Part 5

e. Argue that if n is​ even, then

Upper I Subscript nIn

cannot be expressed in terms of elementary functions.

A.

If n is​ even, and a​ u-substitution is made for

x squaredx2​,

an integral of the form

Integral from nothing to nothing x ln u font size decreased by 6 du∫xlnu du

will always​ remain, even after all other integration techniques have been performed. The solution to

Integral from nothing to nothing x ln u font size decreased by 6 du∫xlnu du

cannot be expressed in terms of elementary functions.

B.

If n is​ even, and a​ u-substitution is made for

x squaredx2​,

an integral of the form

Integral from nothing to nothing x e Superscript negative u Baseline font size decreased by 6 du∫xe−u du

will always​ remain, even after all other integration techniques have been performed. The solution to

Integral from nothing to nothing x e Superscript negative u Baseline font size decreased by 6 du∫xe−u du

cannot be expressed in terms of elementary functions.

C.

If n is​ even, the number of steps required in integrating by parts becomes infinite. There is no way to express this result in terms of elementary functions.
