Overview

Integration is the reverse process of differentiation and is fundamental to understanding calculus. This chapter explores the concept of integration, various methods to evaluate integrals, and their practical applications in business and economics. Integration helps us find areas under curves, calcu

Key Concepts

If d(F(x))/dx = f(x)

If d(F(x))/dx = f(x), then ∫f(x)dx = F(x) + C, where C is an arbitrary constant. The integral represents a family of curves that differ by a constant

Key formulae include

Key formulae include: ∫xⁿ dx = xⁿ⁺¹/(n+1) + C (n≠-1), ∫1/x dx = log|x| + C, ∫eˣ dx = eˣ + C, ∫aˣ dx = aˣ/log a + C. These serve as building blocks for

Method where we substitute a part

Method where we substitute a part of the integrand with a new variable to simplify the integral. Rule: ∫f(g(x))g'(x)dx = ∫f(t)dt where g(x) = t. Commo

Technique for integrating rational functions P(x)/Q(x)

Technique for integrating rational functions P(x)/Q(x) by decomposing them into simpler fractions. For example, 1/((x-1)(x+3)) = A/(x-1) + B/(x+3). Ea

Used for integrating products of functions

Used for integrating products of functions using the formula: ∫f(x)g(x)dx = f(x)∫g(x)dx - ∫[f'(x)∫g(x)dx]dx. Choice of first function follows ILATE ru
