What are Integrals?
• • Integration is the reverse process of differentiation.
• • It helps calculate areas and other quantities.
• • Two types: Indefinite and Definite Integrals.
Indefinite Integrals
• • Represent a family of functions with an arbitrary constant (C).
• • General Form: ∫ f(x) dx = F(x) + C
• • Do not have limits of integration.
Definite Integrals
• • Represent the area under a curve between two limits (a to b).
• • Written as ∫ₐᵇ f(x) dx.
• • Does not include a constant of integration.
Geometrical Meaning
• • Definite integrals give the net area under the curve y = f(x).
• • Positive above the x-axis, negative below.
• • Used to calculate total accumulation.
Basic Formulas – I
• • ∫ xⁿ dx = xⁿ⁺¹ / (n + 1) + C (n ≠ -1)
• • ∫ 1/x dx = ln|x| + C
• • ∫ eˣ dx = eˣ + C
Basic Formulas – II
• • ∫ sin x dx = -cos x + C
• • ∫ cos x dx = sin x + C
• • ∫ sec²x dx = tan x + C
Methods of Integration
• • Integration by Substitution
• • Integration by Parts (basic idea only)
• • Integration using Partial Fractions
Integration by Substitution
• • Let u = g(x), then du = g'(x) dx.
• • Substitute and simplify the integral.
• • Convert back to x after integration.
Integration by Parts
• • Used for products of two functions.
• • ∫ u·v dx = u∫v dx - ∫(du/dx · ∫v dx) dx
• • Applies in select cases in Class 11 syllabus.
Using Partial Fractions
• • Break rational expressions into simpler terms.
• • Each term is easier to integrate.
• • Follow standard algebraic techniques.
Definite Integral Properties – I
• • ∫ₐᵇ f(x) dx + ∫ᵦ𝚌 f(x) dx = ∫ₐ𝚌 f(x) dx
• • ∫ₐᵇ f(x) dx = -∫ᵦₐ f(x) dx
Definite Integral Properties – II
• • ∫ₐᵃ f(x) dx = 0
• • If f(x) is even: ∫₋ₐᵃ f(x) dx = 2∫₀ᵃ f(x) dx
• • If f(x) is odd: ∫₋ₐᵃ f(x) dx = 0
Summary of Key Concepts
• • Integration is the reverse of differentiation.
• • Indefinite integrals give general solutions.
• • Definite integrals give exact values/areas.
• • Various techniques and properties assist
integration.
