Integration by Parts

Rarely Tested

$$ \int u \, dv = uv - \int v \, du $$
LIATE rule helps choose $$ u $$ (Logarithmic, Inverse trig, Algebraic, Trigonometric, Exponential)
Question 1

Evaluate the indefinite integral

$$I=\int \frac{\sqrt{x^2+1}\left[\ln(x^2+1)-2\ln x\right]}{x^4}\,dx$$

Question 2

Evaluate the indefinite integral $$\int \frac{\ln x}{x^2} \, dx$$, where $$x \gt 0$$.
