Solution
Idea. The factor becomes when differentiated, simplifying the integral. The other factor ( or ) is easy to integrate.
First integral. With and (so , ):
Second integral. With and (so ):
Remark. The rule of thumb for which factor to differentiate is *LIATE*: logarithms and inverse functions first, then algebraic, then trigonometric, then exponential.
