Integration Concepts and Formulas
Anti-differentiation
• inverse process of determining a function whose derivative is known
• the required function is called an anti-derivative of the given function.
(Peterson)
• Given the derivative of a function, to find the function. The required
function is called an integral of the given derivative, and the process
of finding it is called integration.
• The given function is the integrand. (Love and Rainville).
Anti-differentiation
• Hence, anti-differentiation and integration mean same thing and the
anti-derivative is also the integral. Thus 𝑥 4 is antiderivative (integral)
of 4𝑥 3 , because 4𝑥 3 is the derivative of 𝑥 4 with respect to 𝑥.
• It is also observed that if any constant 𝐶 is added to 𝑥 4 , the sum
𝑥 4 + 𝐶 is also an antiderivative of 4𝑥 3 .
• Two functions 𝐹1 (𝑥) and 𝐹2 (𝑥) that have the same derivative differ
at most by a constant.
Anti-differentiation
• Instead of saying that 𝐹 𝑥 is an antiderivative of 𝑓 𝑥 , we
could say the 𝐹 𝑥 is an integral of 𝑓 𝑥 , and their
relationship could be expressed in the form
න 𝑓 𝑥 𝑑𝑥 = 𝐹 𝑥 + 𝐶
1. 𝑥 = 𝑥𝑑 + 𝐶
2. 𝑥𝑑 𝑎 = 𝑥𝑑 𝑎, where 𝑎 is a constant
3. 𝑥 𝑓 + 𝑔 𝑥 𝑑𝑥 = 𝑥𝑑 𝑥 𝑓 + 𝑥𝑑 𝑥 𝑔
𝑛 𝑥 𝑛+1
4. = 𝑥𝑑 𝑥 𝑛+1
+ 𝐶, 𝑛 ≠ −1
