Math1325 Lecture 13 6
TLDRLecture 13.6, titled 'Integration by Parts,' concludes the course Math 1325 Calculus for Business and Social Science. The lecture introduces integration by parts, a technique used for integrating products of functions. The formula is derived from the product rule for differentiation, rearranged to isolate the derivative of the product of two functions, U and V. The process involves identifying U and DV, taking their derivatives and integrals, and applying the formula \( \int U \, dV = UV - \int V \, dU \). The lecture provides examples, including the integral of \( x \cdot e^x \), and discusses the 'table method' as an alternative approach, particularly useful for power functions. The importance of choosing the correct U and DV is emphasized with the acronym 'LAZY DOG': Logarithms, Algebraic (polynomials), sYstems (radicals), and eXponentials. The lecture concludes with a complex example requiring multiple applications of integration by parts and highlights the table method's utility in solving such problems. The summary acknowledges the completion of the course and wishes students success in their final assessments.
Takeaways
- 📚 **Integration by Parts**: A technique used for integrating products of functions, derived from the product rule of differentiation.
- ✅ **Product Rule Rearranged**: The formula for integration by parts comes from rearranging the product rule to isolate one function times the derivative of the other.
- 🔍 **Identifying Parts**: To apply integration by parts, identify 'U' and 'DV' such that 'U' is integrated and 'DV' is differentiated.
- 📉 **Derivative of U (DU)**: After choosing 'U', find its derivative 'DU' which will be part of the integral to evaluate.

Q & A
What is integration by parts and when is it used?
-Integration by parts is a technique used in calculus when dealing with integrals that involve the product of two functions. It's particularly useful when trying to integrate a product where one part can be easily integrated and the other can be easily differentiated.
What is the formula for integration by parts?
-The formula for integration by parts is given by ∫udv = uv - ∫vdu, where u and v are functions of the variable of integration, and du and dv are their respective derivatives.
How do you choose the function u in integration by parts?
-To choose the function u in integration by parts, you should follow the acronym LIP (Lazy, In, Polynomial, Rarely, Exponential): first look for logarithms, then polynomials or powers, rarely radicals, and finally exponential functions.
What is the table method for integration by parts?
-The table method is an alternative approach to integration by parts that involves creating a two-column table. The first column is for the derivatives of u (labeled D), and the second column is for the integrals of dv (labeled I). You then add and subtract the products of the diagonals to find the integral.
How does the table method work with logarithmic functions?
-With logarithmic functions, the table method is similar but stops once all logarithms are eliminated from the u function. The bottom row of the table is treated as an integral and used in the final calculation.
What is the product rule for differentiation?
-The product rule for differentiation states that the derivative of a product of two functions u(x) and v(x) is given by du/dx * v(x) + u(x) * dv/dx, where du/dx and dv/dx are the derivatives of u and v, respectively.
How do you integrate the function e^x * x?
-To integrate e^x * x, you would use integration by parts, setting u = x and dv = e^x dx. Then you find du = 1 dx and v = e^x. Applying the formula, you get x * e^x - ∫e^x dx, and the integral of e^x is e^x, leading to the final answer of x * e^x - e^x + C.
What is the chain rule in calculus?
-The chain rule is a method for finding the derivative of a composite function. If you have a function that is composed of two functions, say u(x) = (v(x))^n, then the derivative du/dx is given by n * v(x)^(n-1) * dv/dx.
Why might you need to perform integration by parts more than once?
-You might need to perform integration by parts more than once if the result of the first integration by parts still contains a product that requires integration by parts. This can happen when the integral of the product results in a function that matches the form of the original integral.
What is the purpose of the acronym LIP for choosing u in integration by parts?
-The acronym LIP (Lazy, In, Polynomial, Rarely, Exponential) is a mnemonic device to help remember the order in which to select the function u for integration by parts: first consider logarithms, then polynomials or powers, rarely radicals, and finally exponential functions.
How do you know when to stop using the table method for integration by parts?
-You stop using the table method for integration by parts when you reach a row where the derivative of u is zero. This indicates that you have differentiated u enough times to complete the method.
What is the final step in the table method for integration by parts?
-The final step in the table method for integration by parts is to add and subtract the products of the diagonals of the table, starting with the first diagonal and alternating signs thereafter.

🎓 Introduction to Integration by Parts
This paragraph introduces the concept of integration by parts, a technique used in calculus for integrating products of functions. The lecturer explains the formula by relating it to the product rule for differentiation. The key formula presented is ∫udv = uv - ∫vdu, where u and dv are chosen parts of the integral expression. An example is provided using the product of x and e^x, and the process of identifying u, dv, du, and v is demonstrated. The paragraph concludes with the mention of an alternative method known as the table method, which is particularly useful for power functions.
📚 The Table Method for Integration
The second paragraph delves into the table method, an alternative approach to integration by parts. It describes how to set up a two-column table to systematically integrate complex functions. The method involves differentiating the first column and integrating the second column, then adding and subtracting the products of alternative diagonals. The paragraph also discusses the importance of choosing the correct u and dv for successful integration. An acronym, 'LAZY DOG', is introduced to help remember the order of preference for choosing u: Logarithms, Algebraic (polynomials), Radicals, Exponential, and then the remaining function is dv. The paragraph concludes with a note on the effectiveness of the table method for more complex integrals.
🔍 Choosing U and DV in Integration by Parts
This paragraph focuses on the process of selecting u and dv in integration by parts. It emphasizes the importance of making the right choice to ensure a successful integration. The paragraph provides a detailed example involving the natural log function, where the natural log is chosen as u and the rest as dv. The process of finding du and v is explained, and the integration by parts formula is applied to find the integral. The paragraph also touches on the use of the table method for logarithmic functions, noting that it can be slightly more complex and may not always simplify the process as it does for power functions.
🧮 The Power of the Table Method for Power Functions
The final paragraph discusses the application of the table method for power functions, which can be more intricate. The lecturer demonstrates the process of integrating a power function, such as x^2 * e^(2x), using the table method. It is shown that the table method can be particularly useful when dealing with power functions that are more complex or involve higher degrees. The paragraph concludes with a summary of the lecture and a congratulatory message to the students for completing the course, along with well wishes for their final assessments.
