A. INTRODUCTION
Both parts of the Fundamental Theorem establish connections between antiderivatives and definite
x
integrals. Part 1 says that if f is continuous, then a f (t ) dt is an antiderivative of f. Part 2 says that

b
a f ( x) dx can be found by evaluating F(b) – F(a), where F is an antiderivative of f. We need a

convenient notation for antiderivatives that makes them easy to work with. Because of the relation

given by the Fundamental Theorem between antiderivatives and integrals, the notation  f ( x) dx is
traditionally used for antiderivative of f and is called and indefinite integral. Thus

 f ( x) dx = F(x) + C means F '(x) = f(x)

For example, we can write
M
x3  x3
O
d 
 x 2dx  C because   C  = x2
3 dx  3 

.C
 
So we can regard an indefinite integral as representing an entire family of function (one antiderivative
for each value of the constant C).
A
You should distinguish carefully between definite and indefinite integrals. A definite integral  f ( x ) dx

M
is a number, whereas an indefinite integral  f ( x ) dx is family of functions. The connection between

them is given by part 2 of the Fundamental Theorem.

We can use these addition formulae to change products to sums or differences, and the later can be
integrated easily.

We next consider integrals of the type  cos x sinn x dx , in which at least one of the exponents m and

n is an odd positive integer (the other exponent need only be a real number). Suppose that m = 2k + 1,
where k is a non-negative integer. Then cosmx sinnx = cos2k + 1 x sinn x = (cos2x)k sinn x cos x.

Using the identity cos2 x = 1 – sin2x, we obtain

The factor (1 – sin2x)k can be expanded by the Binomial Theorem, and the result is that  cos x sinn x dx

C. INTEGRATION BY SUBSTITUTION

Let g be a function whose range is an interval l, and let f be a function that is continuous on l. If g is

differentiable on its domain and F is an antiderivative of f on l, then  f (g( x))g' ( x) dx = F(g(x)) + C.

If u = g(x), then du = g'(x) and  f (u) du  F(u)  C .

GUIDELINES FOR MAKING A CHANGE OF VARIABLE
1. Choose a substitution u = g(x). Usually, it is best to choose the inner part of a composite function,
such as a quantity raised to a power.
2. Compute du = g'(x) dx.
3. Rewrite the integral in terms of the variable u.
4. Evaluate the resulting integral in terms of u.
5. Replace u by g(x) to obtain an antiderivative in terms of x.

RATIONALIZATION BY TRIGONOMETRIC SUBSTITUTION

Consider the integral S  a 2  x 2 dx

If we change the variable from x to  by the substitution x = a sin, then the identity 1 – sin2 = cos2
allows us to get rid of the roots sign because

 a2  x 2 = a2  a2 sin2  = a 2 (1  sin 2 ) = a2 cos2  = a|cos|

Notice the difference between the substitution u = a2 – x2 (in which the new variable is a function of
the old one) are the substitution x = a sin  (the old variable is a function of the new one).
In general we can make a substitution of the form x = g(t) by using the Substitution Rule in reverse. To
make our calculations simpler, we assume that g has an inverse function; that is, g is one-to-one.

 f ( x)dx   f (g(t ))g(t)dt

This kind of substitution is called inverse substitution.
We can make the inverse substitution x = a sin  provided that it defines a one-to-one function. This
can be accomplished by restricting  to lie in the interval [–/2, /2].

G. INTEGRATION OF RATIONAL FUNCTIONS USING PARTIAL FRACTIONS

In this section we show how to integer any rational function (a ratio of polynomials) by expressing it as
a sum of simpler fractions, called partial fractions, that we already know how to integrate. To illustrate
the method, observe that by taking the fractions 2/(x – 1) and 1/(x + 2) to a common denominator we

2 1 2(x  2)  (x  1) x5
obtain – = = 2
x 1 x2 (x  1)(x  2) x  x 2

If we now reverse the procedure, we see how to integrate the function on the right side of this

equation  x2  x  2 dx =   x  1  x  2  dx = – 2n |x –1| – ln |x + 2| + C

To see how the method of partial fractions works in general, let's consider a rational function f(x) =

Cis called proper. Recall that if

Where P and Q are polynomials. It's possible to express f as sum of simpler fractions provided that the

.
degree of P is less than the degree of Q. Such a rational function

where a  0, then the degree of P is n and we write degA

n n–1
P(x) = a x + a
n
x + ... + a x + a
n–1 1 0

n
(P) = n.

M
If f is improper, that is, deg(P)  deg (Q), then we must take the preliminary step of dividing Q into P
(by division) until a remainder R(x) is obtained such that deg (R) < deg(Q). The division statement is

P(x) R(x) A

The next step is to factor the denominator Q(x) as far as possible . It can be shown that any
polynomial Q can be factored as a product of linear factors (of the form ax + b) and irreducible
quadratic factors (of the form ax2 + bx + c, where b2 – 4ac < 0). For instance, if Q(x) = x4 – 16, we
could factor it as Q(x) = (x2 – 4) (x2 + 4) = (x – 2) (x + 2) (x2 + 4)
The third step is to express the proper rational function R(x)/Q(x) (from equation 1) as a sum of partial

A Ax  B
fractions of the form i or
(ax  b) (ax  bx  c) j
2

A theorem in algebra guarantees that it is always possible to do this. We explain the details for the four
cases that occur.
 INDEFINITE INTEGRATION Page # 25

Case I : The Denominator Q(x) is a product of distinct linear factors.

This means that we can write Q(x) = (a1x + b1) (a2x + b2) ... (akx + bk)
where no factor is repeated (and no factor is a constant multiple of another). In this case the partial
fraction theorem states that there exist constants A1,A2,...,Ak such that.

R(x) A1 A2 Ak
(2) = a x  b + a x  b + .... + a x  b
Q(x) 1 1 2 2 k k

These constants can be determined as in the following example.

x2  2x  1
Ex.56 Evaluate  2x3  3x2  2x dx.

Sol. Since the degree of the numerator is less than the degree of the denominator, we don't need to divide.
We factor the denominator as 2x3 + 3x2 – 2x = x(2x2 + 3x – 2) = x(2x – 1) (x + 2)

M
Since the denominator has three distinct linear factors, the partial fraction decomposition of the
integrand (2) has the form.

x2  2x  1 O
C
A B C
(3) = + +
.
x(2x  1)(x  2) x 2x  1 x  2

A
To denominator the values of A, B and C, we multiply both sides of this equation by the product of
the denominators, x(2x – 1) (x + 2), obtaining.
2

M
(4) x + 2x – 1 = A(2x – 1) (x + 2) + Bx(x + 2) + Cx(2x – 1)
Expanding the right side of equation 4 and writing it in the standard form for polynomials, we get

A
2 2
(5) x + 2x – 1 = (2A + B + 2C) x + (3A + 2B – C) x – 2A
The polynomials in Equation 5 are identical, so their coefficients must be equal. The coefficient of

N
2 2
x on the right side, 2A + B + 2C, must equal the coefficient of x on the left side-namely, 1.

system of equation for A, B andY

Likewise. The coefficients of x are equal and the constant terms are equal. This gives the following
C.

D
2A + B + 2C = 1 3A + 2B – C = 2 – 2A = –1

2 U

Solving, we get A = , B = , and C = – , and so

In integrating the middle term we have made the mental substitution u = 2x – 1, which gives du = 2dx
and dx = du/2.

Case II : Q(x) is a product of linear factors, some of which are repeated.

Suppose the first linear factor (a1x + b1) is repeated r times, that is, (a1x + b1)r occurs in the
factorization of Q(x). Then instead of the single term A1/(a1x + b1) in equation 2, we would use

x  x  x 1 x  x2  x  1

The second step is to factor the denominator Q(x) = x3 – x2 – x + 1. Since Q(1) = 0, we know that
x – 1 is a factor and we obtain x3 – x2 – x + 1 = (x – 1) (x2 – 1) = (x – 1) (x – 1)(x + 1) = (x – 1)2 (x + 1)
Since the linear factor x – 1 occurs twice, the partial fraction decompositoin is

4x A B C
2 = + +

Now we equate coefficients : A + C = 0

.C
B – 2C = 4
–A + B + C = 0

Multiplying by x(x2 + 4), we have 2x2 – x + 4 = A (x2 + 4) + (Bx + C) x = (A + B) x2 + Cx + 4A

H. INTEGRATION OF IRRATIONAL FUNCTIONS

Certain types of integrals of algebraic irrational expressions can be reduced to integrals of rational
functions by a appropriate change of the variable. Such transformation of an integral is called its

INTEGRATION OF A BINOMIAL DIFFERENTIAL

The integral dx, where m, n, p are rational numbers, is expressed through elementary
functions only in the following three cases :
Case I : p is an integer. Then, if p > 0, the integrand is expanded by the formula of the binomial; but if
p < 0, then we put x = tk, where k is the common denominator of the fractions and n.

Case II :
M
is an integer. We put a + bxn = t, where  is the denominator of the fraction p..

Case III : n  n
O
+ p is an integer we put a + bx = t x , where a is the denominator of the fraction p.

EULER'S SUBSTITUTIONS

Integrals of the form dx are calculated with the aid of the three Euler substitutions.

1. =t± is a > 0;

2. =t± if a > 0;

3. = (x – ) t if ax2 + bx + c = a (x – ) (x – )
i.e. if  is real, I root of the trinomial ax2 + bx + c.

Ex.86 Evaluate I = .

Sol. Here a = 1 > 0, therefore we make the substitution = t – x.

M
Squaring both sides of this equality and reducing the similar terms, we get 2x + 2tx = t2 –2

whence x = ; dx = dt  1 + =1+t–

By the method of undetermined coefficient we find A = 2; B = – ; D = – 3; E = –

Hence I = 2 – –3 – =

Sol. In this case a < 0 and c < 0 therefore neither the first, nor the second, Euler substitution is applicable.
But the quadratic trinomial 7x – 10 – x2 has real roots  = 2,  = 5, therefore we use the third Euler

I. CAN WE INTEGRATE ALL CONTINUOUS FUNCTION ?

. C
A
The questions arises : Will our strategy for integration enable us to find the integral of every continuous

function ? For example, can we use it to evaluate dx ? The answer is no, at least not in terms of

the functions that we are familiar with. M

A(x ), exponential function (a ), logarithmic functions
The functions that we have been dealing with in this books are called elementary functions. These are
3 x
the polynomials, rational functions, power functions

functions that can be obtained from theseN

trigonometric and inverse trigonometric functions, hyperbolic and inverse hyperbolic functions, and all
by the five operations of addition, substraction multiplication,

Y
D
sin 2x
division, and composition for instance, the function f(x) = + n (cosh x) – xe

U
is an elementary function

T
If f is an elementary function, then f is an elementary function but dx need not be an elementary

Sf(x) = . Since f is continuous, its integral exists, and if we define the function F
function. Consider

by F(x) = then we know from part 1 of the fundamental theorem of calculus that F(x) =

Thus, f(x) = has an antiderivative F, but it has been proved that F is not an elementary function.

?This means that no matter how hard we try, we will never succeed in evaluating dx in term of

the function we know. The same can be said of the following integrals.
