ExampleFor example, suppose we want to find the integral Since this is a product of two functions that are simple to integrate separately, repeated integration by parts is certainly one way to evaluate it. However, we may also evaluate this by starting with a simpler integral and an added parameter, which in this case is t = 3: This converges only for t > 0, which is true of the desired integral. Now that we know we can differentiate both sides twice with respect to t (not x) in order to add the factor of x2 in the original integral. This is the same form as the desired integral, where t = 3. Substituting that into the above equation gives the value: {{mathanalysis-stub}} 1 : Integral calculus |
