Overview
Integration is the inverse process of differentiation and one of the fundamental concepts in calculus. This chapter introduces you to finding antiderivatives (primitives) of functions, which has vast applications in mathematics, physics, and engineering. Integration helps us find areas under curves,
Key Concepts
If f(x) and g(x) are functions
If f(x) and g(x) are functions such that d/dx[f(x)] = g(x), then f(x) is called the integral or antiderivative of g(x). Written as ∫g(x)dx = f(x) + c,
Key formulas include
Key formulas include: ∫xⁿdx = xⁿ⁺¹/(n+1) + c (n≠-1), ∫(1/x)dx = log|x| + c, ∫eˣdx = eˣ + c, ∫aˣdx = aˣ/log a + c. For functions of the form (ax+b), we
When dealing with composite functions
When dealing with composite functions, we use substitution: if x = φ(t), then ∫f(x)dx = ∫f[φ(t)]φ'(t)dt. Key patterns include: ∫f(x)·f'(x)dx leads to
For products of functions
For products of functions, use ∫u·v dx = u∫v dx - ∫(du/dx·∫v dx)dx. Choose the first function using 'LIAE' priority: Logarithmic, Inverse trigonometri
For rational functions P(x)/Q(x) where degree
For rational functions P(x)/Q(x) where degree of P < degree of Q, decompose into simpler fractions. For example: (x+1)/[(x-2)(x+3)] = A/(x-2) + B/(x+3
