Algebraic Integration Formula Sheet
1. Power Rule:
Integral of x^n dx = (x^(n+1))/(n+1) + C (for n not equal to -1)
2. Constant Rule:
Integral of a dx = ax + C
3. Sum/Difference Rule:
Integral of (f(x) ± g(x)) dx = Integral of f(x) dx ± Integral of g(x) dx
4. Linear Factor Rule:
Integral of (ax + b)^n dx = ((ax + b)^(n+1))/(a(n+1)) + C
5. Reciprocal Rule (Log Form):
Integral of 1/x dx = ln|x| + C
Integral of 1/(ax + b) dx = (1/a) ln|ax + b| + C
6. Rational Expressions (Partial Fractions):
For Integral of (P(x)/Q(x)) dx (if proper fraction):
Break into simpler fractions and integrate term by term.
7. Quadratic Reciprocal Form:
Integral of 1/(x^2 + a^2) dx = (1/a) arctan(x/a) + C
8. Expand Polynomial Products:
Example: Integral of (x+1)(x^2+3) dx = Integral of (x^3 + x^2 + 3x + 3) dx
9. Polynomial Long Division (for Improper Rational Functions):
If degree numerator >= degree denominator, divide first.
10. Square Root Terms (Power Rule Adapted):
sqrt(x) = x^(1/2), so
Integral of sqrt(x) dx = (2/3) x^(3/2) + C
11. Inverse Power Rule (n = -1):
Integral of 1/x dx = ln|x| + C
12. Binomial Expansion Trick:
Integral of sqrt(1 + x) dx = Integral of (1 + x)^(1/2) dx
