I am trying to design an integration question which involves three methods, namely substitution, integration by part and partial fraction.
However, I couldn't design such a question. The best I can do involves at most 2 methods, but not 3. For example,
∫x8ex3 dx
The integral above involves only substitution (u=x3) and by part, but not partial fraction.
It would be good if someone can come out a question involving three methods.
Answer
An example could be
∫x2lnx(1+x3)2dx.
By the change of variable u=x3, du=3x2dx, one gets
∫x2lnx(1+x3)2dx=19∫lnu(1+u)2du, then one may use an integration by parts
19∫lnu(1+u)2du=−lnu9(1+u)+19∫1u(1+u)duand conclude by partial fraction decomposition.
