Chapt 9 Integration 1

1. Integration is a process of obtaining a function from its derivative using techniques like u-substitution. 2. Common integration techniques include recognizing functions as derivatives of other functions and making substitutions to simplify the integral, such as letting u = some function of x and finding du/dx. 3. Examples show integrating functions using u-substitutions and recognizing functions as derivatives to evaluate integrals of various functions of x.

Improper Fractions Solution
So far we have only dealt with proper fractions for which 2 x3  x  1
the numerator is of lower degree than the denominator. ( x  3)( x 2  1)
We can now look at how to deal with improper fractions Consider (x – 3)(x2 + 1)

including completing squares, integration by substitution, ∫ 𝑑𝑥.
