Integrals Class 12 Maths Chapter 7 CBSE Notes - 2025-26

Differentiation is the inverse of integration. Integration is the process of determining a function whose differential coefficient is known.

So from the above, if the differential coefficient of ${\text{F}}({\text{x}})$ is $f({\text{x}})$

i.e. $\dfrac{{\text{d}}}{{{\text{dx}}}}[{\text{F}}({\text{x}})] = f({\text{x}})$, then one can say that the antiderivative or integral of $f(x)$ is $F(x)$, written as $\int f (x)dx = F(x)$,

Here $\int {\text{d}} {\text{x}}$ is the notation of integration $f({\text{x}})$ is the integrand, $x$ is the variable of integration and dx denotes the integration with respect to ${\text{X}}$.

Indefinite Integral:

We know that if $\dfrac{{\text{d}}}{{{\text{dx}}}}[{\text{F}}({\text{x}})] = f({\text{x}})$, then $\int f ({\text{x}}){\text{dx}} = {\text{F}}({\text{x}})$.

Also, for any arbitrary constant C,

$\dfrac{{\text{d}}}{{{\text{dx}}}}[{\text{F}}({\text{x}}) + {\text{C}}] = \dfrac{{\text{d}}}{{{\text{dx}}}}[{\text{F}}({\text{x}})] + 0 = f({\text{x}})$

$\therefore \int f ({\text{x}}){\text{dx}} = {\text{F}}({\text{x}}) + {\text{C}}$

This shows that ${\text{F}}({\text{x}})$ and ${\text{F}}({\text{x}}) + {\text{C}}$ are both integrals of the same function ${\text{f}}({\text{x}})$. Thus, for different values of ${\text{C}}$, we obtain different integrals of ${\text{f}}({\text{x}})$. This implies that the integral of ${\text{f}}({\text{x}})$ is not definite. By virtue of this property ${\text{F}}({\text{x}})$ is called the indefinite integral of ${\text{f}}({\text{x}})$.

1.1 Properties of Indefinite Integration

1. $\quad \dfrac{{\text{d}}}{{{\text{dx}}}}\left[ {\int {\text{f}} ({\text{x}}){\text{dx}}} \right] = f({\text{x}})$

2. $\int {{f^\prime }} (x){\text{dx}} = \int {\dfrac{{\text{d}}}{{{\text{dx}}}}} [f({\text{x}})]{\text{dx}} = f({\text{x}}) + {\text{c}}$

3. $\quad \int {\text{k}} f({\text{x}}){\text{dx}} = {\text{k}}\int f ({\text{x}}){\text{dx}}$, where ${\text{k}}$ is any constant

4. If ${f_1}({\text{x}}),{f_2}({\text{x}}),{f_3}({\text{x}}), \ldots $ (finite in number) are functions of ${\text{x}}$, then

$ \int{\left[ {{f}_{1}}(x)\pm {{f}_{2}}(x)\pm {{f}_{3}}(x)\ldots  \right]}dx $

$   =\int{{{f}_{1}}}(x)dx\pm \int{{{f}_{2}}}(x)dx\pm \int{{{f}_{3}}}(x)dx\pm \text{ }\!\!~\!\!\text{ }\ldots \text{ }\!\!~\!\!\text{ } $

5. If $\int f (x)dx = F(x) + c$ then $\int f (ax \pm b)dx = \dfrac{1}{a}F(ax \pm b) + c$

1.2 Standard Formula of Integration

The definition of an integral has the following conclusions as a direct result.

1. $\quad \int {{x^n}} dx = \dfrac{{{x^{n + 1}}}}{{n + 1}} + C,n \ne  - 1$.

2. $\quad \int {\dfrac{1}{x}} dx = \log |x| + C$

3. $\int {{{\text{e}}^{\text{x}}}} {\text{dx}} = {{\text{e}}^{\text{x}}} + {\text{C}}$

4. $\int {{{\text{a}}^{\text{x}}}} {\text{dx}} = \dfrac{{{{\text{a}}^{\text{x}}}}}{{{{\log }_{\text{e}}}{\text{a}}}} + {\text{C}}$.

5. $\quad \int {\sin } xdx =  - \cos x + C$

6. $\quad \int {\cos } xdx = \sin x + C$

7. $\int {{{\sec }^2}} xdx = \tan x + C$

8. $\quad \int {{{\operatorname{cosec} }^2}} xdx =  - \cot x + C$

9. $\quad \int {\sec } x\tan xdx = \sec x + C$

10. $\int {\operatorname{cosec} } x\cot xdx =  - \operatorname{cosec} x + C$.

11. $\int {\tan } xdx =  - \log |\cos x| + C = \log |\sec x| + C$.

12. $\int {\cot } xdx = \log |\sin x| + C$

13. $\int {\sec } xdx = \log |\sec x + \tan x| + C$

14. $\int {\operatorname{cosec} } xdx = \log |\operatorname{cosec} x - \cot x| + C$

15. $\int {\dfrac{{{\text{dx}}}}{{\sqrt {1 - {{\text{x}}^2}} }}}  = {\sin ^{ - 1}}{\text{x}} + {\text{C}};|{\text{x}}| < 1$

16. $\int {\dfrac{{dx}}{{1 + {x^2}}}}  = {\tan ^{ - 1}}x + C$

17. $\int {\dfrac{{{\text{dx}}}}{{{\text{x}}\sqrt {{{\text{x}}^2} - 1} }}}  = {\sec ^{ - 1}}|{\text{x}}| + {\text{C}};|{\text{x}}| > 1$

2. Methods of Integration

2.1 Method of Substitution

By using the suitable substitution, the variable $x$ in $\int f (x)dx$ is changed into another variable $t$ so that the integrand $f(x)$ is changed into ${\text{F}}({\text{t}})$ is an algebraic sum of standard integrals or a standard integral. There is no universal formula for determining a suitable substitute, and experience is the greatest guidance in this regard.

The Following Ideas, on the Other Hand, will be Beneficial.

1. If the integrand is of the form ${f^\prime }(ax + b)$, then we

put $ax + b = t$ and $dx = \dfrac{1}{a}dt$

Thus, $\int {{f^\prime }} (ax + b)dx = \int {{f^\prime }} (t)\dfrac{{dt}}{a}$

$ = \dfrac{1}{a}\int {{f^\prime }} (t)dt = \dfrac{{f(t)}}{a} = \dfrac{{f(ax + b)}}{a} + c$

2. When the integrand is of the form ${x^{n - 1}}{f^\prime }\left( {{x^n}} \right)$, we put ${x^n} = t$ and $n{x^{n - 1}}dx = dt$

Thus, $\int {{x^{n - 1}}} {f^\prime }\left( {{x^n}} \right)dx = \int {{f^\prime }} (t)\dfrac{{dt}}{n} = \dfrac{1}{n}$

$\int {{f^\prime }} ({\text{t}}){\text{dt}} = \dfrac{1}{{\text{n}}}f({\text{t}}) = \dfrac{1}{{\text{n}}}f\left( {{{\text{x}}^{\text{n}}}} \right) + {\text{c}}$

3. When the integrand is of the form ${[f(x)]^n} \cdot {f^\prime }(x)$, we put $f(x) = t$ and ${f^\prime }(x)dx = dt$

Thus, ${\text{(Tex translation failed)}}$

4. When the integrand is of the form $\dfrac{{{f^\prime }(x)}}{{f(x)}}$, we put

$f({\text{x}}) = {\text{t}}$ and ${f^\prime }({\text{x}}){\text{dx}} = {\text{dt}}$

Thus, $\int {\dfrac{{{f^\prime }({\text{x}})}}{{f({\text{x}})}}} {\text{dx}} = \int {\dfrac{{{\text{dt}}}}{{\text{t}}}}  = \log |{\text{t}}| = \log |f({\text{x}})| + {\text{c}}$

2.1.1 Some Special Integrals

1. $\int {\dfrac{{dx}}{{{x^2} + {a^2}}}}  = \dfrac{1}{a}{\tan ^{ - 1}}\dfrac{x}{a} + C$

2. $\quad \int {\dfrac{{{\text{dx}}}}{{{{\text{x}}^2} - {{\text{a}}^2}}}}  = \dfrac{1}{{2{\text{a}}}}\log \left| {\dfrac{{{\text{x}} - {\text{a}}}}{{{\text{x}} + {\text{a}}}}} \right| + {\text{C}}$

3. $\quad \int {\dfrac{{dx}}{{{a^2} - {x^2}}}}  = \dfrac{1}{{2a}}\log \left| {\dfrac{{a + x}}{{a - x}}} \right| + C$

4. $\int {\dfrac{{dx}}{{\sqrt {{a^2} - {x^2}} }}}  = {\sin ^{ - 1}}\dfrac{x}{a} + C$

5. $\quad \int {\dfrac{{dx}}{{\sqrt {{x^2} + {a^2}} }}}  = \log \left| {x + \sqrt {{x^2} + {a^2}} } \right| + C$

6. $\int {\dfrac{{dx}}{{\sqrt {{x^2} - {a^2}} }}}  = \log \left| {x + \sqrt {{x^2} - {a^2}} } \right| + C$

7. $\int {\sqrt {{a^2} - {x^2}} } dx = \dfrac{x}{2}\sqrt {{a^2} - {x^2}}  + \dfrac{{{a^2}}}{2}{\sin ^{ - 1}}\dfrac{x}{a} + C$.

8. $\quad \int {\sqrt {{x^2} + {a^2}} } dx = \dfrac{x}{2}\sqrt {{x^2} + {a^2}}  + \dfrac{{{a^2}}}{2}\log \left| {x + \sqrt {{x^2} + {a^2}} } \right| + C$

9. $\quad \int {\sqrt {{x^2} - {a^2}} } dx = \dfrac{x}{2}\sqrt {{x^2} - {a^2}}  - \dfrac{{{a^2}}}{2}\log \left| {x + \sqrt {{x^2} - {a^2}} } \right| + C$

$\int f \left( {{a^2} + {x^2}} \right)dx,\quad x = a\tan \theta $ or $x = a\cot \theta $

$\int f \left( {{x^2} - {a^2}} \right)dx,\quad x = a\sec \theta $ or $x = a\operatorname{cosec} \theta $

$\int f \left( {\dfrac{{a - x}}{{a + x}}} \right)dx$ or $\int f \left( {\dfrac{{a + x}}{{a - x}}} \right)dx\quad x = a\cos 2\theta $

2.1.3 Integrals of the Form

1. $\int {\dfrac{{dx}}{{a{x^2} + bx + c}}} $

2. $\int {\dfrac{{{\text{dx}}}}{{\sqrt {{\text{a}}{{\text{x}}^2} + {\text{bx}} + {\text{c}}} }}} $

3. $\int {\sqrt {a{x^2} + bx + c} } dxa$,

Working Rule

(i)Make the coefficient of ${x^2}$ unity by taking the coefficient of ${{\text{x}}^2}$ outside the quadratic.

(ii) Complete the square in the terms involving $x$, i.e. write $a{x^2} + bx + c$ in the form

$a\left[ {{{\left( {x + \dfrac{b}{{2a}}} \right)}^2}} \right] - \dfrac{{\left( {{b^2} - 4ac} \right)}}{{4a}}$

(iii) One of the nine special integrals is used to transform the integrand.

(iv) Then just integrate the function.

2.1.4 Integrals of the Form

1. $\int {\dfrac{{px + q}}{{a{x^2} + bx + c}}} dx$

2. $\int {\dfrac{{{\text{px}} + {\text{q}}}}{{\sqrt {a{x^2} + bx + c} }}} {\text{dx}}$

3. $\int {(px + q)} \sqrt {a{x^2} + bx + c} dx$

Integral Working Rule

$\int {\dfrac{{{\text{px}} + {\text{q}}}}{{{\text{a}}{{\text{x}}^2} + {\text{bx}} + {\text{c}}}}} {\text{dx}}$ Put ${\text{px}} + {\text{q}} = \lambda (2{\text{ax}} + {\text{b}}) + \mu $ or ${\text{px}} + {\text{q}} = \lambda $ (derivative of quadratic) $ + \mu $.

When the coefficient of x and the constant term on both sides are compared, we obtain

${\text{p}} = 2{\text{a}}\lambda $ and ${\text{q}} = {\text{b}}\lambda  + \mu  \Rightarrow \lambda  = \dfrac{{}}{{2{\text{a}}}}$ and $\mu  = \left( {{\text{q}} - \dfrac{{{\text{bp}}}}{{2{\text{a}}}}} \right)$. 

Then integral becomes

$\int {\dfrac{{px + q}}{{a{x^2} + bx + c}}} dx$

$ = \dfrac{{2{\text{ax}} + {\text{b}}}}{{2{\text{a}}}}\int {\dfrac{{{\text{dx}}}}{{{\text{a}}{{\text{x}}^2} + {\text{bx}} + {\text{c}}}}} {\text{dx}} + \left( {{\text{q}} - \dfrac{{{\text{bp}}}}{{2{\text{a}}}}} \right)\int {\dfrac{{\text{d}}}{{{\text{a}}{{\text{x}}^2} + {\text{bx}} + {\text{c}}}}} $

$ = \dfrac{{dx}}{{2a}}\log \left| {a{x^2} + bx + c} \right| + \left( {q - \dfrac{{bp}}{{2a}}} \right)\int {\dfrac{{dx}}{{a{x^2} + bx + c}}} $

$\int {\dfrac{{{\text{px}} + {\text{q}}}}{{\sqrt {{\text{a}}{{\text{x}}^2} + {\text{bx}} + {\text{c}}} }}} {\text{dx}}$ 

In this case the integral becomes

$\int {\dfrac{{{\text{px}} + {\text{q}}}}{{\sqrt {a{x^2} + bx + c} }}} dx = $

$\dfrac{p}{{2a}}\int {\dfrac{{2ax + b}}{{\sqrt {a{x^2} + bx + c} }}} dx + \left( {q - \dfrac{{bp}}{{2a}}} \right)\int {\dfrac{{dx}}{{\sqrt {a{x^2} + bx + c} }}} $

$ = \dfrac{p}{a}\sqrt {a{x^2} + bx + c}  + \left( {q - \dfrac{{bp}}{{2a}}} \right)\int {\dfrac{{dx}}{{\sqrt {a{x^2} + bx + c} }}} $

$\int {(px + q)} \sqrt {a{x^2} + bx + c} dx$

In this example, the integral is transformed to

$\int {(px + q)} \sqrt {a{x^2} + bx + c} dx = \dfrac{p}{{2a}}\int {(2ax + b)} \sqrt {a{x^2} + bx + c} dx$

$ + \left( {{\text{q}} - \dfrac{{{\text{bp}}}}{{2{\text{a}}}}} \right)\int {\sqrt {{\text{a}}{{\text{x}}^2} + {\text{bx}} + {\text{c}}} } {\text{dx}}$

$ = \dfrac{{\text{p}}}{{3{\text{a}}}}{\left( {{\text{a}}{{\text{x}}^2} + {\text{bx}} + {\text{c}}} \right)^{3/2}} + \left( {{\text{q}} - \dfrac{{{\text{bp}}}}{{2{\text{a}}}}} \right)\int {\sqrt {{\text{a}}{{\text{x}}^2} + {\text{bx}} + {\text{c}}} } {\text{dx}}$

2.1.5 Integrals of the Form

$\int {\dfrac{{{\text{P}}({\text{x}})}}{{\sqrt {{\text{a}}{{\text{x}}^2} + {\text{bx}} + {\text{c}}} }}} {\text{dx}}$, where ${\text{P}}({\text{x}})$ is a polynomial in ${\text{x}}$ of degree ${\text{n}} \geqslant 2$.

Working Rule: Write

$  {\int {\dfrac{{{\text{P}}({\text{x}})}}{{\sqrt {a{x^2} + bx + c} }}} dx = } $

$  { = \left( {{a_0} + {a_1}x + {a_2}{x^2} +  \ldots  + {a_{n - 1}}{x^{n - 1}}} \right)\sqrt {a{x^2} + bx + c}  + k\int {\dfrac{{dx}}{{\sqrt {a{x^2} + bx + c} }}} } $

where ${\text{k}},{{\text{a}}_0},{{\text{a}}_1}, \ldots {{\text{a}}_{{\text{n}} - 1}}$ are constants that may be found by separating the above relation and equating the coefficients of various powers of$x$ on both sides.

2.1.6 Integrals of the Form

$\int {\dfrac{{{x^2} + 1}}{{{x^4} + k{x^2} + 1}}} dx\quad $ or $\quad \int {\dfrac{{{x^2} - 1}}{{{x^4} + k{x^2} + 1}}} dx$

where ${\text{k}}$ is a constant positive, negative or zero.

Working Rule

(i) ${{\text{x}}^2}$ is divided into the numerator and denominator.

(ii) Put $x - \dfrac{1}{x} = z$ or $x + \dfrac{1}{x} = z$, Whatever substitution yields the numerator of the resultant integrand on differentiation

(iii) In ${\text{Z}}$, evaluate the resultant integral.

(iv) In terms of X, express the outcome.

2.1.7 Integrals of the Form

$\int {\dfrac{{{\text{dx}}}}{{{\text{P}}\sqrt {\text{Q}} }}} $, where ${\text{P}},{\text{Q}}$ are linear or quadratic functions of ${\text{x}}$.

Integral Substitution

$\int {\dfrac{1}{{(ax + b)\sqrt {cx + d} }}} dx$

$cx + d = {z^2}$

$\int {\dfrac{{dx}}{{\left( {a{x^2} + bx + c} \right)\sqrt {px + q} }}} \quad px + q = {z^2}$

$\int {\dfrac{{dx}}{{(px + q)\sqrt {a{x^2} + bx + c} }}} \quad px + q = \dfrac{1}{z}$

$\int {\dfrac{{dx}}{{\left( {a{x^2} + b} \right)\sqrt {c{x^2} + d} }}} \quad x = \dfrac{1}{z}$

3. Method of Partial Fractions For Rational Functions

By resolving the integrand into partial fractions, Integrals of the type $\int {\dfrac{{p(x)}}{{g(x)}}} $  may be integrated. 

The Following is How we Proceed:

First of all check the degree of $p({\text{x}})$ and $g({\text{x}})$.

If degree of $p({\text{x}}) \geqslant $ degree of $g({\text{x}})$, then divide $p({\text{x}})$ by $g$(x) till its degree is less, i.e. put in the form $\dfrac{{p({\text{x}})}}{{g({\text{x}})}} = {\text{r}}({\text{x}}) + \dfrac{{f({\text{x}})}}{{g({\text{x}})}}$ where degree of $f({\text{x}}) < $ degree of$g({\text{x}})$

CASE 1: When there are non-repeated linear components in the denominator. i.e.

$g({\text{x}}) = \left( {{\text{x}} - {\alpha _1}} \right)\left( {{\text{x}} - {\alpha _2}} \right) \ldots \left( {{\text{x}} - {\alpha _{\text{n}}}} \right)$

In such a case write $f({\text{x}})$ and $g$ as:

$\dfrac{{f({\text{x}})}}{{g({\text{x}})}} = \dfrac{{{{\text{A}}_1}}}{{\left( {{\text{x}} - {\alpha _1}} \right)}} + \dfrac{{{{\text{A}}_2}}}{{\left( {{\text{x}} - {\alpha _2}} \right)}} +  \ldots  + \dfrac{{{{\text{A}}_{\text{n}}}}}{{\left( {{\text{x}} - {\alpha _{\text{n}}}} \right)}}$

After extracting L.C.M., compare the coefficients of various powers on both sides to get the constants ${A_1},{A_2}, \ldots {A_n}$.

CASE 2: When there are both repeated and non-repeated linear factors in the denominator.

i.e.$g({\text{x}}) = {\left( {{\text{x}} - {\alpha _1}} \right)^2}\left( {{\text{x}} - {\alpha _3}} \right) \ldots \left( {{\text{x}} - {\alpha _{\text{n}}}} \right)$

In such a case write $f(x)$ and $g(x)$ as:

$\dfrac{{f({\text{x}})}}{{g({\text{x}})}} = \dfrac{{{{\text{A}}_1}}}{{{\text{x}} - {\alpha _1}}} + \dfrac{{{{\text{A}}_2}}}{{{{\left( {{\text{x}} - {\alpha _1}} \right)}^2}}} + \dfrac{{{{\text{A}}_3}}}{{{\text{x}} - {\alpha _3}}} +  \ldots  + \dfrac{{{{\text{A}}_{\text{n}}}}}{{\left( {{\text{x}} - {\alpha _{\text{n}}}} \right)}}$

After extracting L.C.M., compare the coefficients of various powers on both sides to get the constants ${A_1},{A_2}, \ldots {A_n}$.

Note: corresponding to a linear factor that has been repeated${({\text{x}} - {\text{a}})^{\text{r}}}$ in the denominator, a sum of $r$ partial fractions of the type $\dfrac{{{{\text{A}}_1}}}{{{\text{x}} - {\text{a}}}} + \dfrac{{{{\text{A}}_2}}}{{{{({\text{x}} - {\text{a}})}^2}}} +  \ldots  + \dfrac{{{{\text{A}}_{\text{r}}}}}{{{{({\text{x}} - {\text{a}})}^r}}}$ is taken.

CASE 3: When there is a non-repeated quadratic component in the denominator that cannot be factored further:

$g({\text{x}}) = \left( {{\text{a}}{{\text{x}}^2} + {\text{bx}} + {\text{c}}} \right)\left( {{\text{x}} - {\alpha _3}} \right)\left( {{\text{x}} - {\alpha _4}} \right) \ldots \left( {{\text{x}} - {\alpha _{\text{n}}}} \right)$

In such a case express $f(x)$ and $g(x)$ as:

$\dfrac{{f(x)}}{{g(x)}} = \dfrac{{{A_1}x + {A_2}}}{{a{x^2} + bx + c}} + \dfrac{{{A_3}}}{{x - {\alpha _3}}} +  \ldots  + \dfrac{{{A_n}}}{{x - {\alpha _n}}}$

After extracting L.C.M., compare the coefficients of various powers on both sides to get the constants ${A_1},{A_2}, \ldots {A_n}$.

CASE 4: When there is a repeating quadratic component in the denominator that cannot be factored further:

i.e. $g(x) = {\left( {a{x^2} + bx + c} \right)^2}\left( {x - {\alpha _5}} \right)\left( {x - {\alpha _6}} \right) \ldots \left( {x - {\alpha _n}} \right)$

In such a case write $f({\text{x}})$ and $g({\text{x}})$ as

$  {\dfrac{{f(x)}}{{g(x)}} = \dfrac{{{A_1}x + {A_2}}}{{a{x^2} + bx + c}} + \dfrac{{{A_3}x + {A_4}}}{{{{\left( {a{x^2} + bx + c} \right)}^2}}} + } $

$  {\dfrac{{{A_5}}}{{x - {\alpha _5}}} +  \ldots  + \dfrac{{{A_n}}}{{\left( {x - {\alpha _n}} \right)}}} $

After extracting L.C.M., compare the coefficients of various powers on both sides to get the constants ${A_1},{A_2}, \ldots {A_n}$.

CASE 5: If $x$ will be the even power then

(i) Put ${{\text{x}}^2} = {\text{z}}$ in the integrand.

(ii) Resolve the resulting rational expression in ${\text{z}}$ into partial fractions

(iii) Put ${\text{z}} = {{\text{x}}^2}$ again in the partial fractions and then integrate both sides.

4. Method of Integration by Parts

Integration by parts refers to the process of combining the output of two functions.

e.g. if $u$ and $v$ are two functions of $x$, then $\int {(uv)} {\text{dx}} = u \cdot \int v \;{\text{dx}} - \int {\left( {\dfrac{{{\text{d}}u}}{{{\text{dx}}}} \cdot \int v {\text{dx}}} \right)} {\text{dx}}$

To put it another way, the integral of the product of two functions = first function $ \times $ integral of the second - integral of (differential of first $ \times $ integral of the second function).

Working Hints

1. Choose the first and second functions in such a way that the derivative and integral of the first function may be determined quickly.

2. In case of integrals of the form $\int f ({\text{x}}) \cdot {{\text{x}}^{\text{n}}}{\text{dx}}$, take ${{\text{x}}^{\text{n}}}$ as the first function and $f({\text{x}})$ as the second function.

3. In case of integrals of the form $\int {{{(\log x)}^{\text{n}}}}  \cdot 1{\text{dx}}$, take 1 as the second function and ${(\log x)^n}$ as the first function.

4. The rule of parts integration can be applied several times if necessary.

5. If the two functions are of different types, the first function can be chosen as the one with the first initial in the word "ILATE," where

I - Inverse Trigonometric function

L - Logarithmic function

A - Algebraic function ${\text{T}} - $ Trigonometric function

${\text{E}} - $ Exponential function.

6. If both functions are trigonometric, use the second function as the second function with a simple integral. If both functions are algebraic, choose the one with the simpler derivative as the initial function.

7. If the integral is an inverse trigonometric function of an algebraic expression in x, simplify the integrand first using an appropriate trigonometric substitution before integrating the new integrand.

4.1 Integrals of the Form $\int {{{\text{e}}^x}} \left[ {f({\text{x}}) + {f^\prime }({\text{x}})} \right]{\text{dx}}$

Working Rule

(i) Divide the integral into two equal halves.

(ii) Only use parts to integrate the first integral, i.e.

$ = \left[ {f({\text{x}}) \cdot {{\text{e}}^{\text{x}}} - \int {{f^\prime }} ({\text{x}}) \cdot {{\text{e}}^{\text{x}}}{\text{x}}} \right] + \int {{{\text{e}}^{\text{x}}}} {f^\prime }({\text{x}}){\text{dx}}$

$ = {{\text{e}}^{\text{x}}}f({\text{x}}) + {\text{C}}$

4.2 Integrals of the Form:

After integrating by parts, the initial integrand reappears.

Working Rule

(i) Use the part-by-part integration technique twice.

(ii) If we integrate by parts a second time, we'll get the same integrand as before, therefore we'll set it equal to $I$.

(iii) On one side, transpose and gather words involving $I$, and assess $I$.

$\lambda \iint {{\text{ld}}}{\text{x}} + \mu \int {\dfrac{{ - {\text{csinx}} + {\text{d}}\cos {\text{x}}}}{{{\text{a}}\cos {\text{x}} + {\text{b}}\sin {\text{x}}}}} {\text{dx}} = \lambda {\text{x}} + \mu \log |{\text{a}}\cos {\text{x}} + {\text{b}}\sin {\text{x}}|$

(iv) Substitute the values of $\lambda $ and $\mu $ found in step 2 . 

5.4 Integrals of the Form $\int {\dfrac{{a + b\cos x + \operatorname{csin} x}}{{e + f\cos x + g\sin x}}} dx$

Working Rule

(i) Put Numerator $ = I$ (denominator) $ + {\text{m}}$ (derivative of denominator) $ + {\text{n}}$

$a + b\cos x + c\sin x = l(e + f\cos x + g\sin x) + m$

$( - f\sin x + g\cos x) + n$

(ii) Equate coefficients of $\sin x,\cos x$ and constant term n on both sides and find the values of $l,\;{\text{m}},{\text{n}}$.

(iii) The next step is to divide the provided integral into$3$ distinct integrals and evaluate each one separately, i.e.

$\int {\dfrac{{a + b\cos x + \operatorname{csin} x}}{{e + f\cos x + g\sin x}}} dx$

$l\int 1 {\text{dx}} + {\text{m}}\int {\dfrac{{ - {\text{f}}\sin {\text{x}} + {\text{g}}\cos {\text{x}}}}{{{\text{e}} + {\text{f}}\cos x + {\text{g}}\sin x}}} {\text{dx}} + $

${\text{n}}\int {\dfrac{{{\text{dx}}}}{{{\text{e}} + {\text{f}}\cos x + {\text{g}}\sin x}}} $

$ = {\text{Lx}} + {\text{m}}\log |{\text{e}} + {\text{f}}\cos {\text{x}} + {\text{g}}\sin {\text{x}}| + {\text{n}}\int {\dfrac{{d{\text{x}}}}{{{\text{e}} + {\text{f}}\cos {\text{x}} + {\text{g}}\sin x}}} {\text{dx}}$

(iv) Substitute the values of $l,\;{\text{m}},{\text{n}}$ found in Step (ii).

5.5 Integrals of the Form $\int {{{\sin }^{\text{m}}}} x{\cos ^{\text{n}}}{\text{xdx}}$

Working Rule

(i) If the power of $\sin x$ is an odd positive integer, put $\cos x = t$.

(ii) If the power of $\cos {\text{x}}$ is an odd positive integer, put $\sin {\text{x}} = {\text{t}}$.

(iii) If the power of $\sin {\text{x}}$ and $\cos {\text{x}}$ are both odd positive integers, put $\sin x = t$ or $\cos x = t$

(iv) If the power of $\sin x$ and $\cos x$ are both even positive integers, use De' Moivre's theorem as follows:

Let, $\quad \cos x + i\sin x = z$. Then $\cos x - i\sin x = {z^{ - 1}}$

Adding these, we get $z + \dfrac{1}{z} = 2\cos x$ and $z - \dfrac{1}{z} = 2i\sin x$

By De Moivre's theorem, we have

${z^n} + \dfrac{1}{{{z^n}}} = 2\cos nx$ and ${z^n} - \dfrac{1}{{{z^n}}} = 2i{\sin ^n}x$

$\therefore $

${\sin ^m}x{\cos ^n}x = \dfrac{1}{{{{(2i)}^m}}} \cdot \dfrac{1}{{{2^n}}}{\left( {z + \dfrac{1}{z}} \right)^n}{\left( {z - \dfrac{1}{z}} \right)^m}$

$ = \dfrac{1}{{{2^{m + n}}}} \cdot \dfrac{1}{{{i^m}}}{\left( {z + \dfrac{1}{z}} \right)^n}{\left( {z - \dfrac{1}{z}} \right)^m}$

Using the Binomial theorem, extend each of the components on the R.H.S. Then, equidistant from the start and end, group the words. As a result, all such pairings may be expressed as the sines or cosines of various angles. Term by term, continue to integrate.

(v) If the sum of powers of $\sin x$ and $\cos x$ is an even negative integer, put $\tan x = z$.

Indefinite and Definite Integrals:

Indefinite integrals are those integrals that do not have any limit of integration. It has an arbitrary constant. Definite integrals are those integrals that have an upper and lower limit. Definite integral has two different values for the upper limit and lowers limit when they are evaluated. The final value of a definite integral is the value of integral to the upper limit minus the value of the definite integral for the lower limit. 

\[\int_a^b {f\left( x \right).dx}  = F\left( b \right) - F\left( a \right)\]

In the above equation, 

F (b) and F (a) are the integral functions for the upper and lower limit respectively. 

f (x) is the integrand 

dx is the integrating agent

‘b’ is the upper limit of the definite integral

‘a’ is the lower limit of the definite integral

Properties of Definite Integrals:

Property 1: Definite integrals between the same limits of the same function with different variables are equal.

\[\int_a^b {f\left( p \right),dp}  = \int_b^a {f\left( q \right)dp} \]

Property 2: The value of a definite integral is equal to its negative when the upper and lower limits of the integral function are interchanged. 

\[\int_a^b {f\left( p \right),dp}  =  - \int_b^a {f\left( p \right)dp} \]

Property 3: The definite integral of a function is zero when the upper and lower limits are the same. 

\[\int_a^a {f\left( p \right).dp = 0} \]

Property 4: A definite integral can be written as the sum of two definite integrals. However, the following conditions must be considered.

• The lower limit of the first addend should be equal to the lower limit of the original definite integral.

• The upper limit of the second addend should be equal to the upper limit of the original definite integral.

• The upper limit of the first addend should be equal to the lower limit of the second addend integral.

\[\int_a^b {f\left( b \right).dp = \int_a^c {f\left( p \right).dp + \int_c^b {f\left( p \right).dp} } } \]

Other Properties of Definite Integrals:

Property 5: 

\[\int_a^b {f\left( p \right).dp = \int_a^b {f\left( {a + b - p} \right).dp} } \]

Property 6: 

\[\int_0^a {f\left( p \right).dp = \int_a^b {f\left( {a - p} \right).dp} } \]

Property 7: 

\[\int_0^{2a} {f\left( p \right).dp}  = \int_0^a {f\left( p \right).dp + \int_0^a {f\left( {2a - p} \right).dp{\text{ }}if{\text{ }}f\left( {2a - p} \right) = f\left( p \right)} } \]

Fundamental Theorem of Calculus: Integrals & Anti Derivatives

The Fundamental Theorem of Calculus theorem that shows the relationship between the concept of derivation and integration, also between the definite integral and the indefinite integral— consists of 2 parts, the first of which, the Fundamental Theorem of Calculus, Part 1, and second is the Fundamental Theorem of Calculus, Part 2.

A. Fundamental Theorem of Calculus Part 1

Part 1 of Fundamental theorem creates a link between differentiation and integration.

By that, the first fundamental theorem of calculus depicts that, if f is continuous on the closed interval [a,b] and F is the unknown integral of f on [a,b], then

\[\int_{a}^{b} f(x) dx = F(x)|_{a}^{b} = F(b) - F(a)\].

This typically states the definite integral over an interval [a,b] is equivalent to the antiderivative calculated at ‘b’ minus the antiderivative assessed at ‘a’. This provides the link between the definite integral and the indefinite integral (antiderivative).

This outcome, while taught initially in primary calculus courses, is literally an intense outcome linking the purely algebraic indefinite integral and the purely evaluative geometric definite integral.

Given f is

• continuous on interval [a, b]

• F is any function that satisfies F’(x) = f(x)

Then

\[\int_{a}^{b} f(X)dx = F(b) - F(a)\]

B. Fundamental Theorem of Calculus Part 2

Within the theorem the second fundamental theorem of calculus, depicts the connection between the derivative and the integral— the two main concepts in calculus. The part 2 theorem is quite helpful in identifying the derivative of a curve and even assesses it at definite values of the variable when developing an anti-derivative explicitly which might not be easy otherwise.

The theorem bears ‘f’ as a continuous function on an open interval I and ‘a’ any point in I, and states that if F is demonstrated by

F(x) = \[\int_a^{x} f(t)dt\],

then

F'(x)=f(x) at each point in I.

The above expression represents that The fundamental theorem of calculus by the sides of curves shows that if f(z) has a continuous indefinite integral F(z) in an area R comprising of parameterized curve $\gamma:z=z(t) for \alpha < = t < = \beta$, then

\[\int_\gamma f(z)dz = F(z(\beta))-F(z(\alpha))\].

\[\frac{d}{dx} \int_{a}^{x} f(t)dt = f(x)\]

• Derivative of an integral.

• Derivative matches the upper limit of integration.

• Lower limit of integration is a constant.
