1. Suppose we apply the formula, ∫ udv=uv−∫ vdu to ∫ x e x dx. Explain why the
substitutions below are inappropriate.
Answers:
1 2
Let u=e x and dv =x, then du=e x dx and v= x
2
1 2 x 1 2 x
∴∫ x e dx= x e −∫ x e dx
x
2 x
Hence, u=e and dv =x is a wrong choice because it didn’t follow the general rule of
x
∫ x e x dx=x e x−∫ e x dx
∴=x e x −e x +C
2. ∫ x sin x dx
u=x du=dx
dv =sin x dx v=−cos x
∫ udv=uv−∫ vdu
∫ x sin x dx=− x cos x−∫−cos x dx
¿−x cos x−−∫ cos x dx
¿−x cos x +∫ cos x dx
∴=−x cos x +sin x+C
3. ∫ sin 5 x dx
∫ sin 4 x sin x dx
∫ ( sin2 x ) sin x dx
2
∫ ( 1−cos 2 x ) sin x dx
2
u=cos x du=−sin x dx
du
dx=
−sin x
2 du
∫ ( 1−u2 ) −sin x × −sin x
−∫ ( 1−u 2 ) du
2
−∫ ( 1−u 2 )( 1−u2 ) du
−∫ ( 1−2u2 +u 4 ) du
