Paper For Above instruction

The use of integration by parts is a fundamental technique in calculus, especially useful for integrating products of functions such as polynomials and trigonometric functions. The integral in question, ∫5x sin(x) dx, involves the product of a linear function 5x and a sine function sin(x). Applying integration by parts requires selecting parts of the integrand to differentiate and integrate. The formula for integration by parts is given as ∫u dv = uv - ∫v du, where u and dv are parts of the integrand chosen strategically for simplicity.

For the integral ∫5x sin(x) dx, we assign:

- u = 5x (which simplifies upon differentiation)

- dv = sin(x) dx (which integrates easily)

Differentiating u gives:

- du = 5 dx

Integrating dv gives:

- v = -cos(x)

Applying the integration by parts formula:

∫5x sin(x) dx = u · v - ∫v du

= (5x)(-cos(x)) - ∫(-cos(x))(5 dx)

= -5x cos(x) + 5 ∫cos(x) dx

The integral of cos(x) is sin(x), so:

= -5x cos(x) + 5 sin(x) + C

Where C is the constant of integration. Therefore, the indefinite integral evaluates to:

−5x cos(x) + 5 sin(x) + C

Understanding the application of integration by parts in this context demonstrates how polynomial and trigonometric functions cooperate to produce an easily solvable integral when selected correctly.

Additional integral evaluations and their solutions

1. Integral ∫60 e^(-t) dt

This is a straightforward exponential integral. Its solution involves recognizing that the differential of e^(-t) is -e^(-t). Integrating yields:

∫ e^(-t) dt = -e^(-t) + C

Applying the limits from 0 to 6:

∫₀⁶ e^(-t) dt = [-e^(-t)] from 0 to 6 = (-e^(-6)) - (-e^(0)) = 1 - e^(-6)

2. Integral ∫(ln x)^2 dx

To evaluate ∫ (ln x)^2 dx, substitution or integration by parts is effective. Let u = (ln x)^2 and dv = dx; then, alternatively, set u = ln x for simplicity:

Using integration by parts:

u = (ln x)^2 → du = 2 ln x · (1/x) dx

dv = dx → v = x

Applying integration by parts:

∫ (ln x)^2 dx = x (ln x)^2 - ∫ x * 2 ln x / x dx = x (ln x)^2 - 2 ∫ ln x dx

The integral ∫ ln x dx is x ln x - x + C, so:

∫ (ln x)^2 dx = x (ln x)^2 - 2 (x ln x - x) + C

= x (ln x)^2 - 2 x ln x + 2 x + C

3. Integral ∫ t^2 sin(3t) dt

This is an integral requiring integration by parts repeated twice or via tabular integration. With u = t^2, dv = sin(3t) dt:

u = t^2 → du = 2t dt

dv = sin(3t) dt → v = - (1/3) cos(3t)

First iteration:

∫ t^2 sin(3t) dt = t^2 (-1/3) cos(3t) - ∫ - (1/3) cos(3t) 2t dt

= - (t^2 / 3) cos(3t) + (2/3) ∫ t cos(3t) dt

Next, ∫ t cos(3t) dt:

u = t → du = dt

dv = cos(3t) dt → v = (1/3) sin(3t)

Applying integration by parts again:

∫ t cos(3t) dt = t * (1/3) sin(3t) - ∫ (1/3) sin(3t) dt

= (t/3) sin(3t) + (1/9) cos(3t) + C

Substituting back:

∫ t^2 sin(3t) dt = - (t^2 / 3) cos(3t) + (2/3) [ (t/3) sin(3t) + (1/9) cos(3t) ] + C

= - (t^2 / 3) cos(3t) + (2t/9) sin(3t) + (2/27) cos(3t) + C

4. Integral ∫ arctan(4x) dx

Using integration by parts:

u = arctan(4x), du = (4 / (1 + 16x^2)) dx

dv = dx, v = x

Then:

∫ arctan(4x) dx = x arctan(4x) - ∫ x (4 / (1 + 16x^2)) dx

The remaining integral:

∫ x * (4 / (1 + 16x^2)) dx

Make the substitution:

Let t = 1 + 16x^2 → dt = 32x dx → x dx = dt / 32

Express the integral as:

(4/32) ∫ 1 / t dt = (1/8) ∫ 1 / t dt = (1/8) ln|t| + C

Substituting back:

(1/8) ln |1 + 16x^2| + C

Therefore:

∫ arctan(4x) dx = x arctan(4x) - (1/8) ln |1 + 16x^2| + C

5. Integral ∫ 3x ln(x) dx

Applying integration by parts with u = ln x, dv = 3x dx:

u = ln x → du = (1 / x) dx

dv = 3x dx → v = (3/2) x^2

Therefore:

∫ 3x ln x dx = (3/2) x^2 ln x - ∫ (3/2) x^2 (1 / x) dx

= (3/2) x^2 ln x - (3/2) ∫ x dx

= (3/2) x^2 ln x - (3/2) * (x^2 / 2) + C

= (3/2) x^2 ln x - (3/4) x^2 + C

In conclusion, these integrals demonstrate the application of different techniques—primarily integration by parts and substitution—to evaluate a variety of integrals involving polynomials, exponential, logarithmic, and trigonometric functions. Mastery of these techniques is essential for solving advanced calculus problems efficiently and accurately, especially as integrals become more complex.
