integrate x^2(2x - 1)

This can be achieved through integrating by parts. The term we wish to differentiate and ultimately eliminate here is the x^2 term. There by applying the formula twice the integration can be accomplished.  I can most easily demonstrate this through use of a white board in the interview.

How does integration by parts work ad when to use it?


Consider the functions f(x) = −x^3 + 2x^2 + 3x and g(x) = −x^3 + 3x^2 − x + 3. (a) Find df/dx (x) and hence show that f(x) has turning points at when x = 2 /3 ± √ 13/ 3 . [5] (b) Find the points where f(x) and g(x) intersect. [4]
