ENG 206 - INTEGRAL CALCULUS

MODULE 1: ANTIDIFFERENTIATION CONCEPT AND FORMULAS

At the end of this session, the student is expected to:

1. define antidifferentiation,
2. evaluate indefinite integral of simple functions.

Ani-Differentiation
The process of finding a function whose derivative is known is called antidifferentiation. The required function is
called an antiderivative of the given function which is called the integrand. Because antidifferentiation is the
inverse operation of differentiation, antidifferentiation theorems are obtained from those on
differentiation. Many important applications of the calculus involve inverse problems.

If F(x) is a function whose derivative is f(x), the relation can be expressed as

Example:

𝑦 = 𝐹(𝑥) dy 𝑑𝑦 = 𝑓(𝑥)𝑑𝑥
= 𝑓(𝑥)
dx
a) 𝑦 = 𝑥 3 + 2𝑥 2 − 8𝑥 + 2 dy 𝑑𝑦 = (3𝑥 2 + 4𝑥 − 8)𝑑𝑥
= 3𝑥 2 + 4𝑥 − 8
dx
b) 𝑦 = ln(𝑥 − 3) dy 1 1
= 𝑑𝑦 = 𝑥−3 (𝑑𝑥)
dx 𝑥 − 3
𝑠𝑖𝑛2 𝑥 dy dy = (sin 𝑥 𝑐𝑜𝑠𝑥) 𝑑𝑥
c) 𝑦 = = sin 𝑥 𝑐𝑜𝑠𝑥

d
F(x) is the antiderivative of f(x) if dx 𝐹(𝑥) = 𝑓(𝑥)

F(x) is the antidifferential of f(x)dx if d(F(x)) = f(x)dx

Indefinite Integrals have the following properties which are easily verified by differentiation.
