use integration by parts to evaluate the integral

OpenStudy (johnnydicamillo):

\[\int\limits_{}^{} (x^2 + 2x) \cos dx\]

OpenStudy (johnnydicamillo):

I guess my u = x^2 + 2x and dv = cosx

OpenStudy (johnnydicamillo):

so du = 2x + 2 and v = sinx

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok if you do that then set up the integral using the pattern forr integration by parts

OpenStudy (misty1212):

if it was me, i would distribute first might not make a difference, but it would look nicer

OpenStudy (johnnydicamillo):

distribute what?

OpenStudy (misty1212):

\[\int x^2\cos(x)dx+2\int x\cos(x)dx\]

OpenStudy (johnnydicamillo):

oh!!! I did not even notice that thanks

OpenStudy (misty1212):

\[x\cos(x)\] is real real fast, the other takes two steps
