Key Topics to Revise

1

Introduction to Integration

  • Integration is the inverse process of differentiation
  • If F'(x) = f(x), then ∫f(x)dx = F(x) + C
  • Anti-derivative or primitive of a function f is a function F such that F'(x) = f(x)
2

Standard Integral Formulas

  • Power rule: ∫xⁿ dx = xⁿ⁺¹/(n+1) + C (n ≠ -1)
  • Exponential functions: ∫eˣ dx = eˣ + C
  • Logarithmic function: ∫(1/x) dx = log|x| + C
3

Properties of Indefinite Integrals

  • Linearity: ∫[f(x) + g(x)]dx = ∫f(x)dx + ∫g(x)dx
  • Scalar multiplication: ∫k·f(x)dx = k∫f(x)dx
  • Differentiation and integration are inverse processes
4

Integration by Substitution

  • Used when integrand contains a function and its derivative
  • Change of variable: x = g(t), dx = g'(t)dt
  • ∫f(x)dx = ∫f(g(t))·g'(t)dt after substitution
