Solution
Let u and v be any two functions of x.
Then, by product rule of differentiation ddx(uv)=udvdx+vdudx Integrating both sides with respect to x, uv=∫udvdxdx+∫vdudxdx ⇒∫udvdxdx=uv−∫vdudxdx Now, put u=f1(x)and dvdx=f2(x), i.e., v=∫f2(x)dx ∫f1(x)f2(x)dx=f1(x)∫f2(x)dx−∫[ddx{f1(x)}∫f2(x)dx]dx The above expression can be rewrite as ⇒∫uvdx=u∫vdx−∫[dudx∫vdx]dx Where, u=f1(x),v=f2(x).
