Integrals Notes:

Adding or summing up the small parts to find the whole sum of the function is the basic meaning of integral calculus.

Indefinite integrals and definite integrals are the two types of integrals that are found in integral calculus.

Indefinite Integral

Thus, the formula that gives this anti-derivative is called the indefinite integral.

Integration as an Inverse Process of Differentiation

Integration is defined as the inverse of differentiation. Here we are given a function and asked to find its primitive (the original function). Such a process is called an anti-derivative or indefinite integral.

Let us see an example:-

We know that

ddx(sinx+c)=cosx or, cosxdx=sinx+c

Here, the actual function is “sinx + c”. Using the indefinite integral, we found the actual equation from the derived one.

Thus, we came to know that the integration of some functions is written as

f(x)dx=F(x)+c

Here, f(x) is “integrand”, f(x)dx is “element of integration”, x is “variable of integration” and “c” is the integration constant.

Some of the formulas are listed below, which will help us to solve the problems.

xndx=xn+1n+1+c,(n1)dx=x+ccosxdx=sinx+csinxdx=cosx+csec2xdx=tanx+ccosec2xdx=cotx+csecxtanx=secx+ccosecxcotx=cosecx+cdx1x2=sin1x+cdx1x2=cos1x+cdx1+x2=tan1x+cdx1+x2=cot1x+cdxxx21=sec1x+cdxxx21=cosec1+cexdx=ex+c1xdx=log|x|+caxdx=axloga+c

Geometrical Interpretation of Indefinite Integral

Let us assume that y=f(x) be a curve such that f(x)=2xf(x)=x2+c

1645082112385

Now, if we give values like 4, 3, 2, 1, 0, -1, -2, -3 to the arbitrary constant c, then the equation will give

y=x2+4,x2+3,x2+2,x2+1,x2,x21,x22,x23

having loci as a parabola.

Thus, the equation f(x)dx=F(x)+c=y represents a family of curves.

Some properties of the indefinite integral

Here we shall derive some properties of indefinite integrals.

(I) The process of integration and differentiation is the inverse of each other in the sense of the following results:

ddxf(x)dx=f(x) and f(x)dx=f(x)+c

where c is the arbitrary constant.

(II) Two indefinite integrals with the same derivative lead to the same family of curves; thus, they are equivalent.

ddxf(x)dx=ddxg(x)dx

(III) [f(x)+g(x)]dx=f(x)dx+g(x)dx
(IV) For any real number k,kf(x)dx=kf(x)dx

(V) Using properties (III) and (IV) can be generalised to a finite number of functions f1, f2, f3, …, fn and the real numbers k1, k2, k3, …, kn give

[k1f1(x)+k2f2(x)+knfn(x)]dx=k1f1(x)dx+k2f2(x)dx+knfn(x)dx

Example

Find the anti-derivative (integral) of 1x,x0
Solution:
We know that ddx(logx)=1x,x>0 and ddx(log(x))=1x(1)=1x,x<0 Thus combining the above ddxlogx=1x,x0 Therefore 1xdx=log|x|+c

Methods of Integration

We have many ways of solving integration. Mostly, we solve by using

  1. Integration by substitution

  2. Integration by Partial Fraction

  3. Integration by Parts

Integration by Substitution

The given integral f(x)dx can be transferred into another form by changing the independent variable x to t by substituting x=g(t).

Let us assume that

I=f(x)dx

Substitute

x=g(t), so that dx/dt=g'(t)

Then we write dx=g’(t) dt

Thus I=f(x)dx=f(g(t))g(t)dt

Example: Integrate w.r.t x, sin mx

Solution:

We know that by differentiating mx, we get m. Thus, we can substitute mx = t so that mdx =dt

Thus sin(mx)dx=1msin(t)dt=1mcost+c=1mcosmx+c

Integration by Trigonometric Identities

The identities are used to find the integral when integration involves some trigonometric functions.

Example: Find cos2xdx
Solution: We know that

cos2x=1+cos2x2

Using this, we get that

cos2xdx=12(1+cos2x)dx=12[dx+cos2xdx]=x2+14sin2x+c

Integrals of Some Particular Function

Some of the formulas are listed below

dxx2a2dx=12alog|xa||x+a|+cdxa2x2=12alog|a+x||ax|+cdxx2+a2=1atan1xa+cdxx2a2=log|x+x2a2|+cdxx2+a2=log|x+x2+a2|+cdxa2x2=sin1xa+c

Let us see an example

dx(4+9x2)dx=dx9(49+x2)

Now using a special formula

dxx2+a2=1atan1xa+c=19dxx2+(23)2=1912/3tan13x2+c=16tan13x2+c

Integration by Partial Fraction

The integration of a rational function can be solved by using partial fractions.

Let us see the following example
x2x2+x+6dx=(1x6x2+x+6dx=dxx6x2+x+6dx=x95dxx+3+45dxx2=x95ln|x+3|+45ln|x2|+c

Integration by Parts

ILATE rule needs to be followed while doing integration by parts. According to the ILATE rule, we can determine which function will be the 1st function and which will be the 2nd function.

ILATE

I → Inverse function

L → Logarithmic function

A → Algebraic function

T → Trigonometric function

E → Exponential function

From the above rule, as an example, we can say that there are two functions, like trigonometric functions and logarithmic functions. The logarithmic function will be treated as the first function, and the trigonometric function will be treated as the second function.

The general expression follows as

f(x)g(x)dx=f(x)g(x)dx[{g(x)dx}ddxf(x)]dx

“The integral of the product of two functions = (1st function) × (integral of the 2nd function) – Integral of [(differential coefficient of the 1st function) × (integral of the 2nd function)]”

Example: Solve lnxdx
Solution:
lnx1dxlnx1dx[(1dx)ddx(lnx)]dxxlnxx1xdxxlnxx+c

Integration of special types of functions
The formulas are listed below

x2+a2dx=12xx2+a2+a22log|x+x2+a2|+cx2a2dx=12xx2a2+a22sin1xa+c

Definite Integral

In the indefinite, we saw that the result of the integration was not a unique value. But here indefinite integral we will find a unique value and it is well defined within a limited boundary. Generally, the definite integral is denoted by

abf(x)dx

Her “a” is the lower limit, and “b” is the upper limit of the integral. The value of the definite integral is computed by F(b) - F(a).

Basically, in Definite integral consists of two cases as discussed below:

Definite Integral as a Limit of the Sum

If the definite integral abf(x)dx

is the area bounded by the curve y = f(x), the ordinates x = a, x = b and the x-axis. To evaluate this area, consider the region PRSQP between this curve, the x-axis, and the ordinates x = a and x =b

1645082112127

From the figure, we find the general equation of the definite integral as a limit of a sum

abf(x)dx=h[f(a)+f(a+h)++f(a+(n1)h]abf(x)dx=(ba)n[f(a)+f(a+h)++f(a+(n1)h] Where h=ban0 as n

Some Properties of the Definite Integral

P0:abf(x)dx=abf(t)dt
P1:abf(x)dx=baf(x)dx; in particular, aaf(x)dx=0
P2:abf(x)dx=acf(x)dx+cbf(x)dx
P3:acf(x)dx=acf(a+bx)dx
P4:0bf(x)dx=0bf(bx)dx
P5:02bf(x)dx=0bf(x)dx+0bf(2bx)dx
P6:02bf(x)dx=20bf(x)dx if f(2bx)=f(x)
and 02bf(x)dx=0 if f(2bx)=f(x)
P7:(i)aaf(x)dx=20af(x)dx, if f is even function, i.e., if f(x)=f(x)
(ii) aaf(x)dx=0, if f is odd function, i.e., f(x)=f(x)

Let us see an example

0π2sinxsinx+cosxdx Let 0π2sinxsinx+cosxdx=I(1)I=0π2sin(π2x)sin(π2x)+cos(π2x)dxI=0π2cosxsinx+cosxdx(2)
Now (1)+(2)
0π2sinxsinx+cosxdx+0π2cosxsinx+cosxdx=2I2I=0π2dxI=π4
