Integration
The process of integration is an opposite process to
that of differentiation.
∫ f (x) dx = F(x) + C
Where ∫ —› symbol of integration
f(x) —› integrand
dx —› element of integration
F —› primitive
C —› constant of integration In differential calculus, we are given a function and we are required to differentiate it, but in integral calculus we required to find a function whose differential coefficient (or derivative) is given.
Hence if,
d(F(x) + c) = f(x)/dx
We write that, ∫ f(x)dx = F(x) + c

Methods Of Integration
We need to develop additional techniques or methods for finding the integrals by reducing them into standard forms. Here are some important methods:
A. Integration by Substitution
B. Integration by Partial Fraction
C. Integration by Parts
A. Integration by Substitution
$$\text{(d)}\space \text{(i)}\space\text{If}\space \sqrt{a^2-x^2}\space\text{occurs in the integrand, put x = a sin}\space \alpha.\\ \qquad \text{(ii)}\space\text{If}\sqrt{a^2+x^2}\space\text{occurs in the integrand, put x = a tan} \space \alpha.\\ \qquad\text{(iii) If}\sqrt{x^2-a^2}\space\text{occurs in the integrand, put x = a sec}\space \alpha.$$
B. Partial fractions
Let f(x) =g(x)/h(x) be a proper rational function. First of all, we split up the denominator h(x) as the product of non-repeated linear or repeated linear factors or non-repeated or repeated quadratics (which cannot be split into real linear factors). Then f(x) can be written as the sum of the fractions in which the numerator is either a constant or real linear polynomials. For this the following points should be kept in mind.
(a) Corresponding to each non-repeated linear factor a x+ b, there is a partial fraction of the form A/(ax+b)
C. Integration By Parts
Consider u and v as two functions of x, then integration
by parts says that; ∫ u.v dx = u { ∫ v dx} - ∫{du/dx. ∫ v dx } dx Where, u is known as first function and
v is known as second function.
v is known as second function.
i.e., Integral of product of two = (first function *
(integral of second function) - integral of
{(differentiation of first function) * (integral of
second function)}
We decide the function as first which comes first in
order from top to bottom.
INVERSE —› I
LOGARITHMIC —› L
ALGEBRIC —› A
TRIGONOMETRIC —› T
EXPONENTIAL —› E
Or which comes first in word 'ILATE'.
Fundamental Theorem Of Calculus
The fundamental theorem of calculus is a theorem that links the concept of differentiating a function with the concept of integrating a function. The two operations are inverses of each. other apart from a constant value which depends where one starts to compute area. The first part of the theorem, called first fundamental
theorem of calculus. Let f be a continuous real-valued function defined on a closed interval [a,b] and the function F(x) is defined by
$$\text{F(x)} = \int^x_a \text{f(t)}\space \text{dt}$$
then F’(x) = f(x)
The second part of the theorem called second fundamental theorem of calculus. Let f be a continuous real-valued function on a closed interval [a,b], then
$$ \int^b_a \text{f(x)}\text{dx}= \text{F(b)}-\text{F(a)}$$
Definite Integral
The definite integral has a unique value. A definite integral is denoted by
$$ \int^b_a \text{f(x)}\text{dx},$$
where a is called the lower limit of the integral and b is called the upper limit of the integral.
Standard Integrals
$$\text{(i)} \int^b_a \text{f(x)}\text{dx}=\text{F(b)\space-\space F(a)}\space \text{where}\int \text{f(x)dx=\space \text{F(x)\space +\space\text{C}}}\\\text{(ii)} \int^b_a\text{f(x)dx}=\int^b_a\text{f(t)}\text{dt}\\\text{(iii)}\int^b_a \text{f(x)}\text{dx}=-\int^a_b \text{f(x)dx}\\\text{(iv)}\int^b_a\text{f(x)dx} = \int^c_a\text{f(x)dx}\space+\space \int^b_c\text{f(x)dx},\\ \text{where the point c lies between a and b}\\\text{(v)}\int^b_a\text{f(x)dx}=\int^b_a\text{f(a\space+\space b-x)dx}\\\text{(vi)}\int^a_0 \text{f(x)dx}=\int^a_0 \text{f(a-x)dx}\\\text{(vii)}\int^\text{2a}_0\text{f(x)dx}=\int^a_0\text{{f(x)dx + f(2a-x)}}\text{dx}\\\text{(viii)} \int^{2a}_0\text{f(x)dx}= 2\int^a_0\text{f(x)dx,}\space \text{if}\space \text{f(2a-x)}= \text{f(x)}\space \text{and} \space 0, \text{if} \space \text{f(2a-x)}=-\text{f(x)}\\ \text{(ix)}\int^a_{-a} \text{f(x)dx}=2\int^a_0 \text{f(x)dx,}\space \text{if} \space \text{f(-x)}=\text{f(x)} \space \text{and} \space 0, \text{if f(-x) = -f(x)}$$
Evaluation Of Definite Integrals By Substitution
$$\text{To evaluate}\int^b_a \text{f(x)dx,} \space \text{by substitution, the following steps are useful}$$
- Consider the integral without limits and substitute, y=f(x) or x=g(y) to reduce the given integral to a known form.
- lntegrate the new integrand with respect to the new variable without mentioning the constant of integration.
- Resubstitute for the new variables and write the answer in terms of the original variable.
- Find the values of answer obtained in III step at he given limits of integral and find the difference of the values at the upper and lower limits.
