What is parts: Definition and 838 Discussions

In science and engineering, the parts-per notation is a set of pseudo-units to describe small values of miscellaneous dimensionless quantities, e.g. mole fraction or mass fraction. Since these fractions are quantity-per-quantity measures, they are pure numbers with no associated units of measurement. Commonly used are parts-per-million (ppm, 10−6), parts-per-billion (ppb, 10−9), parts-per-trillion (ppt, 10−12) and parts-per-quadrillion (ppq, 10−15). This notation is not part of the International System of Units (SI) system and its meaning is ambiguous.

    How to Integrate arccos x by Parts?

    Could som1 please help me integrate arccos x by parts. I've done examples using integration by parts but they were all some form of multiplication, ie y = xe^x, y = x sin x etc. I'm really unsure where to start with this problem :confused:

    I feel like I waste too much time on the wrong parts of lab reports

    I feel like I waste too much time on the wrong parts of lab reports... So I have a tendency to write a ton in my lab reports in the theory sections...we're talking 5-6 pages or more on theory. I enjoy doing this because it gives me the chance to kinda explain the concepts in my own words to...

    Cyclic Functions and Integration by Parts: Where Did I Go Wrong?

    Why is it that when I do integration by parts on cyclic functions such as (sinx)e^(inx), I get a trivial answer like C=C, C is a constant Have I done something wrong or are there other methods of doing those integrals?

    Solving an Integral with Integration by Parts

    hello could someone give me a pointer here. this integral ∫ln(x + c)dx my guess is, by integration by parts (ab)' = a'b + ab' ∫ba = ab - ∫b'a so here a = ln(c + x) b = c + x a' = 1/(c + x) b' = 1 ab = (c + x)*ln(c + x) and ∫b'a = ∫ ((c + x)/(hc + x)) dx = ∫dx = x...
