Integration Techniques and Examples

The document discusses integration, which is the reverse process of differentiation. It defines indefinite and definite integrals, and notes that integration techniques are the same for both. Examples are provided of common integration formulas and how to find equations of curves from gradient functions using integration. Integration by substitution is discussed as a method to use when the power of an expression is more than 2. The document concludes with exercises on definite integrals, finding areas and volumes using integration, and enrichment exercises.

Integration

1. Integration is reverse of differentiation. Given that


y=mx +c then dy = m
dx

y=mx +c

2. Integration divided into:


A) Indefinite Integral-no upper and lower limit

B) Definite Integral-contains upper and lower limit

dy
dx

must write constant C

no need to write constant C

3. How to integrate: same technique for definite and indefinite integral

Finding equation of curve from gradient function

dy
dx

Gradient function: i.e result of differentiation


For Example:
Example:

ym
Step 1: Integrating the gradient function

Step 2: Finding the constant C by substituting the given point or coordinate

Step 3: Rewrite the equation with the value of constant C

Sometime the question may ask to express y in term of x by giving the gradient
function
Students still have to follow the above steps to express y in term of x.

Take it as
coordinate or
point

For example:

Integration by substitution
When to use this method

usually when the power of the expression is more than 2


where the expression cant be expanded

For example if y = ( x +2)2 one can expand the power and integrate each term separately.
If in the case the power is more than 2, i.e y= ( 2x + 1)3 it is not practical to expand the term
three times and then integrate each term separately.
By using the substitution one can solve the above expressions.

Solve the following using the above method:
