Answer 5

Logarithmic, Inverse Trigonometric, Algebraic, Trigonometric, Exponential

Answer 6

First of all I just want to say that this rule mostly works but not works every time. It says that whenver you do integration by parts and you have two type of expressions, says L and A then the priority to be the u is the one that is mentioned first (so in this case choose u=L).

Answer 7

Example: \(\int xe^x dx\). Here x=A and e^x=E. A comes before E so choose u=x and e^xdx=dv

Answer 8

thanks
