The answer

Integration by parts is a technique to integrate products of two functions. It comes from the product rule of differentiation. If you have two functions u(x)u(x) and v(x)v(x), then the product rule says: ddx(uv)=udvdx+vdudx\frac{d}{dx}(uv) = u\frac{dv}{dx} + v\frac{du}{dx}. Integrate both sides with respect to xx: ∫ddx(uv) dx=∫udvdx dx+∫vdudx dx\int \frac{d}{dx}(uv)\,dx = \int u\frac{dv}{dx}\,dx + \int v\frac{du}{dx}\,dx. The left side is just uvuv, so we get uv=∫u dv+∫v duuv = \int u\,dv + \int v\,du. Rearranging gives the integration by parts formula: ∫u dv=uv−∫v du\int u\,dv = uv - \int v\,du. Here, choose uu as the function that simplifies when differentiated, and choose dvdv as the rest that you can integrate. The ILATE rule helps pick uu: Inverse trig, Logarithmic, Algebraic, Trigonometric, Exponential. So prefer uu in that order. For example, integrate ∫xex dx\int x e^x\,dx. Let u=xu = x (algebraic, since log/ inverse come first but none here), dv=ex dxdv = e^x\,dx. Then du=dxdu = dx, v=exv = e^x. Apply formula: ∫xex dx=xex−∫ex dx=xex−ex+C\int x e^x\,dx = x e^x - \int e^x\,dx = x e^x - e^x + C. Always check your answer by differentiating. The formula is also useful for cyclic integrals like ∫exsin⁡x dx\int e^x\sin x\,dx, where you apply it twice and solve for the integral. Remember to keep the constant of integration CC at the end.
