    I have another one, \int \arctan(x) Here, we set u as \arctan(x) and dv as 1 dx. It just seems like a waste because I am just wanting to...

    Dr.Peterson replied to the thread Implicit Differentiation.
    First, you need to give the full instructions for the problem. Presumably you are trying to do implicit differentiation, assuming y is a...

    Did you look at examples of IBP in your textbooks? Why do you think it shouldn't work? As for \int \ln x dx : try representing \ln x dx...
