2. 6.3 Integration By Parts
Start with the product rule:
u dv  d  uv   v du 
d dv du
 uv  u  v
dx dx dx
u dv  d  uv    v du
d  uv  u dv  v du
d  uv   v du u dv u dv uv  v du
This is the Integration by Parts
u dv d  uv   v du formula.

The Integration by Parts formula is a “product rule” for
integration.
Choose u in this order: LIPET
Logs, Inverse trig, Polynomial, Exponential, Trig

du dx v sin x
u v  v du

10. A Shortcut: Tabular Integration
Tabular integration works for integrals of the form:
f  x  g  x  dx
where: Differentiates to Integrates
