7.1 Integration by Parts

Introduction

If the techniques/formulas we introduced earlier do not work then there is another technique that you

can use: Integration by Parts. It is a way of simplifying integrals of the form

∫

f(x)g(x)dx in which f(x)

can be differentiated repeatedly and g(x) can be integrated repeatedly without difficulty.

The Formula

A. Derivation of the Formula The formula for integration by parts comes from the Product Rule.

d

dx(uv) = u

dv

dx+ v

du

dxd(uv) = udv + v du (differential form)

udv = d(uv)− v du (Solve for udv )∫

udv = uv −∫

v du (integrating both sides)

B. Note: The integration by parts expresses one integral,∫

v du in terms of another,∫

udv. The idea isthat with a proper choice of u and v, the second integral is easier to integrate than the original. Youmay have to use this technique several times before you reach an integral that you can integrate easily.

C. The Integration-by-Parts Formula

1. Indefinite Integrals

If u(x) and v(x) are functions of x and have continuous derivatives, then

∫

udv = uv −∫

v du

2. Definite Integrals∫ b

audv = uv

D. How to pick u and dv

C. If the powers of both sine and cosine are odd, either 1 or 2 can be used.

D. If the powers of both sine and cosine are even, use the half-angle identities

sin2 x =1

2[1− cos (2x)] and cos2 x =

1

2[1 + cos (2x)]

E. It is sometimes helpful to use the identity sinx cosx = 12 sin(2x).

Introduction

Consider the integral∫

x√a2 − x2 dx. The substitution of u = a2 − x2 will allow us to integrate this

integral.Now consider

∫ √a2 − x2 dx. We have integrated this type of integral using the area of either a half or

quarter of a circle depending on the limits of integration. What if we wanted to evaluate this indefiniteintegral or the definite integral in which the limits do not define either a half or quarter of a circle? Wewill evaluate this type of integral using a type of substitution called inverse substitution.

√a2 + x2,

√x2 − a2

Radical Substitution Restrictions on θ Identiy

√a2 − x2 x = a sin θ −π

2 ≤ θ ≤ π2 1− sin2 θ = cos2 θ

√a2 + x2 x = a tan θ −π

2 ≤ θ ≤ π2 1 + tan2 θ = sec2 θ

√x2 − a2 x = a sec θ 0 ≤ θ ≤ π, θ 6= π

2 sec2 θ − 1 = tan2 θ

7.4 Integration of Rational Functions by Partial Fractions

7.4.1 Reducing an Improper Fraction (long division)

When the degree of the numerator is greater than or equal to the degree of the denominator, we will beusing long division to simplify the integrand. Sometimes after doing long division, you will have a remainderthat will be placed on top of the divisor; this part of the new integrand may result after integration ineither a natural logarithm or an arctangent.

7.6 Integral Tables

The Basic techniques of integration are substitution and integration by parts; these techniques transformunfamiliar integrals into integrals whose forms are recognizable or can be found in a table. The integraltables were created by applying substitutions and integration by parts to generic integrals in order to savethe trouble of repeating laborious calculations. When an integral matches an integral in the table or canbe changed into one of the tabulated integrals through algebra, trigonometry substitution or calculus, thetables give a ready made solution for the problem.

7.7 Approximate Integration

NOTE: Approximate/numerical integration is used when either we cannot find an antiderivative to aproblem or one does not exist.

7.7.2 Trapezoidal Rule

A. Formula

One way to approximate a definite integral is by the use of n trapezoids rather than rectangles. In thedevelopment of this method we will assume that the function f(x) is continuous and positive valued on

the interval [a, b] and that

∫ b

af(x)dx represents the area of the region bounded by the graph of f(x)

and the x-axis, from x = a to x = b.

Partition the interval [a, b] into n equal subintervals, each of width ∆x =b− a

nsuch that

a = x0 < x1 < x2 < · · · < xn = b.

The area of a trapezoid is Atrap = 12h(b1+b2) where b1 and b2 are the two parallel sides of the trapezoid

and h is the distance between the two parallel sides.

b2 b1

h

With the trapezoid in this position, the height is h = ∆x and the bases b1 = f(x0) and b2 = f(x1). Wehave formed n trapezoids which have areas given by:

Area of first trapezoid: A1 =

(

1

2

)(

b− a

n

)

(f(x0) + f(x1))

Area of second trapezoid: A2 =

(

1

2

)(

b− a

n

)

(f(x1) + f(x2))

...

Area of nth trapezoid: An =

(

1

2

)(

b− a

n

)

(f(xn−1) + f(xn))

When you add up all the areas and combine like terms you get a formula that look like:

∫ b

af(x)dx ≈ Tn =

n∑

i=1

A1 +A2 + · · ·+An =∆x

2[f(x0) + 2f(x1) + 2f(x2) + · · ·+ 2f(xn−1) + f(xn)]

where ∆x =b− a

nand xi = x0 + i∆x.

Note: The coefficients in the Trapezoidal Rule follow the pattern: 1 2 2 · · · 2 1

34


B. Error Estimate for the Trapezoidal Rule, ET .

1. ET =

∫ b

af(x)dx− Tn, where Tn is the Trapezoidal Rule.

2. If f ′′ is continuous and K is any upper bound for the values of |f ′′| on [a, b], then

|ET | ≤(

7.7.3 Simpson’s / Parabolic Rule

A. The formula

Another way to approximate a definite integral is by the use of n parabolas rather than rectangles ortrapezoids. In the development of this method we will assume that the function f(x) is continuous and

positive valued on the interval [a, b] and that

∫ b

af(x)dx represents the area of the region bounded by

the graph of f(x) and the x-axis, from x = a to x = b.

Partition the interval [a, b] into n equal subintervals, each of width ∆x =b− a

nsuch that

a = x0 < x1 < x2 < · · · < xn = b. For Simpson’s rule the value of n MUST BE EVEN.

36

h h

The area under the parabola is A = h3 (y0 + 4y1 + y2). We will use this to estimate the area under a

curve.

Simpson’s Rule (n is even)

Let f(x) be continuous on [a, b]. Simpson’s Rule for approximating

∫ b

af(x)dx is given by

∫ b

af(x)dx ≈ Sn =

(

)

[f(x0) + 4f(x1) + 2f(x2) + 4f(x3) + · · ·+ 4f(xn−1) + f(xn)]

)

[f(x0) + 4f(x1) + 2f(x2) + 4f(x3) + · · ·+ 4f(xn−1) + f(xn)]

where ∆x = b−an

Note: The coefficients in Simpson’s Rule follow the pattern: 1 4 2 4 2 4 · · · 4 2 4 1

B. Error Estimate for Simpsons Rule, ES .

1. Es =
