Integration by Parts Concepts

The video tutorial explains how to find the antiderivative of e^x * cos(x) using integration by parts. It begins by discussing the choice of functions for f(x) and g'(x), applies integration by parts, and reassigns functions for a new integral. The tutorial then uses substitution to solve the integral and concludes with the final solution, emphasizing the importance of including a constant of integration.

What is the result of adding the integral to both sides of the equation?

• The integral is eliminated

• The equation becomes unsolvable

• The original integral is doubled

• The integral is halved

What is the final step to solve for the original integral?

• Subtract a constant from both sides

• Multiply both sides by 2

• Divide both sides by 2

• Add a constant to both sides

Why is it important to add a constant to the antiderivative?

• To make the equation solvable

• To simplify the expression

• To ensure the solution is unique

• To account for all possible antiderivatives

What is the final expression for the antiderivative of e^x * cos(x)?

• e^x * sin(x) + e^x * cos(x) + C

• e^x * sin(x) - e^x * cos(x) + C

• e^x * sin(x) - e^x * cos(x) / 2 + C

• e^x * sin(x) + e^x * cos(x) / 2 + C
