Integration by Parts
A special rule, integration by parts, is used for integrating products of two functions of .
Derivation of formula
Given that , where both and are functions of then:
Rearranging the product rule yields:
Integrating both sides with respect to gives:
but , then:
Therefore the integration by parts formula is given by:

Using the Integration by parts formula
o One needs to be very careful when determining the part to become (differentiate) and
that to be (integrate).
o must be differentiable and must be integrable.
LIATE Rule
L T
I A E
Differentiate Integrate
o We use the LIATE rule to determine the term to make and that to make
o The term which is to the left of A on the acronym LIATE is the 1st function and must be
and that to the right of A is the 2nd function must be .
o From the LIATE rule, L and I can be exchanged positions and so as T and E
o LIATE stands for :
Logarithmic functions e.g. , , etc
Inverse trigonometric functions e.g. , , etc
Algebraic function including radicals and polynomials e.g. , , etc
Trigonometric functions e.g. , , etc
Exponential functions e.g. , etc

CASE 1
When the product involves the algebra (A) and either the trigonometric function (T) or the
Exponential (E) then:
‘ ’ should be the algebra (A).
Illustration:
We choose to be the algebra (A) because it is differentiable and also it becomes a constant
after successive differentiations.
For example:

Suggested Solution
Let
Let (Integrate both sides with respect to )
Now using:
Repeating the same process again:
Let
Let (Integrate both sides with respect to
Repeating the same process again:

Suggested Solution
Let
Let (Integrate both sides with respect to
Now using:

CASE 2
When the product involves the algebra (A) and either the logarithmic function (L) or the
Inverse trigonometric function (I) then:
‘ ’ should be the either the logarithmic function (L) or the Inverse trigonometric
function (I).
Illustration:
We choose to be either the logarithmic function (L) or the Inverse trigonometric function
(I) since differentiable and it is very complicated to integrate.

For example:
Suppose we choose
But here comes the problem:
To get we are suppose to integrate both sides with respect to
This is not integrable since there is no direct integral for logarithmic functions e.g. .
Thus to circumvent the problem, we make since:

Page 11
CASE 3
When the product does not involve the algebra (A) or the logarithmic function (L) but
contains both the trigonometric function (T) and the Exponential (E) then:
‘ ’ should be any function between the trigonometric function (T) and the
Exponential (E)
Illustration:
We choose to be either the trigonometric function (T) or the Exponential (E) because both
functions yield a similar expression when either it is integrated or differentiated.
