Integration by parts

Integration by  parts can be regarded as the inverse to the product rule for differentiation. Suppose U(X) and V(x) are  two differentiable functions. According to the product rule dU(x)V(x)/dx = U(x) dV(x)/dx + V(x)dU(x)/dx = U(x) dV(x)/dx+ V(x)dU(x)/dx Integrating both … Fortsätt läsa
