- These integrals have specific formulas that allow us to easily evaluate them.
- Knowing these special integrals can help simplify the integration process.
- Let’s begin by understanding the concept of indefinite integral.
Indefinite Integral
- The indefinite integral of a function f(x) is denoted by ∫ f(x) dx.
- The result of integrating f(x) with respect to x is called the antiderivative or integral.
- Indefinite integral represents a family of functions that differ by a constant.
- It does not have any upper or lower limits.
- The integral sign (∫) represents the process of integration.
Special Integrals - Constant Rule
- Constant Rule: ∫ k dx = kx + C
- In this rule, ‘k’ represents a constant.
- The indefinite integral of a constant is equal to that constant multiplied by x plus a constant of integration.
- Example: ∫ 7 dx = 7x + C
Special Integrals - Power Rule
- Power Rule: ∫ x^n dx = (x^(n+1))/(n+1) + C
- In this rule, ’n’ represents any real number except -1.
- The power rule states that the integral of x raised to the power of n is equal to x raised to the power of (n+1) divided by (n+1) plus a constant of integration.
- Example: ∫ x^3 dx = (x^4)/4 + C
Special Integrals - Exponential Rule
- Exponential Rule: ∫ e^x dx = e^x + C
- The exponential rule states that the integral of e raised to the power of x is equal to e raised to the power of x plus a constant of integration.
- Example: ∫ e^x dx = e^x + C
Special Integrals - Natural Logarithm Rule
- Natural Logarithm Rule: ∫ 1/x dx = ln|x| + C
- The natural logarithm rule states that the integral of 1 divided by x is equal to the natural logarithm of the absolute value of x plus a constant of integration.
- Example: ∫ 1/x dx = ln|x| + C
Special Integrals - Trigonometric Functions
- Sin(x): ∫ sin(x) dx = -cos(x) + C
- Cos(x): ∫ cos(x) dx = sin(x) + C
- Tan(x): ∫ tan(x) dx = -ln|cos(x)| + C
Special Integrals - Trigonometric Substitutions
- In certain cases, it is useful to substitute trigonometric functions in order to evaluate integrals.
- Common trigonometric substitutions involve using sine, cosine, and tangent.
- These substitutions can help simplify the expression and make integration easier.
- Examples:
- ∫ sqrt(1 - x^2) dx = sin^(-1)(x) + C
- ∫ sqrt(x^2 - 1) dx = ln|x + sqrt(x^2 - 1)| + C
Special Integrals - Integration by Parts
- Integration by Parts is a technique used to integrate the product of two functions.
- The formula for Integration by Parts is: ∫ u dv = uv - ∫ v du
- ‘u’ and ‘v’ represent the functions being multiplied.
- Differentiate ‘u’ to find ‘du’ and integrate ‘v’ to find ‘dv’.
- Example: ∫ x sin(x) dx = -x cos(x) + sin(x) + C
Special Integrals - Substitution Rule
- Substitution Rule is a method to simplify integration by substituting a variable or expression.
- The formula for Substitution Rule is: ∫ f(g(x)) g’(x) dx = ∫ f(u) du
- ‘u’ is an expression in terms of ‘x’ and ‘du’ is the derivative of ‘u’ with respect to ‘x’.
- After substituting, we integrate with respect to ‘u’.
- Example: ∫ 2x sqrt(x^2 + 1) dx = ∫ u sqrt(u) du
