Integration Notes
1. Basic Formulas
x^n dx = x^(n+1)/(n+1) + C , (n -1)
1/x dx = ln|x| + C
e^x dx = e^x + C
a^x dx = a^x / ln(a) + C , (a > 0, a 1)
sin(x) dx = -cos(x) + C
cos(x) dx = sin(x) + C
sec^2(x) dx = tan(x) + C
csc^2(x) dx = -cot(x) + C
sec(x)tan(x) dx = sec(x) + C
csc(x)cot(x) dx = -csc(x) + C
2. Standard Integrals
dx/(a - x) = sin(x/a) + C
dx/(a + x) = (1/a) * tan(x/a) + C
dx/(x(x - a)) = (1/a) * sec(|x|/a) + C
3. Integration by Substitution
If I = f(g(x))g'(x) dx, let t = g(x), then I = f(t) dt.
Example:
x(x + 1) dx Let x + 1 = t
4. Integration by Parts
uv dx = uv dx - (du/dx v dx) dx
Integration Notes
Use ILATE rule to choose u (in order of priority):
I: Inverse, L: Logarithmic, A: Algebraic, T: Trigonometric, E: Exponential
5. Partial Fractions
Used for rational functions: P(x)/Q(x) = sum of simpler fractions.
Types:
- Linear distinct factors
- Repeated linear factors
- Irreducible quadratic factors
6. Definite Integrals
_a^b f(x) dx = F(b) - F(a)
Properties:
1. _a^b f(x) dx = -_b^a f(x) dx
2. _a^a f(x) dx = 0
3. If f(a + b - x) = f(x), then _a^b f(x) dx = 2 _a^{(a+b)/2} f(x) dx
7. Area Under Curve
Area between x = a and x = b: A = _a^b [f(x) - g(x)] dx
