Module 1: BASIC INTEGRATION FORMULAS
OBJECTIVES:
1. Understand integration
2. Know the difference of differentiation and integration
3. Discuss fundamentals of integration
4. Solve integration problems
LESSON:
DEFINITION
The operation of inverse to differentiation is called integration. By differentiation we
find the differential of a given function, and by integration we find the function corresponding to
a given differential. This function is called the integral of the differential.
For instance,
The symbol is used to denote the integral of the expression following it.
Thus the foregoing relations would be written,
2xdx = x
2
d(x2 ) = 2xdx
It is evidently the same thing, whether we consider this integral as the function whose
differential is 2xdx, or the function whose derivative is 2x.
As regards notation, however, it is customary to write
2xdx = x 2x = x
2 2
and not
d
In other words, is the inverse of d, and not of
dx
Thus the general definition of (x)dx is that function whose differential is (x)dx ; the
symbol denoting “the function whose differential is” in the same way that the inverse
symbol tan1 , denotes “the angle whose tangent is.”
Integration is not like differentiation a direct operation, but consists in recognizing the
expression as the differential of a known function, or in reducing it to a form where such
recognition is possible.
ELEMENTARY PRINCIPLE
It is evident that we may write
2xdx = x + 2 2xdx = x
2 2
or –5
2xdx = x
2
As well as
Since the differential of x2 + 2 as well as of x2 – 5 is 2xdx.
2xdx = x + C
2
In general
Where C denotes an arbitrary constant called the constant of integration.
FUNDAMENTALS OF INTEGRAL
Since the integration is the inverse of differentiation, to integrate any given function we
must reduce it to one or more of the differentials of the elementary functions, expressed by the
fundamental formulae of the Differential Calculus.
Corresponding to those formulae, we may write a list of integrals, which may be
regarded as fundamental, and to which all integrals should, if possible, be ultimately reduced.
We shall then consider in this module such examples as are integrable by these formulae either
directly, or after some simple transformation.
