#DI method (integration by parts)

oh
hmmm
i watched the video you gave me
Okay, and were you able to follow it?
Really, the DI method isn't really required here, because it's mostly for repeated integration by parts.
most of it
is integration by parts easier
It's literally the same thing.
DI is just a way of writing it.
I mean.
ye?
I can explain the actual integration by parts method.
So like I said, we want to differentiate arcsin(x), and integrate 1 dx.
d/dx arcsin(x) = 1/sqrt(1 - x^2).
int 1 dx = x.
So int arcsin(x) dx = x arcsin(x) - int x/sqrt(1 - x^2) dx.
and what was the formula for that?
int u dv = uv - int v du.
That's why we integrate one function and differentiate the other in the DI.
but in DI you have to do more integration and differentiation
sometimes more than just twice
but sometimes?
DI is literally just a way of writing integration by parts.
If you have to do more than one step of DI method, it's because you have to integrate by parts more than once.
Which is something you often have to do, which is why the DI method was invented.
so when do you know when to stop integrating or differentiating?
Was that not covered in the video?
oh yea it was
I had to do 1\sqrt/1-x^2.x
what is that
...really? Because I get x/sqrt(1 - x^2).
I get int arcsin(x) dx = x arcsin(x) - int x/sqrt(1 - x^2) dx, like I said.
Use u substitution.
the guy said that if the product of the integral and derivative could be integrated then that means you can stop.
...yes.
Okay, well, that's... not... what?
That's not... a thing.
Dude, x/sqrt(1 - x^2) is integrable.
I told you how to do it.
Or at least gave you a hint.
well inverse functions can be integrated by a formula, int f inverse x = f inv(x) * x -F•(f inv (x))
u watched black pen red pen?
yes
so now that we know that the product can be integrated what next?
...we... integrate it?
oh
ok
and would that be it when we are done integrating that?
...look.
You have to take it step by step from the beginning.
Or else you might just straight up forget something you did earlier.
That said, integrating x/(1 - x^2) is the last step we have to deal with here.
here is the answer -(1-x^2)^1/2
is this right?
Is that right for what?
integral of this
Yes.
so what after that?
also how do I tell if something cant be integrated?
...what do you mean, "what after that"?
what after we found the integral of x/sqrt(1-x^2)
There's not like a rule or anything. You just have to look at it and see if it's something you can work on with any of the techniques you know.
I still don't understand the question.
the product of the two things we found the derivative and integral of's product is x/sqrt(1-x^2) then you said we integrate that which is -(1-x^2)^1/2 is that the answer or what do we have to do next to find the final integral
You have to read back.
wdym?
I mean the reason you don't know what to do next is because you've forgotten what we did before. So read back through the channel to figure it out.
x arcsin(x)- -(1-x^2)^(1/2)+c?
Almost.
yay
And that's why showing your work is important.
and what was the x at the front for?
So that it's all on the page so you can just look at it.
ye
What do you mean, what's it for?
how did it get there?
By... being the integral of 1 dx...
oh
thanks
so much
you really helped
@indigo copper Why are you deleting your first post?
what will I use this channel for?
That's... not an answer to the question I asked.
because I dont know what this channel will do
Nothing if you close it.
what can it do
What can what do?
what can the channel do
When?
well why should I keep it open?
oh it might be useful to look at the working
how do I reopen it?
You shouldn't. I'm telling you to close it, which deleting the top level post does not do.
how do I close it?
Type "+close".

thanks
And now it's open again.
