Rewrite the integral
Integration by parts replaces an integral of u dv with uv minus an integral of v du. The goal is to choose factors that make the new integral easier.

Apply integration by parts by choosing factors deliberately and using LIATE as a guide rather than a law.

Integration by parts replaces an integral of u dv with uv minus an integral of v du. The goal is to choose factors that make the new integral easier.
For xeˣ, choose and dv=eˣdx, so du=dx and ˣ. The result is xeˣ−eˣ+C, verified by differentiation.
LIATE suggests which factor to differentiate, but is not an absolute rule. Check whether the proposed dv can be integrated and whether the resulting integral is simpler; repeated applications may be needed.
