Section 7.1 – Integration by Parts
Objective 03–01: I can use integration by parts to evaluate an indefinite integral using FTC-I.
Objective 03–02: I can use integration by parts to evaluate a definite integral using FTC-II.
Objective 03–03: I can use substitution and integration by parts to evaluate an indefinite integral using FTC-I.
Objective 03–04: I can use substitution and integration by parts to evaluate a definite integral using FTC-II.
A modern version of Bloom’s Taxonomy is included here to recognize various different levels of understanding and to encourage you to work towards higher-order understanding (those at the top of the pyramid). All Objectives, Investigations, Activities, etc. are color-coded with the level of understanding.

Evaluate the following integrals:
Mathematica
NOTE: Mathematica is used here to verify antiderivatives and definite integrals. You must show that you understand the Calculus concept of the integration.

Integrate[ ] for indefinite integrals has two arguments:
The integrand, i.e., function of the definite integral;

Mathematica does not show
Mathematica may return a result in a different, but equivalent, form than your answer. In these cases, use FTC-I to check your work.
DESMOS
NOTE: DESMOS is used here to verify definite integrals. On all Assessments, you must show that you understand the Calculus concept of definite integrals.
NOTE: On all Assessments, exact values are expected (unless otherwise directed). DESMOS only returns decimal approximations of definite integrals.
Warnings:
At this time, DESMOS cannot evaluate indefinite integrals.
The integral symbol can be typeset either by:
typing: int
located under: Show Keypad > functions > Calculus
dx is required to return the value of the definite integral.
Any variable may be used as long as there is only one variable (including the differential).
Python
NOTE: Python is used here to verify definite integrals. On all Assessments, you must show that you understand the Calculus concept of using
