Integral Calculus Help! :( (Techniques of Integration)

OpenStudy (unklerhaukus):

Which technique?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

All techniques. :(

OpenStudy (unklerhaukus):

can you integrate a polynomial ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes. :)

OpenStudy (unklerhaukus):

can you perform u-substitution ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

what kind of substitution?

OpenStudy (unklerhaukus):

something like \[∫(2-x)^3\,\mathrm dx,\qquad\text{let }u=(2-x)\\\qquad\qquad\qquad\qquad\quad\mathrm du=-\mathrm dx\\ \vdots\]

OpenStudy (unklerhaukus):

\[\vdots\\ =-\int u^3\,\mathrm du\\ =-u^4/4+C\\ =-(2-x)^4/4+C\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ahh. yes. :) sorry for the late reply. :(

OpenStudy (unklerhaukus):

so you can integrate with the aid of a substitution ?

OpenStudy (unklerhaukus):

What about integration by parts? \[\int u\,\mathrm dv=uv-\int v\,\mathrm du\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

a bit. :(

OpenStudy (unklerhaukus):

try an example \[\int xe^{x/2}\,\mathrm dx\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

okay.. wait, I'll solve it.
