_______________


Make it more general, and see what happens when you try to reduce the exponent of  x  in the following integral:

\mathsf{\mathtt{I}_0=\displaystyle\int\! x^k\cdot e^x\,dx\qquad\qquad (k\ge 1,~~k\in\mathbb{N})}


Now, integrate it by parts:

\begin{array}{lcl}
\mathsf{u=x^k}&\quad\Rightarrow\quad&\mathsf{du=k\cdot x^{k-1}\,dx}\\\\
\mathsf{dv=e^x\,dx}&\quad\Leftarrow\quad&\mathsf{v=e^x}
\end{array}


\mathsf{\displaystyle\int\! u\,dv=u\cdot v-\int\! v\,du}\\\\\\
\mathsf{\displaystyle\int\! x^k\cdot e^x\,dx=x^k\cdot e^x-\int\! e^x\cdot k\cdot x^{k-1}\,dx}\\\\\\
\mathsf{\displaystyle\int\! x^k\cdot e^x\,dx=x^k\cdot e^x-k\int\! x^{k-1}\cdot e^x\,dx}\\\\\\
\mathsf{\displaystyle\int\! x^k\cdot e^x\,dx=x^k\cdot e^x-k\cdot \mathtt{I}_1}

where \mathsf{\mathtt{I}_1=\displaystyle\int\! x^{k-1}\cdot e^x\,dx.}


So after one iteration, the exponent of  x  was decreased by one unit.

The question is:  after how many iterations will the exponent of  x  equals zero?

     After exactly  k  iterations, of course.

Therefore, for  k = 7, you have to apply integration by parts  7  times, to get rid of that polynomial factor. Then, there will be one last integral left to evaluate:

\mathsf{\displaystyle\int\! e^x\,dx}

But this one doesn't need to be evaluated by parts. You can directly write the result:

\mathsf{\displaystyle\int\! e^x\,dx=e^x+C}


Shortly, for the integral

\mathsf{\mathtt{I}_0=\displaystyle\int\! x^7\cdot e^x\,dx}

you have to apply integration by parts  7  times (not  8  times).


I hope this helps. =)

Which of the following points is a solution to y ≤ −2x + 3?
Alika [10]

Answer:

d; below; y = −2x + 2

Step-by-step explanation:

the equality  ≤  means left to right that y is equal or less than. We see that 2 is equal or less than 3.

We check the resulting equation also and see that if we +3 it = 1 and if we +2 it equals 0 so we know +2 in answer format can be less than also. But with questions we are measuring the units and +2 is less than +3.
