10.1 Evaluating Basic Integrals

Main Concepts: Antiderivatives and Integration Formulas, Evaluating Integrals

• Answer all parts of a question from Section II even if you think your answer to an earlier part of the question might not be correct. Also, if you do not know the answer to part one of a question, and you need it to answer part two, just make it up and continue.

Antiderivatives and Integration Formulas

Definition: A function F is an antiderivative of another function f if F′(x) = f(x) for all x in some open interval. Any two antiderivatives of f differ by an additive constant C. We denote the set of antiderivatives of f by ∫ f(x)dx, called the indefinite integral of f.

Integration Rules:

More Integration Formulas:

16. ∫ tan x dx = ln |sec x| + C or − ln |cos x | + C

17. ∫ cot x dx = ln |sin x| + C or − ln |csc x | + C

18. ∫ sec x dx = ln |sec x + tan x| + C

19. ∫ csc x dx = ln |csc x − cot x| + C

20. ∫ ln x dx = x ln |x| − x + C

Note: After evaluating an integral, always check the result by taking the derivative of the answer (i.e., taking the derivative of the antiderivative).

• Remember that the volume of a right-circular cone is where r is the radius of the base and h is the height of the cone.

Example 3

If , and the point (0, −1) lies on the graph of y, find y.

Since , then y is an antiderivative of . Thus, y = ∫ (3x2 + 2) dx = x3 + 2x + C. The point (0, −1) is on the graph of y. Thus, y = x3 + 2x + C becomes −1 = 03 + 2(0) + C or C = −1. Therefore, y = x3 + 2x − 1.

10.3 Techniques of Integration

Main Concepts: Integration by Parts, Integration by Partial Fractions

Integration by Parts

According to the product rule for differentiation . Integrating tells us that , and therefore . To integrate a product, careful identification of one factor as u and the other as allows the application of this rule for integration by parts. Choice of one factor to be u (and therefore the other to be dv) is simpler if you remember the mnemonic LIPET. Each letter in the acronym represents a type of function: Logarithmic, Inverse trigonometric, Polynomial, Exponential, and Trigonometric. As you consider integrating by parts, assign the factor that falls earlier in the LIPET list as u, and the other as dv.

Example 1

Step 1: Identify u = x and dv = exdx since x is a Polynomial, which comes before Exponential in LIPET.

Step 2: Differentiate du = dx and integrate v = −ex.

Step 3:

Example 2

Step 1: Identify u = x and dv = sin 4x dx since x is a Polynomial, which comes before Trigonometric in LIPET.

Step 2: Differentiate du = dx and integrate .

Step 3:

Integration by Partial Fractions

A rational function with a factorable denominator can be integrated by decomposing the integrand into a sum of simpler fractions. Each linear factor of the denominator becomes the denominator of one of the partial fractions.

Example 1

Step 1: Factor the denominator:

Step 2: Let A and B represent the numerators of the partial fractions .

Step 3: The algorithm for adding fractions tells us that A(x − 1) + B(x + 4) = 1, so Ax + Bx = 0 and − A + 4B = 1. Solving gives us A = −0.2 and B = 0.2.

Step 4: ln

Example 2

Step 1: Use long division to rewrite .

Step 2: Factor the denominator:

Step 3: Let A, B, and C represent the numerators of the partial fractions.

Step 4: 2x2 + x + 1 = A(x + 1)(x − 1) + Bx(x − 1) + Cx(x + 1), therefore, Ax2 + Bx2 + Cx2 = 2x2, CxBx = x, and −A = 1. Solving gives A = −1, B = 1, and C = 2.
