I have been informed that on March 7th from 6:00am to 6:00pm Central Time Lamar University will be doing some maintenance to replace a faulty UPS component and to do this they will be completely powering down their data center.
Unfortunately, this means that the site will be down during this time. I apologize for any inconvenience this might cause.

Section 7.1 : Integration by Parts
1. Evaluate \( \displaystyle \int{{4x\cos \left( {2 - 3x} \right)\,dx}}\) .
Show All Steps Hide All Steps
The first step here is to pick \(u\) and \(dv\). We want to choose \(u\) and \(dv\) so that when we compute \(du\) and \(v\) and plugging everything into the Integration by Parts formula the new integral we get is one that we can do.
With that in mind it looks like the following choices for \(u\) and \(dv\) should work for us.
\[u = 4x\hspace{0.5in}dv = \cos \left( {2 - 3x} \right)\,dx\] Show Step 2Next, we need to compute \(du\) (by differentiating \(u\)) and \(v\) (by integrating \(dv\)).
\[\begin{align*}u & = 4x & \hspace{0.5in} & \to & \hspace{0.25in}du & = 4dx\\ dv & = \cos \left( {2 - 3x} \right)\,dx & \hspace{0.25in} & \to & \hspace{0.25in}v & = - \frac{1}{3}\sin \left( {2 - 3x} \right)\end{align*}\] Show Step 3Plugging \(u\), \(du\), \(v\) and \(dv\) into the Integration by Parts formula gives,
\[\begin{align*}\int{{4x\cos \left( {2 - 3x} \right)\,dx}} & = \left( {4x} \right)\left( { - \frac{1}{3}\sin \left( {2 - 3x} \right)} \right) - \int{{ - \frac{4}{3}\sin \left( {2 - 3x} \right)\,dx}}\\ & = - \frac{4}{3}x\sin \left( {2 - 3x} \right) + \frac{4}{3}\int{{\sin \left( {2 - 3x} \right)\,dx}}\end{align*}\] Show Step 4Okay, the new integral we get is easily doable and so all we need to do to finish this problem out is do the integral.
\[ \int{{4x\cos \left( {2 - 3x} \right)\,dx}} = \require{bbox} \bbox[2pt,border:1px solid black]{{ - \frac{4}{3}x\sin \left( {2 - 3x} \right) + \frac{4}{9}\cos \left( {2 - 3x} \right) + c}}\]
