Integration by Parts

Starting with the product rule for derivatives:

           d(uv) = u dv + v du
             dx

Integrate both sides:


 

Subtract from both sides:
 

Example:

     Let u = x2  and   dv = ex dx
Then du = 2x dx and v = ex

Again, let u = 2x and dv = ex dx
Then du = 2 dx and v = ex
