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.
