formula for
π/2

mulas for m odd and for m even.)
40. Conjecture a formula for

In exercises 41–50, evaluate the integral using integration by
parts and substitution. (As we recommended in the text, “Try
something!”)

performed to evaluate

52. How many times would integration by parts need to be
performed to evaluate
x

ln xdx (where n is a positive
integer)?
In exercises 53 and 54, name the method by identifying whether
substitution or integration by parts can be used to evaluate the
integral.

55. The movie Stand and Deliver tells the story of mathe-
matics teacher Jaime Escalante, who developed a remark-
able AP calculus program in inner-city Los Angeles. In one
scene, Escalante shows a student how to evaluate the integral
x
2
sin xdx. He forms a chart like the following:
sin x
x
2
−cosx +
2x −sin x −
2 cos x +
Multiplying across each full row, the antiderivative is
−x
2
cos x + 2x sin x + 2cos x + c. Explain where each col-
umn comes from and why the method works on this problem.
In exercises 56–61, use the method of exercise 55 to evaluate the
integral.

62. You should be aware that the method of exercise 55 doesn’t
always work, especially if both the derivative and antideriva-
tive columns have powers of x. Show that the method doesn’t
work on
x

ln xdx.
63. Show that
π

π

sin(mx)sin(nx) dx = 0 for positive integers m = n.

65. Find all mistakes in the following (invalid) attempted
proof that 0 =−1. Start with
e

e

gration by parts with u = e

and dv = e

dx. This gives

get 0 =−1.
66. Find the volume of the solid formed by revolving the region
bounded by y = x
√
sin x and y = 0(0≤ x ≤ π) about the
x-axis.
67. Evaluate

68. Generalize the technique of exercise 67 to any integral of the
form
e
x
[ f (x) + f
(x)]dx. Prove your result without using
integration by parts.
69. Suppose that f and g are functions with
f (0) = g(0) = 0, f (1) = g(1) = 0 and with continuous sec-
ond derivatives f
and g
. Use integration by parts twice to
show that

70. Assume that f is a function with a continuous sec-
ond derivative. Show that f (b) = f (a) + f
(a)(b −a) +

EXPLORATORY EXERCISES
1. Integration by parts can be used to compute coefficients
for important functions called Fourier series. We cover
Fourier series in detail in Chapter 9. Here, you will discover
what some of the fuss is about. Start by computing a
n
=
2
π
π
−π
x sinnx dx for an unspecified positive integer n. Write
out the specific values for a
1
, a
2
, a
3
and a
4
and then form the
function
f (x) = a
1
sin x +a
2
sin2x +a
3
sin3x +a
4
sin4x.
