CALCULUS II – COMPLETE NOTES
1. Introduction to Integration
Integration is the reverse process of differentiation. It is mainly used to find areas,
volumes, displacement, and accumulated quantities. If d/dx (F(x)) = f(x), then ∫ f(x) dx =
F(x) + C, where C is the constant of integration.
Example: ∫ 2x dx = x² + C
2. Techniques of Integration
a) Power Rule
∫ x■ dx = (x■■¹)/(n+1) + C, for n ≠ -1
Example: ∫ x³ dx = x■/4 + C
b) Substitution Method
Used when the integrand contains a function and its derivative.
Example: ∫ 2x(x²+1) dx
Let u = x²+1, du = 2x dx → ∫ u du = u²/2 + C = (x²+1)²/2 + C
c) Integration by Parts
Formula: ∫ u dv = uv − ∫ v du
Example: ∫ x e■ dx
Let u=x, dv=e■dx → Result = x e■ − e■ + C
d) Integration of Trigonometric Functions
Examples:
∫ sin x dx = −cos x + C
∫ cos x dx = sin x + C
e) Product of Functions
Handled using integration by parts.
f) Integration of Rational Functions
Solved using partial fractions.
Example: ∫ 1/(x+1)(x+2) dx
3. Applications of Integration
a) Displacement
If velocity v(t) is known, displacement = ∫ v(t) dt
b) Area Under a Curve
Area between curve y=f(x) and x-axis from a to b is ∫■■ f(x) dx
Example: Area under y=x² from 0 to 2 is ∫■² x² dx = 8/3
c) Length of a Curve
L = ∫ √(1 + (dy/dx)²) dx
d) Surface Area
Surface area of revolution: S = 2π ∫ y √(1+(dy/dx)²) dx
4. Numerical Integration
Used when integrals are difficult or impossible to solve analytically.
a) Trapezoidal Rule
∫■■ f(x) dx ≈ (h/2)[f(a)+2f(x■)+…+f(b)]
b) Simpson’s Rule
∫■■ f(x) dx ≈ (h/3)[f(x■)+4f(x■)+2f(x■)+…+f(x■)]
5. Basic Integration Rules
∫ (f(x)+g(x)) dx = ∫ f(x) dx + ∫ g(x) dx
∫ kf(x) dx = k ∫ f(x) dx
Standard Integrals
∫ 1/x dx = ln|x| + C
∫ e■ dx = e■ + C
