Integral Calculus: Antiderivatives & Integration Methods
8.1 INTRODUCTION
In this unit, we shall introduce the notions of antiderivatives, indefinite integral and
various methods and techniques of integration. The unit will also cover definite integrals
which can be evaluated using these methods.
We know that one of the problems which motivated the concept of a derivative was a
geometrical one – that of finding a tangent to a curve at a point. The concept of
integration was also similarly motivated by a geometrical problem – that of finding the
areas of plane regions enclosed by curves. Some recently discovered Egyptian
manuscripts reveal that the formulas for finding the areas of triangles and rectangles were
known even in 1800 BC. Using these formulas, one could also find the area of any figure
bounded by straight line segments. But no method for finding the area of figures bounded
by curves had evolved till much later.
In the third century BC, Archimedes was successful in rigorously proving the formula for
the area of a circle. His solution contained the seeds of the present day integral calculus.
But it was only later, in the seventeenth century, that Newton and Leibniz were able to
generalize. Archimedes’ method and also to establish the link between differential and
integral calculus. The definition of the definite integral of a function, which we shall give 87
Calculus in this unit, was first given by Riemann in 1854. We will also acquaint you with various
application of integration.

8.2 ANTIDERIVATIVES
In Unit 7, we have been occupied with the problem of finding the derivative of a given
function. Some of the important applications of the calculus lead to the inverse problem,
namely, given the derivative of a function, is it possible to find the function? This
process is called antidifferentiation and the result of antidifferentiation is called an
antiderivative. The importance of the antiderivative results partly from the fact that
scientific laws often specify the rates of change of quantities. The quantities themselves
are then found by antidifferentiation.
To get started, suppose we are given that f ′ (x) = 9, can we find f (x)? It is easy to see that
one such function f is given by f (x) = 9x, since the derivative of 9x is 9.
Before making any definite decision, consider the functions
9 x + 4, 9 x − 10, 9 x + 3
Each of these functions has 9 as its derivative. Thus, not only can f (x) be 9x, but it can
also be 9 x + 4 or 9 x − 10, 9 x + 3 . Not enough information is given to help us
determine which is the correct answer.
Let us look at each of these possible functions a bit more carefully. We notice that each
of these functions differs from another only by a constant. Therefore, we can say that if
f ′ (x) = 9, then f (x) must be of the form f (x) = 9x + c, where c is a constant. We call
9x + c the antiderivative of 9.
More generally, we have the following definition.
Definition
Suppose f is a given function. Then a function F is called an antiderivative of f, if
F ′ (x) = f (x) ∀ x .
We now state an important theorem without giving its proof.
Theorem 1
88
If F1 and F2 are two antiderivatives of the same function, then F1 and F2 differ Integral Calculus
by a constant, that is
F1 ( x ) = F2 ( x ) + c
Remark
From above Theorem, it follows that we can find all the antiderivatives of a given
function, once we know one antiderivative of it. For instance, in the above
example, since one antiderivative of 9 is 9x, all antiderivative of 9 have the form
9x + c, where c is a constant. Let us do one example.
Example 8.1
Find all the antiderivatives of 4x.
Solution
We have to look for a function F such that F ′ (x) = 4 x . Now, an antiderivative of
4x is 2x2. Thus, by Theorem 1, all antiderivatives of 4x are given by 2x2 + c, where
c is a constant.
SAQ 1
Find all the antiderivatives of each of the following function
(i) f (x) = 10x
(ii) f (x) = 11x10
(iii) f (x) = − 5x
Here c is called the constant of integration. The function f (x) is called the integrand,
f (x) dx is called the element of integration and the symbol ∫ stands for the integral sign.
The indefinite integral ∫ f (x) dx is a class of functions which differ from one another
by constant. It is not a definite number; it is not even a definite function. We say that the
indefinite integral is unique up to an arbitrary constant.
Thus, having defined an indefinite integral, let us get acquainted with the various
techniques for evaluating integrals.

Calculus 8.3.1 Standard Integrals
We give below some elementary standard integrals which can be obtained directly from
our knowledge of derivatives.

Now let us see how to evaluate some functions which are linear combination of the
functions listed in Table 8.1.
8.3.2 Algebra of Integrals
You are familiar with the rule for differential of sum of functions, which says
d d d
[a f (x) + b g (x)] = a [ f (x)] + b [ g (x)]
dx dx dx
There is a similar rule for integration :
Rule 1
90 Proof
∫
Integral Calculus
Let f (x) dx = F (x) + c
d
Then by definition, [ F (x) + c] = f (x)
dx
d
∴ [ K {F (x) + c}] = K f (x)
dx
Again, by definition of antiderivatives, we have
Theorem 3
If f and g are two integrable functions, then f + g is integrable, and we have
∫ [ f ( x ) + g ( x )] dx = ∫ f ( x ) dx + ∫ g ( x ) dx .
Proof
d
Then [{F (x) + c} + {G (x) + c1}] = f (x) + g (x)
dx
Rule (1) may be extended to include a finite number of functions, that is, we can
write
Rule 2
We can make use of Rule (2) to evaluate certain integrals which are not listed in
Table 8.1.

some suitable relation x = φ (t) .
92
The method of integration by parts enables one to express the given integral of a product Integral Calculus
of two functions in terms of another, whose integration may be simpler.
8.4.1 Integration by Substitution
Consider the following integral
∫ f ′[ g ( x)] g ′ ( x) dx . . . (1)
d
Since f [ g ( x)] = f ′[ g ( x)] g ′ ( x) (by Chain rule)
dx
∴ ∫ f ′[ g ( x)] g ′ ( x) dx = f [ g ( x)] + c
∴ ∫ f ′[ g ( x)] g ′ ( x) dx = ∫ f ′ (t) dt
= f (t) + c
= f [ g ( x)] + c
Let us now illustrate this technique with examples.
Example 8.4
Find ∫ (x 2 + 1)3 2 x dx

dt = 2 x dx
Therefore, ∫ (x 2 + 1)3 2 x dx

To integrate f ( x n ) x n − 1 , we let x n = t .
Then nx n −1 dx = dt

and ∫ f ( x n ) x n −1 dx =

We usually use all these integrals given under (a) – (e) directly whenever required
without actually proving them. Sometimes it may happen that two or more substitutions
have to be used in succession. We now illustrate this point with the help of the following
example.

So far we have developed the method of integration by substitution, by turning the chain
rule into an integration formula. Let us do the same for the product rule. We know that
the derivative of the product of two functions f (x) and g (x) is given by
d
[ f ( x) g ( x)] = g ( x) f ′ ( x) + f ( x) g ′ ( x) ,
dx
where the dashes denote differentiation w. r. t. x. Corresponding to this formula, we have
a rule called integration by parts.
8.4.2 Integration by Parts
Let us now discuss the method of integration by parts in detail. We begin by taking two
functions f (x) and g (x). Let G (x) be an antiderivative of g (x), that is,
∫ g ( x) dx = G ( x) or G′ ( x) = g ( x)
f ( x) G ( x ) = ∫ f ( x) g ( x) dx + ∫ f ′ ( x) G ( x) dx
or ∫ f ( x) g ( x) dx = f ( x) G ( x) − ∫ f ′ ( x) G ( x) dx
Thus, ∫ f ( x) g ( x) dx = f ( x) ∫ g ( x) dx − ∫ ∫
f ′ ( x) { g ( x) dx} dx . . . (8.1)
The integration done by using the Eq. (8.1) is called integration by parts. In other words,
it can be stated as follows :
The integral of the product of two functions
= first function × integral of the second function
− integral of (differential coefficient of the first × integral of the
second). 97
Calculus We now illustrate this method through some examples.
Example 8.7
Integrate x ex with respect to x.
Solution
We use integration by parts.
Step 1
Take f ( x) = x and g ( x) = e x .
Then f ′ ( x) = 1 and ∫ e x dx = e x
Step 2
From Eq. (8.1), we have
∫ x e x dx = x e x − ∫ 1. e dx + c
x
or ∫ x e x dx = x e x − e x + c
Sometimes we need to integrate by parts more than once. We now illustrate it through the
following example.

8.5 INTEGRATION OF RATIONAL FUNCTIONS
We know, by now, that it is easy to integrate any polynomial function, that is, a function
f given by f ( x) = an x n + an −1 x n −1 + . . . + a0 . In this section, we shall see how a
rational function can be integrated.
Definition
Q ( x)
A function R is called a rational function if it is given by R ( x) = , where
P ( x)
Q (x) and P (x) are polynomials. It is defined for all x for which P (x) ≠ 0. If the
degree of Q (x) is less than the degree of P (x), we say that R (x) is a proper
rational function. Otherwise, it is called an improper rational function.
x +1 x3 + x + 5
Thus f ( x) = is a proper rational function, and g ( x) = is an
x2 + x + 2 x−2
17
improper one. But g (x) can also be written as g ( x) = ( x 2 + 3x + 6) + (by long
x−2
division).
Here we have expressed g (x), which is an improper rational function, as the sum of a
polynomial and a proper rational function. This can be done for any improper rational
function.
8.5.1 Some Simple Rational Functions
Now we shall consider some simple types of proper rational functions, like
1 1 x−m
, and 2 . We shall illustrate the method of integrating these
x − a (x − b) k
ax + bx + c
functions through some examples.
Example 8.10
1
Consider the function f ( x) = .
(x + 2) 4
Solution
To integrate this function we shall use the method of substitution.
du
Thus, if we put u = x + 2 or = 1 , and we can write
dx
1 1 u−3 1
∫ (x + 2) 4
dx = ∫ u 4
du =
−3
+c=−
3 (x + 2) 3
+ c.
Example 8.11
2x + 3
Consider the function f ( x) = .
x − 4x + 5
2
Solution
This has a quadratic polynomial in the denominator. Now
2x + 3 2x − 4 7
∫ x − 4x + 5
2
dx = ∫
x − 4x + 5
2
dx +
x − 4x + 5
2 ∫dx .
Perhaps you are wondering why we have split the integral into two parts.
The reason for this break-up is that now the integrand in the first integral on the
g ′ (x) g ′ (x)
right is of the form
g (x)
; and we know that
g (x) ∫
dx = ln | g ( x) | + c .
101
Calculus 2x − 4
Thus ∫ x − 4x + 5
2
dx = ln | x 2 − 4 x + 5| + c1 .
du
Now, if we put u = x − 2, = 1 and
dx
1 1
∫ x − 4x + 5
2
dx = ∫ u +1
2
du = tan −1 u + c2 = tan −1 ( x − 2) + c2
2x + 3
This implies, ∫ x − 4x + 5
2
dx = ln | x 2 − 4 x + 5| + 7 tan −1 (x − 2) + c .
You must have also come across polynomial like x 2 + x + 1 , which cannot be factorised
into real factors. Thus, it is not always possible to factorise a given polynomial into linear
factors. But any polynomial can, in principle, be factorised into linear and quadratic
factors. We shall not prove this statement here. It is a consequence of the fundamental
theorem of algebra. The actual factorization of a polynomial may not be very easy to
carry out. But, whenever we can factorise the denominator of a proper rational function,
we can integrate it by employing the method of partial fractions. The following examples
will illustrate this method.
Example 8.12
5x − 1
Let us evaluate ∫ x2 − 1
dx .
Solution
5x − 1
Here the integrand is a proper rational function.
x2 − 1
x 2 − 1 = ( x − 1) ( x + 1)
5x − 1
This suggests that we can write the decomposition of into partial fraction
x2 − 1
as :
5x − 1 5x − 1 A B
= = +
x −12 (x − 1) ( x + 1) (x − 1) (x + 1)
5 x − 1 = A ( x + 1) + B ( x − 1) .
That is 5 x − 1 = ( A + B) x + ( A − B)
102
By equalling the coefficients of x, we get A + B = 5. Equating the constant terms Integral Calculus
on both sides, we get A – B = − 1.
Solving these two equations in A and B, we get A = 2 and B = 3.
5x − 1 2 3
Thus, = +
x −12 x −1 x +1
= 2 ln | x − 1| + 3 ln | x + 1| + c
Let us go to our next example now.
Example 8.13
x
Evaluate ∫ x − 3x + 2
3
dx .
Solution
x
Take a look at the denominator of the integrand in ∫ x − 3x + 2
3

x A B C

x − 3x + 2
3 x + 2 x − 1 (x − 1) 2
x = A (x − 1) 2 + B (x + 2) (x − 1) + C (x + 2)
1 2
We put x = 1, and x = − 2, and get C = and A = − . Then to find B, let us put
3 9
any other convenient value, say x = 0.
This gives us 0 = A – 2B + 2C
2 2
or 0=− − 2B +
9 3
2
This implies B =

x 2 1 2 1 1 1
Thus ∫ x − 3x + 2

9 9 3 (x − 1)
2 x −1 1

9 x+2 3 (x − 1)
In our next example, we shall consider the case when the denominator of the integrand
contains an irreducible quadratic factors (i.e. a quadratic factor which cannot be further
factored into linear factors).
Example 8.14 103
Calculus 6 x 3 − 11x 2 + 5 x − 4
Evaluate ∫ x 4 − 2 x3 + x 2 − 2 x
dx
We factorise x 4 − 2 x 3 + x 2 − 2 x as x ( x − 2) ( x 2 + 1) .
6 x 3 − 11x 2 + 5 x − 4 A B Cx + D
Then we write = + + 2
x − 2x + x − 2x
4 3 2 x ( x − 2) x +1
Thus
6 x 3 − 11x 2 + 5 x − 4 = A ( x − 2) ( x 2 + 1) + B x ( x 2 + 1) + (Cx + D) x ( x − 2)
Next, we substitute x = 0, and x = 2, to get A = 2 and B = 1. Then we put
x = 1 and x = − 1 (some convenient values) to get C = 3 and D = − 1.

Thus, you see, once we decompose integrand, which is a proper rational function, into
partial fractions, then the given integral can be written as the sum of some integrals of the
type discussed in previous examples.
All the functions which we integrated till now were proper rational functions. Now we
shall take up an example of an improper rational function.
Example 8.15
x3 + 2 x
Let us evaluate ∫ x2 − x − 2
dx .
Solution
Since the integrand is an improper rational function, we shall first write it as the
sum of a polynomial and a proper rational function.
x3 + 2 x 5x + 2
Now = ( x + 1) +

Consider the area of Figure 8.1. Let us find the area of this region. Integral Calculus
Let AM and BN be the ordinates for x = a and x = b. Divide MN into n equal parts of
length h each and let M 1 P1 , M 2 P2 , . . . , M n −1 Pn −1 be the ordinates at
b−a
M 1 , M 2 , . . . , M n −1 , then nh = b – a, i.e. h = .
n
Also abscissae of the point A, P1 , P2 , . . . , Pn −1 , B are
a, a + h, a + 2h, . . . , a + n −1 h, b .
∴ MA = f (a)
M 1 P1 = f ( a + h)
M 2 P2 = f ( a + 2h)
:
:
M n −1 Pn −1 = f ( a + n − 1 h)
MB = f (b)
We consider the left end points of these sub regions and construct rectangles
1, 2, 3, . . . , n as shown in Figure 8.1.
Area of the first rectangle = h f (a)
Area of the second rectangle = h f (a + h)
Area of the third rectangle = h f (a + 2h)
..................................
..................................
..................................
Area of the nth rectangle = h f (a + n − 1 h)
The expression on the R. H. S of Eq. (1) is called the definite integral of f (x) from a to b
b
and is denoted by ∫a f ( x) dx , where a is called the lower limit and b is called the upper
limit.
b
Thus, ∫a f ( x) dx = Lt [ f (a ) + f (a + 2h) + . . . + f (a + n − 1 h)] , where nh = b – a.
h→0
Cor.
b
∫a f ( x) dx = the area of the region below the curve y = f ( x) above the
x-axis and bounded by the ordinates x = a and x = b.
Remarks
For simplicity of the above concept, we have taken non-negative values of
f (x). In fact it makes sense for negative values of f (x) as well.

8.9 FUNDAMENTAL THEOREM OF CALCULUS
8.9.1 Area Function
b
We have defined ∫a f ( x) dx as the area of the region bounded by the curve y = f ( x) ,
x-axis and the ordinates x = a and x = b. Let x ∈ [a, b] .
x
Then ∫a f ( x) dx represents the area of the shaded region in Figure 8.2.
Figure 8.2
The area of this shaded region depends on x, i.e. in other words is a function of x. We
denote it by A (x)
x
∴ A ( x) = ∫a f ( x) dx
= F (b) − F (a)
Hence, there is no need to keep the integration constant c in definite
integrals.

8.9.4 Evaluation of a Definite Integral by Substitution
a
When we use the method of substitution for evaluating an integral ∫b f (x) dx , we
follow the following steps :
Step 1
Substitute x = g (y).
Step 2
Integrate the new integrand with respect to y.
Step 3
Resubstitute the value of y in terms of x in the answer.
Step 4
Find the value of the answer in Step 3 at the given limits and find the difference.
In order to quicken this method we can proceed as follows :
After performing Step 2, there is no need for Step 3. Instead the integral will be kept in
the new variable y and the limit of the integral will be accordingly changed.

Then ∫a f ( x) dx = F (b) − F (a) = − [ F (a) − F (b)] = − ∫b f ( x) dx

8.11 APPLICATIONS
We have seen that the area below (or above) the curve y = f (x), above (or below) the
x-axis and between the ordinates x = a and x = b is represented by the definite integral
b b
∫a f ( x) dx = ∫a y dx
Likewise the area enclosed between the graph of the curve x = F (y), y-axis and the lines
y = c, y = d is given by
d d
∫c F ( y) dy = ∫c x dy
Example 8.31
Draw a rough sketch of the curve y = 3 x + 4 and find the area under the curve,
above the x-axis and between x = 0, x = 4.
Solution
y = 3x + 4

∴ Its domain consists of those x for which 3 x + 4 ≥ 0 , i.e. x ≥ − .

The main points covered in this unit are
• Given the derivative of a function, the process to find the function is called
antidifferentiation and the result of antidifferentiation is called an
antiderivative.
• The indefinite integral ∫ f (x) dx denotes the class of all antiderivatives of
f (x).
• (a) ∫ K f (x) dx = K ∫ f (x) dx
