INTEGRATION CONCEPTS/FORMULAS
This lesson provides the students an introduction to indefinite integrals and how to operate
integrals of different functions, and later the definite integrals.
V. COURSE CONTENT
INTRODUCTION
Often, we know the relationship involving the rate of change of two variables, but we may need to
know the direct relationship between the two variables. For example, we may know the velocity of an
object at a particular time, but we may want to know the position of the object at that time.
To find this direct relationship, we need to use the process which is opposite to differentiation.
This is called integration (or antidifferentiation).
The indefinite integral represents a family of functions whose derivatives are 𝑓 . The difference
between any two functions in the family is a constant. The integral key, which is used to find definite
integrals, can also be used to find indefinite integrals by simply omitting the limits of integration.
Anti-differentiation or indefinite integral perform the opposite process to differentiation. For example, if
we know that
𝑑𝑦
= 3𝑥 2 .
𝑑𝑥
We wish to perform the opposite process to differentiation. This is called "antidifferentiation" and later,
we will call it "integration".
𝑦 = 𝑥 3 is one antiderivative of
𝑑𝑦
= 3𝑥 2
𝑑𝑥
There are infinitely many other antiderivatives which would also work, for example:
𝑦 = 𝑥3 + 9 or 𝑦 = 𝑥 3 + 6 .
Example 1:
Find the antiderivative of the function 𝑓(𝑥) = 1/𝑥.
Solution:
From our previous lesson on differential calculus,
𝑑 1
(ln|𝑥 |) = .
𝑑𝑥 𝑥
Thus, 𝐹 (𝑥 ) = ln|𝑥 | is an antiderivative of 1/𝑥. Therefore, every antiderivative of 1/𝑥 is the form
ln|𝑥 | + 𝐶 for some constant 𝐶 and every function of the form ln|𝑥 | + 𝐶 is an antiderivative of 1/𝑥.
Example 2:
Find the antiderivative of the function 𝑓(𝑥) = cos 𝑥.
Solution:
Recall that
𝑑
(sin 𝑥) = cos 𝑥.
𝑑𝑥
So 𝐹(𝑥) = sin 𝑥 is an antiderivative of cos 𝑥. Therefore, every antiderivative of cos 𝑥 is of the form
sin 𝑥 + 𝐶 for some constant 𝐶 and every function of the form sin 𝑥 + 𝐶 is an antiderivative of cos 𝑥.
The sign is an elongated "S", standing for "sum". Later we will see that the integral is the sum of the
areas of infinitesimally thin rectangles. This elongated “S" notation was introduced by Leibniz when he
developed the concepts of integration.
Sometimes we write a capital letter to signify integration. For example, we write 𝐹(𝑥) to mean the
integral of 𝑓(𝑥).
The function we want to find an anti-derivative, 𝑓(𝑥), is called the integrand. It contains the differential of
the variable we are integrating with respect to.
∫ 𝑑𝑥 = 𝑥 + 𝐶
The integral of the sum of two functions is equal to the sum of the integrals of each function.
The integral of the difference of two functions is equal to the difference of the integrals of each function.
∫ 𝑐𝑓(𝑥)𝑑𝑥 = 𝑐 ∫ 𝑓(𝑥)𝑑𝑥
Example 1:
Integrate the function 𝑓(𝑥) = 𝑥 + 4.
Solution:
∫(𝑥 + 4) 𝑑𝑥 = ∫ 𝑥 𝑑𝑥 + ∫ 4𝑑𝑥
= ∫ 𝑥 𝑑𝑥 + 4 ∫ 𝑑𝑥

alone.

Example 2:
Evaluate
5
∫ (3𝑥 2 + √𝑥 − ) 𝑑𝑥.

Solution:
Our first step is to re-write the exponents so it is easier to integrate:

∫ (3𝑥 2 + √𝑥 − ) 𝑑𝑥 = ∫(3𝑥 2 + 𝑥 1/2 − 5𝑥 −3 )𝑑𝑥
𝑥3
We obtain the following integral formulas by reversing the formulas for differentiation of trigonometric
functions:
∫ 𝐬𝐢𝐧 𝒙 𝒅𝒙 = − 𝐜𝐨𝐬 𝒙 + 𝑪 ∫ 𝐜𝐨𝐬 𝒙 𝒅𝒙 = 𝐬𝐢𝐧 𝒙 + 𝑪
We will limit our discussion for simple trigonometric functions for those functions with known derivatives
for the reason that some trigonometric functions, even though it is in its basic form, when we integrate
them yields to a complicated process and they will be discussed in different subject lessons.
The integrals of tangent, cotangent, secant, and cosecant will be discussed in the Logarithmic
Functions.

The simple power formula is valid for all values of n except n = −1.
If n = −1, we need to take the opposite of the derivative of the logarithmic function to solve such cases:
𝒅𝒙
∫ = 𝐥𝐧 |𝒙| + 𝑪
𝒙
The ∣ ∣ (absolute value) signs around the 𝑥 are necessary since the log of a negative number is not
defined.
In words, this means that if we have the derivative of a function in the numerator (top) of a fraction, and
the function in the denominator (bottom) of the fraction, then the integral of the fraction will be the natural
logarithm of the function.
Example 1:

remarkable result:

Hyperbolic functions occur in the calculations of angles and distances in hyperbolic geometry.
They also occur in the solutions of many linear differential equations (such as the equation
defining a catenary), cubic equations, and Laplace's equation in Cartesian coordinates. Laplace's
equations are important in many areas of physics, including electromagnetic theory, heat
transfer, fluid dynamics, and special relativity.

1.8A U-SUBSTITUTION
The method of u-substitution is a method for algebraically simplifying the form of a function so
that its antiderivative can be easily recognized.
EXAMPLE:
Evaluate
∫ 𝑥 3 √1 − 𝑥 2 𝑑𝑥.
Use the variable 𝑢 to substitute the value 1 − 𝑥 2 . Then, by further algebraic operations;
𝑑𝑢 = −2𝑥 𝑑𝑥
𝑥2 = 1 − 𝑢
−2𝑥 𝑑𝑥
∫ 𝑥 3 √1 − 𝑥 2 𝑑𝑥 = ∫ 𝑥 2 √1 − 𝑥 2 ( )
−2
1
∫ 𝑥 3 √1 − 𝑥 2 𝑑𝑥 = − ∫ 𝑥 2 √1 − 𝑥 2 (−2𝑥 𝑑𝑥)
2
1
∫ 𝑥 3 √1 − 𝑥 2 𝑑𝑥 = − ∫(1 − 𝑢) √𝑢 𝑑𝑢
2
1
∫ 𝑥 3 √1 − 𝑥 2 𝑑𝑥 = − ∫(𝑢1/2 − 𝑢3/2 ) 𝑑𝑢
2
Note that the new form of the problem can be easily integrated by using the integral of difference rule
together with the simple power formula.

∫ 𝑥 3 √1 − 𝑥 2 𝑑𝑥 = − [ − ]+𝐶

∫ 𝑥 3 √1 − 𝑥 2 𝑑𝑥 = − +𝐶
5 3
𝑢𝑛+1
∫ 𝑢𝑛 𝑑𝑢 = +𝐶 𝑛 ≠ −1
𝑛+1
When using the General Power Rule, you must first identify a factor 𝑢 of the integrand that is raised to a
power. Then, you must show that its derivative is also a factor of the integrand.
Many times, part of the derivative is missing from the integrand, and in some cases, you can make the
necessary adjustments to apply the General Power Rule.

In calculus, the constant of integration, often denoted by 𝐶 , is a constant added to the end of an
antiderivative of a function 𝑓(𝑥) to indicate that the indefinite integral of 𝑓(𝑥) (i.e., the set of all
antiderivatives of 𝑓(𝑥) ) on a connected domain, is only defined up to an additive constant. This constant
expresses an ambiguity inherent in the construction of antiderivatives.
More specifically, if a function 𝑓(𝑥) is defined on an interval, and 𝐹(𝑥) is an antiderivative of 𝑓(𝑥), then the
set of all antiderivatives of 𝑓(𝑥) is given by the function 𝐹(𝑥) + 𝐶 , where 𝐶 is an arbitrary constant
(meaning that any value of 𝐶 would make 𝐹(𝑥) + 𝐶 a valid antiderivative).
Example 1:

When integration was introduced as the reverse of differentiation, the integrals were indefinite integrals.
The result of finding an indefinite integral is usually a function plus a constant of integration. Definite
integrals, so called because the result will be a definite answer, usually a number, with no constant of
integration. Definite integrals have many applications, for example in finding areas bounded by curves,
and finding volumes of solids.
Definite integrals can be recognized by numbers written to the upper and lower right of the integral sign.
The quantity
𝑥=𝑏
∫ 𝑓 (𝑥 )𝑑𝑥
𝑥=𝑎
is called the definite integral of 𝑓(𝑥) from a to b. The numbers a and b are known as the lower and upper
limits of the integral. This integral is commonly written as
𝑏
∫ 𝑓 (𝑥 )𝑑𝑥
𝑎
First of all, the integration of is performed in the normal way. However, to show we are dealing with a
definite integral, the result is usually enclosed in square brackets and the limits of integration are written
on the right bracket:
𝑏 𝑏
∫ 𝑓 (𝑥 )𝑑𝑥 = 𝐹(𝑥) |
𝑎 𝑎
= 𝐹 (𝑏) − 𝐹(𝑎)

onto the integral when we do.
