Integrals
• Integration is the inverse process of differentiation. In the differential calculus, we are given a
function and we have to find the derivative or differential of this function, but in the integral
calculus, we are to find a function whose differential is given. Thus, integration is a process
d
which is the inverse of differentiation. Let F ( x ) = f ( x ) . Then we write ∫ f ( x ) dx = F ( x ) + C
dx
. These integrals are called indefinite integrals or general integrals, C is called constant of
integration. All these integrals differ by a constant.
• From the geometric point of view, an indefinite integral is collection of family of curves, each
of which is obtained by translating one of the curves parallel to itself upwards or downwards
along the y-axis.

f ( x ) + g ( x ) dx = ∫ f ( x ) dx + f ( x ) dx
More generally, if f1, f 2 , f3 , ......, f n are functions and k1, k 2 ,......, k n are real numbers. Then
