Integration of un*du: Polynomial to a power, constant needed:
![]()
First we need to convert the powers in the denominator to powers in the numerator:
![]()
This looks like a quantity raised to a power times the derivative of the quantity.
Let's try the General Power rule for integrals:
Let
,
.
Now the integral becomes
![]()
We now use the Scalar Multiple rule for integrals to get
![]()
Now we can use the General Power rule for integrals to get
![]()
Finally we substitute for u (as we defined it above) to get an answer in terms of x:
![]()
