We got a formula for integration by parts. 1g is the question. I was looking at the answer and v' should be the differenciation of v right? lets say its swapped here and lets take v' as v and vice versa just for this context. How is differenciation of cos2x be (sin2x)/2? isnt it supposed to be -2sin2x?

From what I can tell, you are differentiating where you should be integrating
1/2 sin(2x) is the integral of cos(2x)
okay so i need to integrate v to get v' here right?
but in another example for v to v', they differenciated it here
how do i know if i should integrate or differenciate
No they integrated
integration of sin is -cos how did they get cos
So, when you are using integration by parts, you aren’t choosing u and v, you are choosing u and dv
In this case, they chose u=x and dv=cos(x)
i thought it was the same
wait whats dv
the original question to this working is this btw
so v' is the derivative of v
Yes
but in this image, v' isnt the derivative of v though, its the integral
When you use this method, you set one of your functions equal to u and the other equal to the derivative of some function v; then you have to integrate your derivative to find what v is
No, it is definitely the derivative
ohh wait my bad
If you take the derivative of v then the 2 gets multiplied out to cancel the 1/2 and the sin(2x) becomes cos(2), leaving you with only cos(2x)
the original question is integrate xcos2x
Yeah
Because they set cos(2x) equal to dv
When you use this method, you aren’t choosing u and v
You choose u and dv and you have to integrate dv to figure out what v is
👍
but can i keep this channel open, because i might have some more questions
