Indefinite Integrals
Let f ( x ) be a function. Then, the collection of all its primitives is called
the indefinite integral (or anti-derivative) of f ( x ) and is denoted by
∫ f ( x )dx. Integration as an inverse process of differentiation.

Method of Integration
Some integrals are not in standard form, to reduce them into standard
forms, we use the following methods
1. Integration by Substitution
For integral ∫ f ′ { g( x )} g′ ( x ) dx, we create a new variable t = g( x ), so
dt
that g′ ( x ) = or g′ ( x )dx = dt.
dx
Hence, ∫ f ′ { g( x )} g′ ( x )dx = ∫ f ′ ( t )dt = f ( t ) + C = f { g( x )} + C

2. Integration by Parts
This method is used to integrate the product of two functions.
If f ( x ) and g( x ) be two integrable functions, then

∫ f (Ix ) ⋅ g(IIx ) dx = f ( x ) ∫ g( x ) dx − ∫ dx f ( x ) ∫ g( x ) dx dx
Indefinite Integrals 263
(i) We use the following preferential order for taking the first
function.
Inverse → Logarithm → Algebraic → Trigonometric →
Exponential. In short, we write it ILATE.
(ii) If one of the function is not directly integrable, then we take it as
the first function.
(iii) If only one function is there, e.g. ∫ log x dx or ∫ sin−1 x dx etc.
= f ( x )∫ ex dx − ∫ { f ′ ( x )∫ ex dx } dx + ∫ ex f ′ ( x )dx
= ex ⋅ f ( x ) + C
Note ∫ { xf ′ ( x ) + f ( x )} dx = xf ( x ) + C.

deleting the factor ( x − a p ).

method i.e. shortcut can be applied only in the case of non-repeated
linear factors.
