Integration by Parts
Main formula:

Hints and tips:
Integration by parts never solves the integral completely for you. The point is to reduce a difficult integral to an easier one.
If you have a polynomial multiplied by an exponential or trigonometric function, you can use the tabular integration shortcut.
You may have to use parts more than once in the same problem.
Sometimes, after using parts one or more times, you get the original integral reappearing. Then you can set up an equation for the original integral and find the solution algebraically without doing any more integration.
Use the mnemonic LIATE (Logarithmic, Inverse, Algebraic, Trigonometric, Exponential) to know which part of the expression to make the u.
Sometimes you have to make one or more substitution before you get a form that works well for integration by parts.

Excellent video instruction.
My only question is whether or not you have access to supplemental problems. This would really help me practice out the problems.

Why does it stop and start over? It stops at the "Shortcut: Tabular Integration".

Thanks. Helped me understand and apply this independently, without having to look at aids, for the first time, despite some previous attempts.

How come LIATE doesn't work for example 3?

integration of [(3X^2)/7^3]e^-(x/7)^3 dx 0<X<∞
At first I have used by parts method but it was a never ending integration.
I have found a formula from the table of integrals, it still gave me unfinished integral. How can I effectively solve this kind of integration by parts? Is there any ways for me to easily approach this kind of integration? Since the range is given,
Somehow I have ended up learning about Gamma function. I am very confused now.
Thank you
