Integration By Parts... this is a recursive DIVIDE AN CONQUER method.
What they need to do is DIVIDE AND CONQUER Integration By Parts !!
EITHER:
LONG TRIG FORMULAS
OR:
INTEGRATION BY PARTS
these example problem types should be in-compatible for high school level.
DIVIDE AND CONQUER complex integration itself...
Recursive Methods should be using small formulas and easy to spot
the integration method.
There is 0.00001 utility just making it complicated for complexity sake!
To bell curve grade everyone! You can't integrate 99% of complex formulas at all!
