Introduction to Integration
What is integration?
Integration is the opposite to differentiation
Integration is the process of finding the expression of a function from an expression of
the derivative (gradient function)

What is the fundamental theorem of calculus?

The Fundamental Theorem of Calculus states that integration is the inverse process of
differentiation
This form of the Theorem relates to Indefinite Integration
An alternative version of the Fundamental Theorem of Calculus involves Definite
Integration

What is the constant of integration (+c)?

When differentiating y, constant terms ‘disappear’

 dy
for constants y = c,
dx
=0
Your notes
graphs of constants are horizontal lines and so have gradient of 0
dy
Integrating , to get y, cannot determine the constant
dx
To acknowledge this constant, “+ c” is used
c is called the constant of integration

What is the notation for integration?

An integral is normally written in the form

∫ f x dx
( )

the large operator ∫ means “integrate”

“dx ” indicates which variable to integrate with respect to

f x is the function to be integrated

( )

If it has more than one term the function to be integrated (called the integrand) should
be in brackets
“Integrate” -– “all of (…)” -– “with respect to x”

 Integrating Powers of x
Your notes
Integrating Powers of x
How do I integrate powers of x?
Powers of x are integrated according to the following formulae:

If f x
( ) = x n then
the constant of integration
∫ f x dx =
( )
x n +1
n +1
+ c where n ∈ℚ, n ≠ − 1 and c is

For each term …

… increase the power (of x) by 1
… divide by the new power
This does not apply when the original power is -1
the new power would be 0 and division by 0 is undefined

If the power of x is multiplied by a constant then the integral is also multiplied by that
constant

If f x
( ) = ax n then ∫ f x dx =
( )
ax n + 1
n +1
+ c where n ∈ℚ, n ≠ − 1 and a
is a constant and c is the constant of integration
Remember the special case:

∫ a dx = ax + c

e.g. ∫ 4 dx = 4x + c
This allows constant terms to be integrated

How do I integrate expressions containing powers of
x? Your notes
The formulae for integrating powers of x apply to all rational numbers so it is possible to
integrate any expression that is a sum or difference of powers of x

e.g. If f x = 8x 3 − 2x + 4 then
∫
( )

8x 3 + 1 2x 1 + 1
f x dx = − 1 + 1 + 4x +c = 2x 4 − x 2 + 4x +c
3+1
( )

Functions involving roots will need to be rewritten as fractional powers of x first

1
eg. If f x ( ) =5 3
x then rewrite as f x ( ) = 5x 3 and integrate

Functions involving fractions with denominators in terms of x will need to be rewritten

as negative powers of x first

4
e.g. If f ( x ) = x 2 + x 2 then rewrite as f x = 4x −2 + x 2 and integrate
( )

Products and quotients cannot be integrated this way so would need

expanding/simplifying first

e.g. If f x = 8x 2 2x − 3 then

∫ ∫
( ) ( )

16x 4 24x 3
f x dx = 16x 3 − 24x 2 dx = − +c = 4x 4 − 8x 3 +c

Examiner Tips and Tricks

You can speed up the process of integration in the exam by committing the
pattern of basic integration to memory
In general you can think of it as 'raising the power by one and dividing by the
new power'
Practice this lots before your exam so that it comes quickly and naturally
when doing more complicated integration questions

 Definite Integrals
Your notes
Definite Integration
What is definite integration?
Definite Integration occurs in an alternative version of the Fundamental Theorem of
Calculus
This version of the Theorem is the one referred to by most textbooks/websites

a and b are called limits

a is the lower limit
b is the upper limit
f’(x) is the derivative of f(x)
The value can be positive, zero or negative

Why do I not need to include a constant of integration

for definite integration?

© 2025 Save My Exams, Ltd. Get more and ace your exams at savemyexams.com 11
 Your notes

“+c” would appear in both f(a) and f(b)

Since we then calculate f(b) – f(a) they cancel each other out
So “+c” is not included with definite integration

How do I find a definite integral?

STEP 1
Give the integral a name (if it does not already have one)
This saves you having to rewrite the whole integral every time!
STEP 2
If necessary rewrite the integral into a more easily integrable form
Not all functions can be integrated directly
STEP 3
Integrate without applying the limits
Notation: use square brackets [ ] with limits placed after the end bracket
STEP 4
Substitute the limits into the function and calculate the answer
Substitute the top limit first
Then substitute the bottom limit
Subtract the second value from the first

Examiner Tips and Tricks

Look out for questions that ask you to find an indefinite integral in one part (so
“+c” needed), then in a later part use the same integral as a definite integral
(where “+c” is not needed)

Area Under a Curve
What does area under a curve mean?
The phrase “area under a curve” refers to the area bounded by …
... the x-axis
… the graph of y = f(x)
… the vertical line x = a
… the vertical line x = b

How do I find the area under a curve?

Set y = 0 and solve the equation to find the x-axis intercepts

What happens if the graph is below the x-axis?

If the area lies underneath the x-axis the value of the integral will be negative
An area cannot be negative, so take the modulus of the integral

 Your notes

What if the area is made up of more than one section?

Be careful when one section is above and one section is below the x-axis
You will need a separate integral for each section, BUT...
...One section's integral will be negative
...One section's integral will be positive
So you’ll need to take the modulus before adding to find the total area

 Reverse Chain Rule
Your notes
Reverse Chain Rule
What is the reverse chain rule?
The Chain Rule is a way of differentiating two (or more) functions
The Reverse Chain Rule (RCR) refers to integrating by inspection
Spotting that chain rule would be used in the reverse (differentiating) process

How do I know when to use the reverse chain rule?

The reverse chain rule is used when we have the product of a composite function and
the derivative of its second function
Integration is trickier than differentiation; many of the shortcuts do not work

For example, in general ∫ ef x dx ≠

( )
1 fx
f x
e
' ( )
( )

However, this result is true if f ( x is linear ax + b

) ( )

Formally, in function notation, the reverse chain rule is used for integrands of the form

∫
I = g ' x f ' g x dx
( ) ( ( ))

This does not have to be strictly true, but ‘algebraically’ it should be

If the coefficients do not match ‘adjust and compensate’ can be used
2 2
For example, ex differentiates to 2x ex with the chain rule

so ∫ 2x ex dx = ex
2 2
+ c with the reverse chain rule
But to do ∫ 2
5x ex dx we need to:

Take out the five: 5 ∫ x ex dx

2

Force a 2 inside (adjust) and divide the outside by a 2 (compensate):

5
2 ∫ 2
2x ex dx

The bit inside the integral is now a reverse chain rule

5 x2
The answer is e +c

( ) |+c Your notes

i.e. the numerator is (almost) the derivative of the denominator

'adjust and compensate' may need to be used to deal with any coefficients

d x =

Integrating Composite Functions (ax+b)

What is a composite function?
A composite function involves one function being applied after another
A composite function may be described as a “function of a function”
This Revision Note focuses on one of the functions being linear – i.e. of the form
ax + b
How do I integrate linear (ax+b) functions?
The reverse chain rule can be used for integrating functions in the form y = (ax + b)n
Make sure you are confident using the chain rule to differentiate functions in the
form y = (ax + b)n
The reverse chain rule works backwards
For n = 2 you will most likely expand the brackets and integrate each term separately
If n > 2 this becomes time-consuming and if n is not a positive integer we need a
different method completely

To use the reverse chain rule ∫ ( ax + b n dx (provided n is not -1)

)

Raise the power of n by 1

Divide by this new power
Divide this whole function by the coefficient of x

∫ ( ax +b )
