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 f & F are function of x such that F'x=fx, then the function F is called a primitive or antiderivative or integral of fx w.r.t. x and is written symbolically as

fxdx=Fx+cddxFx+c=fx, where c is called the constant of integration.

2. Properties of Indefinite Integrals:

(i) fxdx=Fx+c,if F'x=fx, similarly, fxdx'=fx

(ii) fx±gxdx= fxdx±gxdx

(iii) kfxdx=kfxdx, k is any constant which must be independent of x.

(iv) fax+bdx=1aFax+b+c

3. Standard Formulae:

(i) ax+bndx=ax+bn+1an+1+c;n-1

(ii) dxax+b=1alnax+b+c

(iii) eax+bdx=1aeax+b+c

(iv) apx+qdx=1papx+qlna+ca>0

(v) sinax+bdx=-1acosax+b+c

(vi) cosax+bdx=1asinax+b+c

(vii) tanax+bdx=1aln secax+b+c

(viii) cotax+bdx=1aln sinax+b+c

(ix) sec2ax+bdx=1atanax+b+c

(x) cosec2ax+bdx=-1acotax+b+c

(xi) cosecax+b·cotax+bdx=-1acosecax+b+c

(xii) secax+b·tanax+bdx=1a·secax+b+c

(xiii) secx dx=lnsecx+tanx+c or secx dx=ln tanπ4+x2+c

(xiv) cosecx dx=lncosecx-cotx+c or -lncosecx+cotx+c or lntanx2+c

(xv) dxa2-x2=sin-1xa+c

(xvi) dxa2+x2=1atan-1xa+c

(xvii) dxxx2-a2=1asec-1xa+c

(xviii) dxx2+a2=lnx+x2+a2+c

(xix) dxx2-a2=lnx+x2-a2+c

(xx) dxa2-x2=12alna+xa-x+c

(xxi) dxx2-a2=12alnx-ax+a+c

(xxii) a2-x2dx=x2a2-x2+a22sin-1xa+c

(xxiii) x2+a2dx=x2x2+a2+a22lnx+x2+a2+c

(xxiv) x2-a2dx=x2x2-a2-a22lnx+x2-a2+c

(xxv) eax·sinbx dx=eaxa2+b2asinbx-bcosbx+c

(xxvi) eax·cosbx dx=eaxa2+b2acosbx+bsinbx+c

4. Methods of Integration

(i) Substitution or Change of Independent Variable Method:

The integral I=fxdx can be changed into fϕtϕ'tdt, by a suitable substitution i.e., x=ϕ t provided fϕtϕ'tdt, is easier to integrate.

Some Basic Substitution:

(a) fxnf'xdx or f'xfxndx put fx=t & proceed.

(b) dxxxn+1nN, take xncommon & put 1+x-n=t.

(c) dxx2xn+1n-1nnN, take xn common & put 1+x-n=tn.

(d) dxxn1+xn1n, take xn common and put 1+x-n=t.

(ii) Integration by Parts Method:

u·vdx=uvdx-dudx·vdxdx where u & v are differentiable functions.

Note: While using integration by parts, choose u & v such that vdx & dudx·vdxdx is simple to integrate. This is generally obtained by keeping the order of u & v 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.

exf(x)+f'(x)dx=ex·f(x)+c.

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 PxQx, where Px and Qx are polynomials in x and Qx0. If the degree of Px is less than the degree of Qx, 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 PxQx is improper, then PxQx=T(x)+P1xQx where Tx is a polynomial in x and P1xQx 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.

S. No. Form of the rational function Form of the partial fraction

1

px2+qx+rx-ax-bx-c Ax-a+Bx-b+Cx-c

2

px2+qx+r(x-a)2x-b Ax-a+B(x-a)2+Cx-b

3

px2+qx+rx-ax2+bx+c

where x2+bx+c cannot be factorized further i.e. D<0

Ax-a+Bx+Cx2+bx+c

Note:

In competitive exams, partial fractions are generally found by inspection by noting the following fact: 1x-αx-β=1α-β1x-α-1x-β

It can also be applied to the case when x2 or any other function is there in place of x.

5. Integration of Rational Functions

(i) For dxax2+bx+c or dxax2+bx+c or ax2+bx+cdx, express ax2+bx+c in the form of perfect square & then apply the standard results.

(ii) For px+qax2+bx+cdx or px+qax2+bx+cdx, express px+q=A (differential coefficient of denominator) + B.

(iii) For x2+1x4+Kx2+1dx or  x2-1x4+Kx2+1dx, where K is any constant. Divide Nr & Dr by x2, then put x-1x=t or x+1x=t respectively & proceed.

6. Integration of Irrational Functions

(i) dx(ax+b)px+q or dxax2+bx+cpx+q, put px+q=t2

(ii) dxax+bpx2+qx+r, put ax+b=1t ,dxax2+bx+cpx2+qx+r, put x=1t

(iii) x-αβ-xdx or (x-α)(β-x); put x=αcos2θ+βsin2θ

(iv) x-αx-βdx or x-αx-β; put x=αsec2θ-βtan2θ

(v) dxx-αx-β; put x=α-t2 or x-β=t2

 Integration Using Trigonometric Identities:

(a) For dxa+bsin2x or dxa+bcos2x or dxasin2x+bsinxcosx+ccos2x, multiply Nr & Dr by sec2× & put tanx=t.

(b) For dxa+bsinx or dxa+bcosx or dxa+bsinx+ccosx, convert sines & cosines into their respective tangents of half angles and then put tan x2=t.

(c) For acosx+bsinx+cpcosx+qsinx+rdx, express Numerator Nr=lDr+mddxDr+n & proceed.

(d) To integrate sinmxcosnxdx

If m is odd positive integer, put cosx=t.

If n is odd positive integer, put sinx=t.

If m+n is negative even integer, then put tanx=t.

 If m and n are both even positive integer, then use sin2x=1-cos2x2, cos2x=1+cos2x2.

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.

(i) In=xneaxdx=xneaxa-naIn-1

(ii) In=sinnxdx= -sinn-1xcosxn-n-1nIn-2

(iii) In=xalnxnx=xa+1lnxna+1-na+1In-1

(iv) In=xx2+a2n=x2n-1a2x2-a2n-1-2n-32n-1a2In-1
