Definition of Indefinite Integral

• The indefinite integral is a fundamental operation in calculus.
• It represents the antiderivative or the integral without limits.
• It is denoted as ∫ f(x) dx, where f(x) is the integrand and dx is the differential of x.
• The indefinite integral yields a family of functions, referred to as the antiderivatives.

Linearity Property

• ∫ (f(x) + g(x)) dx = ∫ f(x) dx + ∫ g(x) dx
• ∫ (kf(x)) dx = k∫ f(x) dx
• Where f(x) and g(x) are differentiable functions and k is a constant.

Constant Multiple Property

• ∫ k*f(x) dx = k * ∫ f(x) dx
• This property allows us to take out the constant factor from the integrand.

Power Rule Property

• ∫ x^n dx = (x^(n+1))/(n+1) + C
• The power rule states that when integrating a term with x raised to a power, we increase the power by 1 and divide by the new power.

Constant Rule Property

• ∫ k dx = kx + C
• The constant rule states that the integral of a constant is equal to the constant times x, plus a constant of integration.

Sum and Difference Property

• ∫ (f(x) + g(x)) dx = ∫ f(x) dx + ∫ g(x) dx
• ∫ (f(x) - g(x)) dx = ∫ f(x) dx - ∫ g(x) dx
• These properties allow us to integrate the sum or difference of two functions by integrating each separately.

Examples

1. ∫ (3x^2 - 4x + 2) dx

2. ∫ (sin(x) + cos(x)) dx

3. ∫ (5e^x - 2ln(x)) dx

Summary

• Indefinite integral is denoted by ∫ f(x) dx and represents the antiderivative of a function.
• Properties of indefinite integrals include linearity, constant multiple, power rule, constant rule, and sum and difference properties.
• These properties help simplify integration problems and find antiderivatives.
• Examples provide practice in applying these properties.

• Example 2: Evaluate the indefinite integral ∫ (sin(x) + cos(x)) dx Solution: Using the sum and difference property, we have: ∫ (sin(x) + cos(x)) dx = ∫ sin(x) dx + ∫ cos(x) dx Applying the power rule, we get: ∫ (sin(x) + cos(x)) dx = -cos(x) + sin(x) + C
• Example 3: Determine the antiderivative ∫ (5e^x - 2ln(x)) dx Solution: Using the constant multiple property and the power rule, we have: ∫ (5e^x - 2ln(x)) dx = 5∫ e^x dx - 2∫ ln(x) dx Applying the power rule and the constant rule, we get: ∫ (5e^x - 2ln(x)) dx = 5e^x - 2(x ln(x) - x) + C
