Algebraic Integrals

Finding the solution to algebraic integrals is a lengthy and complex process. Hence, a standard method is to be followed to attain the solution in an easy way. In this section, we will discuss different forms of algebraic integrals, and tricks given here will help aspirants to solve all the problems at their own pace.

The types of integrals are as follows:

  • The integral can be called a definite integral if the function f(x) is between the limits ‘a’ and ‘b’, where d/dx (F(x)) = f(x).
It is represented as follows:

abf(x) dx=F(b)F(a)
  • Indefinite integrals refer to the evaluation of the indefinite area. The diagram below explains the difference between definite and indefinite integral.

Algebraic Integrals Forms

The following forms of integrals can be categorised into algebraic integrals.

1]

1ax2+bx+cdx or reducible to 1ax2+bx+cdx

Tricks to Solve: In these integrals, try expressing the term ax2 + bx + c as the sum or difference of the two squares. The following steps can be followed:

  • By dividing or multiplying throughout, the coefficient of x2 can be made unity.
  • To express it in the form [x+b2a]2+4acb24a2,
    add and subtract the square of half of the coefficient of x.
  • This reduces to one of the forms and can be integrated easily.
    1x2a2 or 1x2+a2 or 1a2x2

2]

1ax2+bx+cdx or reducible to 1ax2+bx+cdx

Tricks to Solve: To integrate these functions, the following steps can be followed:

  • Make the coefficient of x2 as unity.
  • To express the term within the square root in the form
    [x+b2a]2+4acb24a2,
    , add and subtract the square of half of the coefficient of x.
  • This reduces to one of the forms and can be integrated easily.
    1x2a2 or 1x2+a2 or 1a2x2

3]

px+qax2+bx+c

Tricks to Solve:

  • In such cases, the numerator can be expressed as the sum of constant times differentiation of the denominator and a constant; that is, px + q is written as A (2ax + b) + C, where 2ax + b= d/dx (ax2+bx+c). A and C are arbitrary constants.
  • By equating the coefficients of like powers on both sides, the values of the constants can be obtained easily.
  • Replace the numerator (px + q) by A (2ax + b) + C in the given integral, which will give,
    px+qax2+bx+c=A2ax+bax2+bx+cdx+C1ax2+bx+cdx
  • The right-hand side value thus obtained in the previous step can be integrated, and then constant values can be substituted.

4]

px+qax2+bx+c

Tricks to Solve:

In this case, we proceed as follows:

  • The numerator is expressed as the sum of constant times differentiation of the denominator and a constant; that is, px + q is written as A (2ax + b) + C, where 2ax + b=d/dx (ax2+bx+c). A and C are arbitrary constants.
  • The values of constants are computed by equating the coefficients of like powers on both sides.
  • Replace the numerator (px + q) by A (2ax + b) + C in the given integral, which will give,
    px+qax2+bx+cdx=A2ax+bax2+bx+cdx+C1ax2+bx+cdx
  • The right-hand side value, thus obtained in the previous step, can be integrated, and then, constant values can be substituted.

5]

ax2+bx+cdx

Tricks to Solve:

In such types of integrals, the following steps are followed:

  • Make the coefficient of x2 as unity.
  • To obtain the form [x+b2a]2+4acb24a2,
    add and subtract the square of half of the coefficient of x.
  • Hence, the integral reduces to,
    a2+x2dx or a2x2dx or x2a2dx.
  • These integrals can be computed easily by using direct formulae.
