Integrate the following expression with respect to x by parts: (2*x)*sin(x)

The integration by parts formula: S:udv/dx = uv -  S:v*du/dx, where S: means "Integral of with respect to x" 

Let 2*x be u and sin(x) be dv/dx

So du/dx =2 and v= -cos(x)

So S:(2x)sin(x) = (2x)(-cos(x)) - S:-cos(x)*2

= -2xcos(x) + 2*sin(x)

= 2sin(x) - 2x*cos(x) +c

Differentate sin(x^2+1) with respect to x


When Integrating by parts, how do you know which part to make "u" and "dv/dx"?


A particle of mass 0.5 kg is moving down a rough slope (with coefficient of friction = 0.2) inclined at 30 degrees to the horizontal. Find the acceleration of the particle. Use g = 9.8 ms^-2.


Given that z=sin(x)/cos(x), show that dz/dx = sec^2(x).
