Important Points to Remember in Chapter -1 - Indefinite Integral from Amit M Agarwal Skills in Mathematics for JEE MAIN & ADVANCED INTEGRAL CALCULUS Solutions
1. Basics of Indefinite Integral
(i) Definition of Indefinite Integration:
If are function of such that , then the function is called a primitive or antiderivative or integral of w.r.t. and is written symbolically as
where is called the constant of integration.
2. Properties of Indefinite Integrals:

4. Methods of Integration
(i) Substitution or Change of Independent Variable Method:
The integral can be changed into by a suitable substitution i.e., provided is easier to integrate.
Some Basic Substitution:
(a) or put & proceed.
(b) take common & put .
(c) take common & put .
(d) take common and put .
(ii) Integration by Parts Method:
where are differentiable functions.
Note: While using integration by parts, choose & such that is simple to integrate. This is generally obtained by keeping the order of as per the order of the letters in ILATE, where I-Inverse function, L-Logarithmic function, A-Algebraic function, T-Trigonometric function & E-Exponential function.
.
This is an important formula and should be always remembered.
(iii) Partial Fraction Method:
Rational function is defined as the ratio of two polynomials in the form where and are polynomials in and If the degree of is less than the degree of , then the rational function is called proper, otherwise, it is called improper. The improper rational function can be reduced to the proper rational functions by a long division process. Thus, if is improper, then where is a polynomial in and is a proper rational function. It is always possible to write the integrand as a sum of simpler rational functions by a method called partial fraction decomposition. After this, the integration can be carried out easily using the already known methods.

Note:
In competitive exams, partial fractions are generally found by inspection by noting the following fact:
It can also be applied to the case when or any other function is there in place of x.
5. Integration of Rational Functions
(i) For or or , express in the form of perfect square & then apply the standard results.
(ii) For or , express (differential coefficient of denominator) .
(iii) For or , where is any constant. Divide by then put or respectively & proceed.
6. Integration of Irrational Functions
(i) or , put
(ii) put , put
(iii) or put
(iv) or put
(v) put or
Integration Using Trigonometric Identities:
(a) For or , multiply by put .
(b) For or or , convert sines & cosines into their respective tangents of half angles and then put tan .
(c) For , express Numerator & proceed.
(d) To integrate
If is odd positive integer, put .
If is odd positive integer, put .
If is negative even integer, then put .
If and are both even positive integer, then use .
7. Reduction Formula:
A reduction formula is one that enables us to solve an integral problem by reducing it to a problem of solving an easier integral problem, and then reducing that to the problem of solving an easier problem, and so on. Reduction formulae are generated using Integration by Part method.
Some basic reduction formulae are given below. These are not necessarily to be remembered but process of finding these formulae is expected.
