Calc 2 - Help Please

We are integrating by parts, and I was wondering if "theta" was different from a variable such as "x", "t", etc.

Example: [Integral of][e^(2theta)*sin(3theta)d(theta)]

Will this be different because of the Theta?
Can someone show me how to do Integration by Parts for this problem? Please. Thank you.

Will this be different because of the Theta? No. Treat it the same as any other variable x, y, or z.[*]

[b]Integration by parts formula: uv - integral{ v du}[/b]
Integral{ e^(2 theta) * sin(3 theta) d (theta) }
let u = sin (3 theta), du = 3 cos (3theta) d (theta) and dv = 2^(2 theta) v =1/2 * e^(2 theta)..
You have to do this twice, just be consistent; [b]if your sin/cos was "u" term, and e is the "v" term stay consistent![/b] Normally we would make the "e^( ) " the "v" term because integrating it is easy.

You can look at attached link for guide on how to approach these type of problems: http://i.imgur.com/QwwefWv.jpg

Just use Excel

No difference.

uv-integral v du.

In this case, let u=sin3theta, dv=e^2theta dtheta.
Solve for du and v, and go from there.

No, there's no difference. Alfa and x are just more common.

[Integral of][e^(2x)*sin(3x)[b]d(x)[/b]]

Do you got the answer for this?
