Indefinite and Definite Integration

In calculus, integration and differentiation are the two most important concepts. Integration originated during the course of finding the area of a plane figure, whereas differentiation is a process of finding a function that outputs the rate of change of one variable with respect to another variable. Integration is the reverse of differentiation. It is also called the antiderivative. In this section, students will learn about the list of definite and indefinite integration important formulas, how to use integral properties to solve integration problems, integration methods and much more.

Indefinite Integration

The indefinite integral is defined as a function that describes an area under the function’s curve from an undefined point to another arbitrary point. Read more.

Properties of Indefinite Integration

  2. (f(x)+g(x))dx=f(x)dx+g(x)dx

Below are some Illustrations based on integration properties and the substitution method:

Illustration 1: Solve

(1+x)3x23dx
.

Solution: 

(1+x)3x23dx=1+3x+3x2+x3x2/3dx
=(x2/3+3x1/3+3x4/3+x7/3)dx
=3x1/3+94x4/3+97x7/3+310x10/3+c

Illustration 2: Solve 

sec2xcosec2xdx
.

Solution:

sec2xcosec2xdx=sin2x+cos2xsin2xcos2xdx
=sec2x+cosec2xdx
=tanxcotx+c

Illustration 3. Solve

2xsin(x2)dx
.

Solution: Put x2 = t.

Then, 2x dx = dt

sintdt=cost+c
=cosx2+c

Illustration 4.

sin3xcos5xdx

Solution:

sin2xcos5xsinxdx
=(1cos2x)cos5xsinxdx

put cos x = t

Therefore, -sin x dx = dt

So, the new equation is:

(1t2)t5(dt)
=t5t7dt
=(t66t88)

Resubstituting the value, we get

cos6x6+cos8x8+c
.

 Types of Substitutions

Type I

sinmxcosnxdx

Rule:

  1. If from either m and n, one of them is odd, then substitute for even power.
  2. If both are odd, then substitute either of them.
  3. If both even use trigonometric identities.

Type II: Substitution of Trigonometric Functions.

  1. a2x2x=asinθ
  2. x2+a2x=atanθ
  3. x2a2x=asecθ
  4. xabxx=acos2θ+bsin2θ
  5. xaxbx=asec2θb

Type III:

px+qax2+bx+cdx&px+qax2+bx+cdx&(px+q)ax2+bx+cdx

We express px + q as:

m(ax2+bx+c)1+n
Then, this gets changed to standard integral.

Biquadratic Substitutions

  1. I=f(x+1x)(11x2)dx
    Put x+1x=t
  2. I=f(x1x)(1+1x2)dx
    Put (x1x)=t

Integration by Partial Fraction

Integrals of rational functions can be evaluated by splitting them into partial fractions.

f(x)g(x)

Where, f and g are polynomials is called a rational function.

If the degree of f < the degree of g, it is called a proper fraction.

Otherwise, it is an improper fraction.

Then

f(x)g(x)=h(x)+d(x)g(x),
degree of d < degree of g.

Cases:

1. When g(x) is expressed as the product of non-repeating linear factors,

g(x)=(xa1)(xa2).(xan)
then

fg=A1xa1+A2xa2+.Anxan.

2. Some factors of g are repeating, then

g(x)=(xa)k(xa1)(xa2)
fg=A1(xa)+A2(xa)2+..Ak(xa)n+

3. If g(x) has a quadratic term, then

fg=Ax+Bax2+bx+c

Where, A & B are constants determined by comparing coefficients.

Let us understand with the help of examples:

Example 1: Solve

dx(x+1)(x2)

Solution:

dx(x+1)(x2)=ax+1+bx2dx
=13x+1+12x2dx
=13n|x+1|+12n|x2|

Example 2: Solve

2x21(x1)(x+1)2dx

Solution:

2x21(x1)(x+1)2dx=Ax1+B(x+1)+C(x+1)2
2x21=A(x+1)2+B(x+1)(x+1)+C(x1)

Put x = 1 ⇒ A = 1/2

x = -1 ⇒ C – -1/2

B = 3/2.

I=12(x1)dx+32dx(x+1)+(12)dx(x2)2
,

=12n|x1|+32(ln|x+1|)+12(x+2)+c
,

Example 3: Solve 

dx(x+2)(x2+1)

Solution:

dx(x+2)(x2+1)=Ax+2+Bx+Cx2+1

Comparing by x = -2 ⇒ A = 1/5

And by x2 coefficient B = -1/2 and C = 2/5,

On substituting the values and integrating, we have

I=15n|x+2|110n(x2+1)+25tan1(x)

Integration of Trigonometric Functions

Type 1:

I=sinmxcosnxdx

1. If m –odd, put cos x = t

2. If n odd, put sin x = t

3. If m and n rationales, then put tan x = t

4. If both are even, then use the reduction method.

Let us understand with the help of an example:

cos3xsin6xdx=1t2t6dt

Where, t = sin x

=t6t4dt
=15sin5x+13sin3x+c

Type 2:

dxacosx+bsinx+c

Put t = tan (x/2)

Illustration:

dx2+sinx
t=tan(x2)
dx=2dt1+t2
=2dt1+t22+2t1+t2
dtt2+t+1
=23tan1(2t+13)
=23tan1(2tanx2+13)+c

Type 3

dxacos2x+bsin2x,dxa+bsin2x
1a+bcos2xdx,1(asinx+bcosx)2dx
or
1a+bsin2x+cos2xdx

Rule:

Divide both the numerator & denominator by cos2x.

Illustration:

134sin2xdx=1cos2x3cos2x4sin2xcos2x
=sec2x3sec2x4tan2xdx
=dt3(1+t2)4t2
(Since, by tan x = t, sec2x dx = dt)

=dt3t2
=1(3)2t2
=123n|3+t3t|
=123log|3+tanx3tanx|
