Indefinite Integrals


   
 
Summary
 
f(x) is called the integrand, F(x) is called the particular integral and C the constant of integration.
 
 
 
 
Method of substitution:
 
If the integrand f(x) of the integral is not in an integral form the variable of integration x is changed to a suitable variable z by substitution and on differentiation and simplification, the new integral is found integrable.
 
 
 
Standard integrals
 
 
 
 
 
By method of completing squares ax2 + bx + c is expressed as A2 - X2 or X2 - A2 or A2 + x2 and the integral reduces to
 
 
which can be evaluated using the standard integrals.
 
 
Method:
 

 
 
Step 4: The second integral can be evaluated by method completing squares.

Method
 
 
Step 2: Determine L and M
 
 
Step 4: Integral = Lx + M log (a cos x + bsinx)
 
Integration by partial fractions:
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Step 4: Integrate each part on the right hand side to obtain the required integrals.
 
Integration by parts
 
 
In words: Integral of the product of two functions
 
 
If the integrand is the product of two functions of different types then their order is determined by the word ILATE where
 
I = Inverse trigonometric
 
L = Logarithmic
 
A = Algebraic, T = Trigonometric, E = Exponential
 
In the integrand, the first function is the function is the function which comes first in the word ILATE.
 
However, there is no rigid rule in this that you have to select the first function in this order.
 
Standard integrals
 
 
 
 
 
Step 1: By method of completing squares
 
 
Step 2: Use standard and integrals and evaluate
 
 
Step 1: put px + q = L (2ax + b) + M and determine L and M.
 
 
 
Step 3: Second integral on the right hand side can be evaluated by method of completing squares.
