Card 1Basic Definitions

What is integration? Define integral or antiderivative of a function.

Answer

Integration is the inverse operation of differentiation. If f(x) and g(x) are two functions such that d/dx[f(x)] = g(x), then f(x) is called an integral of g(x) with respect to x. It is denoted by ∫g(

Card 2Integration Rules

State the three fundamental rules of integration.

Answer

1. ∫k·f(x)dx = k∫f(x)dx (constant multiple rule) 2. ∫[f(x) + g(x)]dx = ∫f(x)dx + ∫g(x)dx (sum rule) 3. ∫[f(x) - g(x)]dx = ∫f(x)dx - ∫g(x)dx (difference rule) These rules allow us to integrate linear c

Card 3Standard Integrals

Write the standard integral formula for ∫x^n dx and state the condition.

Answer

∫x^n dx = x^(n+1)/(n+1) + c, where n ≠ -1 Condition: This formula is valid for all real numbers n except n = -1. For n = -1: ∫(1/x)dx = log|x| + c Example: ∫x³dx = x⁴/4 + c

Card 4Basic Integration

Solve: ∫(3x² - 5x + 2)dx

Answer

Step 1: Apply the sum/difference rule ∫(3x² - 5x + 2)dx = ∫3x²dx - ∫5x dx + ∫2 dx Step 2: Apply constant multiple rule = 3∫x²dx - 5∫x dx + 2∫dx Step 3: Use standard formulas = 3(x³/3) - 5(x²/2) + 2x

Card 5Substitution Method

What is the substitution method in integration? When is it used?

Answer

The substitution method (Method of Change of Variable) is used to simplify complex integrals by changing the variable. We substitute x = φ(t) where φ(t) is a differentiable function. Theorem: ∫f(x)dx

Card 6Substitution Method

Solve using substitution: ∫(2x + 1)⁵dx

Answer

Step 1: Let u = 2x + 1, then du = 2dx, so dx = du/2 Step 2: Substitute ∫(2x + 1)⁵dx = ∫u⁵ · (du/2) = (1/2)∫u⁵du Step 3: Integrate = (1/2) · u⁶/6 + c = u⁶/12 + c Step 4: Back substitute = (2x + 1)⁶/

Card 7Substitution Method

State the corollary for ∫f(x)·f'(x)dx and give an example.

Answer

Corollary: ∫f(x)ⁿ·f'(x)dx = [f(x)]^(n+1)/(n+1) + c, where n ≠ -1 Example: ∫x²·√(x³ + 1)dx Here f(x) = x³ + 1, so f'(x) = 3x² Rewrite as: ∫(x³ + 1)^(1/2) · 3x²dx · (1/3) = (1/3) ∫(x³ + 1)^(1/2) · 3x²d

Card 8Substitution Method

What is the formula for ∫f'(x)/f(x)dx? Give an example.

Answer

Formula: ∫f'(x)/f(x)dx = log|f(x)| + c Example: ∫(2x)/(x² + 1)dx Here f(x) = x² + 1, so f'(x) = 2x Therefore: ∫(2x)/(x² + 1)dx = log|x² + 1| + c = log(x² + 1) + c (Since x² + 1 > 0 for all real x) A
