INTRODUCTION
Differential Calculus is centred on the concept of the derivative. The original motivation for the
derivative was the problem of defining tangent lines to the graphs of functions and calculating
the slope of such lines. Integral Calculus is motivated by the problem of defining and calculating
the area of the region bounded by the graph of the functions.
If a function f is differentiable in an interval I, i.e., its derivative f Âexists at each point of I, then
a natural question arises that given f Âat each point of I, can we determine the function ? The
functions that could possibly have given function as a derivative are called anti derivatives (or
primitive) of the function. Further, the formula that gives all these anti derivatives is called
integration. Such type of problems arise in many practical situations. For instance, if we know the
instantaneous velocity of an object at any instant, then there arises a natural question, i.e., can
we determine the position of the object at any instant ? There are several such practical and
theoretical situations where the process of integration is involved. The development of integral
calculus arises out of the efforts of solving the problems of the following types : (a) the problem
of finding a function whenever its derivative is given, (b) the problem of finding the area bounded
by the graph of a function under certain conditions.
These two problems lead to the two forms of the integrals, e.g., indefinite and definite integrals,
which together constitute the Integral Calculus.
There is a connection, known as the Fundamental Theorem of Calculus, between indefinite
integral and definite integral which makes the definite integral as a practical tool for science and
engineering. The definite integral is also used to solve many interesting problems from various
disciplines like economics, finance and probability.

In differentiation we considered the following problem : given a function F (x), find its derivative,
that is, the function f (x) = F´(x).
In this chapter we shall consider the reverse problem : given a function f(x), it is required to find
a function F (x) such that its derivative is equal to f(x), that is, F´(x) = f(x)
Definition 1 : A function F (x) is called the antiderivative of the function f(x) on the interval
(a, b,) if at all points of the interval F´ (x) = f(x).

It is easy to see that if for the given function f (x) there exists an antiderivative, then this
antiderivative is not the only one. In the foregoing example, we could take the following functions
as antiderivative :

I ntegr ation, integr and and integr al

The process of finding integral of a function is called integration and the function which is
integrated is called the integrand. The function whose d.c. is the integrand is called the integral
of the integrand.

d {F( x)} {F( x)  c }

Indefinite Integral : If  f (x) then also d  f ( x) where c is an arbitrary
dx dx
constant.

Thus here general value of  f (x) dx is F(x) + c, where c is an arbitrary constant. c is called
constant of integration.
Clearly integral will change if c changes. Thus integral of a function is not unique and if one
integral of f (x) is F(x), then F(x) + c will be also an integral of f( x), where c is a constant.

Thus f (x )dx will have infinite number of values and hence it is called indefinite integral of f(x).

Definition Particular Integral : If d[F( x)  c]  f (x ) then

dx

 f (x) dx = F(x) + c.  f (x )dx will have different values for different values of c.

For a definite value C1 of c,  f (x) dx will have a definite value F(x) + c 1.

Hence F(x) + c1 is a particular integral of f( x).

G(x) = x2 + 2
Note: Because of constant of integration it is possible
that the same function may have different integrals
but the difference between two integrals of a function F(x) = x2
is a constant.
Thus, an indefinite integral is a family of functions
y = F(x) + C.
x1 O
From the geometrical point of view, an indefinite integral
is a collection (family) of curves, each of which is H(x) = x2 ă 4
obtained by translating one of the curves parallel to
itself upwards or downwards (that is, along the y-axis).
For example, if you graph the three antiderivatives of
f(x) = 2x, you will see that the all graphs have the same

shape because at any x-value, their tangent lines all have the same slope, as shown in figure.
A natural question arises : do antiderivatives (and, hence, indefinite integrals) exist for every
function f(x)? The answer is no. Let us note, however, without proof, that if a function, f(X) is
continuous on an interval [a, b], then this function has an antiderivative and hence, there is also
an indefinite integral).
This chapter is devoted to working out methods by means of which we can find antiderivatives
(and indefinite integrals) for certain classes of elementary functions.

Some Pr op er t ies of t he I n d efin it e I nt egr a l

Rule
1. The indefinite integral of an algebraic sum of two or more functions is equal to algebraic
sum of their integrals.

 [f 1 (x )  f 2 (x )] dx   f 1 (x )dx   f 2 (x )dx
2. Constant factor may be taken outside the integral sign, that is, if a const, then

 af ( x ) dx  a  f ( x ) dx
When evaluating indefinite integrals it is useful to bear in mind the following rules.
Example :

 (2x  2x dx   3sin xdx   5

METHOD–II : INTEGRATION BY SUBSTITUTION (CHANGE OF VARIABLE)
Let it be required to find the integral

 f (x) dx ;
we cannot directly select the antiderivative of f (x) but we know that it exists.
Let us change the variable in the expression under the integral sign, putting
x =  (t) ... (1)
wher e  (t) is a c ontinuous function (with continuous derivtive) ha ving a n inverse
function.
The dx = ´ (t) dt, we shall prove that in this case we have the following equation :

 f (x) dx   f [(t)] ´ (t) dt ... (2)

The following are some instances of integration by substitution.

M et h od of Sub st it ut ion

f ´( x)
Type 1 :  f (x) dx
This is a very common type of substitution.
put f (x) = t, then
   f´(x) dx = dt, so the integral becomes

f ´( x) dt
 f (x) dx   t  log t  c

f ´( x)
  f ( x)
dx  log f ( x)  c

You can also remember this by the following method

W or king R ule :
(i) Integrals of functions of the form uv may be found by method of integration by parts when
u and v are two different functions not connected by their derivatives.
In finding integrals by this method proper choice of functions u and v is essential. Although
there is no fixed law for taking u and v and their choice is possible by practice, yet following
rule is helpful in the choice of functions u and v.
If the two functions are different types, take that functions as, u which comes first in the
word ILATE.

where I stands for Inverse circular function
L stands for Logarthmic function
A stands for Algebraic function
T stands for Trigonometrical functions
and E stands for Exponential function
(ii) If both the functions are trigonometrical, take that function as v whose integral is simpler.
(iii) If both the functions are algerbraic take that functions as u whose d c is simpler.

Note :
1. Integral can be used by the method of integration by parts if the integrand is the product
of two functions u and v, where d c of u is not a factor of v and d.c . of v is not a factor
of u.
2. If logarithmic or inverse circular function occurs in the numerator and its d.c. is not a factor
of the integrand use integration by parts.
3. Sometimes integration by parts may be used by taking integrand as u and 1 as v.

METHOD 4 : INTEGRATION BY PARTIAL FRACTION

We have divided this method into 2 types, depending upon the denominator.
1. If denominator has non repeated factors
2. If denominator has repeating factors

T yp e 1 : F or non-R epeat ing r oot s

When denominator can be expressed as non repeating factors
i.e. D(x) = (x ă 1) (x ă 2)... (for linear factors)
2
= (ax + bx + c) (px + qx + r)... (for quadratic factors)
Note that 1  2   3
let us understand the concept with illustrations.

for partial fraction method, we write the function as

6 A B
 
( x  1) ( x  1) ( x  1) ( x  1)
we have taken A & B as constants as the factors in denominator are linear.
Now we find the values of A & B by solving the R.H.S. & equating the coefficients of L.H.S. &
R.H.S.
Numerator in R.H.S. = A (x + 1) + B (x ă 1)
= (A + B)x + (A ă B)
we know there is no term of x in numerator on L.H.S.
this, equating

i.e. if (x ă b) has power 2 then there will be two terms for it, (x ă b) & (x ă b)2
& if (x ă c) has power 3, then 3 terms i.e. (x ă c), (x ă c) 2 & (x ă c) 3

First Method
It is the normal method of equating coefficients of equal degree on both sides. Though it might
become complicated as the degree of factors increase.

we can find the values of A2 & B by trick method.
How do determine whether A1 or A 2 will be given by trick method ?
The answer is, the numerator of highest degree of that particular linear factor can be determined
by trick method.
for ex., in the question 1 degr ee of (x ă 1) is 2. Hence in partial fractions the term with (x ă 1)2
in denominator can be determined by trick method.

since the term is not in proper rational form, we will first convert it into that.

( t  1) (t  2)  (t  3) (t  4)

now degree of denominator is greater than numerator making it a proper fraction (as t2 term will
cancel out).

To evaluate this type of integrals, we use the following algorithm
(i) Write Numerator =  (Diff. of denominator) + ø (Denominator) + v
i.e. a sin x + b cos x + c =  (p cosx ă q sinx) + ø (psin x + q cosx + r) + v
(ii) Obtain the values of  and ø by equating the coefficient of sinx and cosx and the constant
terms on both the sides
(iii) Replace numerator in the integrand by  (p cosx ă q sinx) + ø (p sinx + qcosx + r) + v to

W or king Rule :
To evaluate this type of integrals we use the following algorithm :
(i) Divide numerator and denominator both by cos2x
(ii) Replace sec2 x, if any, in denominator by 1 + tan 2 x
(iii) Put tan x = t so that sec2 x dx = dt

1
This substitution reduces the integral in the form
 at 2
 bt  c
dt

(iv) Evaluate the integral obtained in step III by using the methods discussed earlier.
