Integration Mastery Cheatsheet

Integration Mastery Cheatsheet

This cheatsheet contains formulas, tricks, and shortcuts for mastering integration quickly using

reverse derivative logic.

1. Basic Concept

Integration is the reverse process of differentiation.

If d/dx F(x) = f(x), then Integral of f(x) dx = F(x) + C, where C is the constant of integration.

Types:

- Indefinite Integration: Integral of f(x) dx (no limits)

- Definite Integration: Integral from a to b of f(x) dx (gives a number)

2. Reverse Derivative Table

| Function | Reverse Derivative |

|--------------------|------------------------------|

| x^n | (x^(n+1))/(n+1) + C |

| 1/x | ln|x| + C |

| e^x | e^x + C |

| a^x | a^x / ln(a) + C |

| cos(x) | sin(x) + C |

| sin(x) | -cos(x) + C |

| sec^2(x) | tan(x) + C |

| csc^2(x) | -cot(x) + C |

| sec(x)tan(x) | sec(x) + C |

| csc(x)cot(x) | -csc(x) + C |

3. Power Rule and Pattern Tricks

To integrate x^n:

- Add 1 to power: x^(n+1)


Integration Mastery Cheatsheet

- Divide by new power: (x^(n+1))/(n+1) + C

Examples:

Integral of x^2 dx = x^3 / 3 + C

Integral of x^5 dx = x^6 / 6 + C

Pattern Trick:

- Integration = Think reverse of derivative.

- Integral of cos x dx? Derivative of sin x is cos x -> Ans: sin x + C

4. Techniques of Integration

1. Substitution (Reverse Chain Rule)

2. Integration by Parts (Use ILATE rule)

3. Partial Fractions (Split rational expressions)

4. Trigonometric Identities (Use sin^2x + cos^2x = 1 etc.)

5. Definite Integration (Apply limits)

5. Mnemonics & Memory Tricks

- "SiCo" -> sin <-> cos -> Integral of cos x dx = sin x + C

- "DeTan" -> d/dx(tan x) = sec^2 x -> Integral of sec^2 x dx = tan x + C

- ILATE for Integration by Parts: Inverse, Log, Algebraic, Trig, Exponential

6. Practice Set

1. Integral of 3x^2 dx = x^3 + C

2. Integral of e^x dx = e^x + C

3. Integral of sin x dx = -cos x + C

4. Integral of sec^2 x dx = tan x + C

5. Integral of 1/x dx = ln|x| + C

6. Integral of (2x + 3) dx = x^2 + 3x + C

7. Integral of cos 2x dx = (1/2) sin 2x + C


Integration Mastery Cheatsheet

8. Integral of x e^x dx = x e^x - Integral of e^x dx = x e^x - e^x + C

7. Quick Tips to Master

- Always ask: "Derivative of what = this function?"

- Use flashcards to recall reverse derivatives

- Practice daily with 10-30 questions

- Make your own integration map based on derivatives
