Detail solution
  1. There are multiple ways to do this integral.

    Method #1

    1. Let .

      Then let and substitute :

      1. Use integration by parts:

        Let and let .

        Then .

        To find :

        1. The integral of a constant is the constant times the variable of integration:

        Now evaluate the sub-integral.

      2. The integral of a constant is the constant times the variable of integration:

      Now substitute back in:

    Method #2

    1. Use integration by parts:

      Let and let .

      Then .

      To find :

      1. The integral of a constant is the constant times the variable of integration:

      Now evaluate the sub-integral.

    2. Rewrite the integrand:

    3. Integrate term-by-term:

      1. The integral of a constant is the constant times the variable of integration:

      1. The integral of a constant times a function is the constant times the integral of the function:

        1. Let .

          Then let and substitute :

          1. The integral of is .

          Now substitute back in:

        So, the result is:

      The result is:
