Explanation Given: • Algebraic manipulation • Substitution (Specify u a n d d u ) • Integration by parts (Specify u a n d d v ) • Integral: ∫ x 2 − x 2 x ⋅ d x Key Concepts Used: We know very well that integration is more challenging than differentiation . In differentiation, we know to find the derivative of a function by using the correct differentiation formula. But in integration, we should not confirm which technique we should use to integrate a given function. We can use substitution, integration by parts, and partial fractions. Definite Integral: The definite integral of f ( x ) over [ a , b ] is denoted by the integral sign ∫ f ( x ) ⋅ d x a b . It is often called the integral of f ( x ) over [ a , b ] . The process of computing integrals is called Integration. The function f ( x ) is called the integrand. The endpoints a a n d b of [ a , b ] are called the Limits of Integration. If f ( x ) is continuous on [ a , b ] , or if f ( x ) is continuous with at most finitely many jump discontinuous, then it is possible to integrate f ( x ) over [ a , b ] . First we should thorough with the basic integration formulas. Then we might try the four-step strategy. 1. Simplify the integrand if possible: Sometimes the use of algebraic manipulation or trigonometric identities will simplify the integrand and make the method of integration obvious. 2. Look for an obvious substitution: Try to find some function u = g ( x ) in the integrand whose differential d u = g ' ( x ) ⋅ d x also occurs, apart from a constant factor. We can use substitution instead of method of partial fractions. 3. Classify the Integrand according to its form: If steps 1 a n d 2 have not led to the solution, then we have to see the form of the integrand. (a) Trigonometric functions: If f ( x ) is a product or powers of sin x , cos x , tan x , csc x , sec x o r cot x , then we find the integral by using substitution process. (b) Rational functions: If f ( x ) is a rational function, we use procedure involving partial fractions (algebraic manipulation) (c) Integration by parts: If f ( x ) is a product of power of x (or) a polynomial, and a transcendental function ( such as a trigonometric, exponential, inverse trigonometric, or logarithmic function) then we try integration by parts, choosing u a n d d u and in final replace the dummy variable u by original variable...
