take the antiderivative of x*sin(x). You would start by saying that x is u and sin(x) is dvintegrate dv(sin(x)) to get -cos(x)=v. and you differentiate u(x) to get 1(du).you then have x*-cos(x)-integrate(-cos(x)*1) Once you work that out you get sin(x)-x*cos(x)
no but you end up having the integral be on both sides then its just algebra to work through itu=sin(x)dv=e^xintegrate(sin(x)*e^x)=sin(x)*e^x-integrate(cos(x)*e^x)for this integral you repeat the processu=cos(x)dv=e^xintegrate(cos(x)*e^x)= cos(x)*e^x-integrate(-sin(x)*e^x)move the negative out of the integralintegrate(cos(x)*e^x)= cos(x)*e^x+integrate(sin(x)*e^x)substitute back in and you getintegrate(sin(x)*e^x)=sin(x)*e^x-(cos(x)*e^x+integrate(sin(x)*e^x))integrate(sin(x)*e^x)=sin(x)*e^x-cos(x)*e^x-integrate(sin(x)*e^x)2*integrate(sin(x)*e^x)=sin(x)*e^x-cos(x)*e^xintegrate(sin(x)*e^x)=(sin(x)*e^x-cos(x)*e^x)/2thats one of my favorite examples my TA showed me on integration.
Why is integrating so more complicated than deriving?
