until 0 is obtained, Also integrate dv repeatedly, then finally, take the products diagonally, appending +,-,+ or - as shown below, the integral is the sum of the products.
ò x2 sin x dx = - x cos x + 2x sin x + 2 cos x
Sometimes, when integrating by parts, an integral comes up that is similar to the original one, if that is the case, then this expression can be combined with the original.
ex.
ò ex cos x dx
u = ex | dv = cos x dx |
du = ex | dv = sin x |
ex sin x - ( - ex cos x + ò ex cos x dx )
ex sin x + ex cos x - ò ex cos x dx
ò ex cos x dx = ex sin x + ex cos x - ò ex cos x dx;
(Add ò ex cos x dx to both sides:)
2 ò ex cos x dx = ex sin x + ex cos x
The final solution is:
ò ex cos x dx = ½ (ex sin x + ex cos x) + C
