INTEGRATION - COMPLETE STUDY

GUIDE (GRADE 12/13)


1. INTRODUCTION TO INTEGRATION
Integration is a fundamental concept in calculus that represents the reverse process
of differentiation. It is used to find areas, volumes, and accumulated quantities.

There are two main types of integration:


- Indefinite Integration (Antiderivatives)
- Definite Integration (Area under a curve)

2. BASIC INTEGRATION RULES


1. ∫ x^n dx = (x^(n+1))/(n+1) + C, where n ≠ -1
2. ∫ (1/x) dx = ln|x| + C
3. ∫ e^x dx = e^x + C
4. ∫ a^x dx = (a^x / ln a) + C
5. ∫ k dx = kx + C
6. ∫ (f(x) + g(x)) dx = ∫f(x)dx + ∫g(x)dx

3. INTEGRATION OF POLYNOMIALS
Example:
∫ (3x^2 + 4x + 5) dx
= x^3 + 2x^2 + 5x + C

Steps:
1. Integrate term by term
2. Apply power rule
3. Add constant of integration

4. INTEGRATION OF EXPONENTIAL FUNCTIONS


∫ e^x dx = e^x + C
∫ 2^x dx = 2^x / ln(2) + C

5. INTEGRATION OF TRIGONOMETRIC FUNCTIONS


∫ sin x dx = -cos x + C
∫ cos x dx = sin x + C
∫ sec^2 x dx = tan x + C
∫ csc^2 x dx = -cot x + C

6. INTEGRATION BY SUBSTITUTION
This method is used when an integral contains a function and its derivative.

Steps:
1. Let u = inner function
2. Find du
3. Substitute and integrate

Example:
∫ (2x)(x^2+1)^3 dx
Let u = x^2 + 1
du = 2x dx
= ∫ u^3 du = u^4/4 + C
= (x^2+1)^4/4 + C

7. INTEGRATION BY PARTS
Formula:
∫ u dv = uv − ∫ v du

Example:
∫ x e^x dx
Let u = x, dv = e^x dx
Then du = dx, v = e^x
= xe^x − e^x + C

8. DEFINITE INTEGRALS
Used to find area under a curve.

∫[a,b] f(x) dx = F(b) − F(a)

Example:
∫[0,2] x^2 dx
= [x^3/3]_0^2 = 8/3
9. AREA UNDER CURVES
Area = ∫[a,b] |f(x)| dx

If graph is below x-axis, area is taken as positive.

10. APPLICATIONS OF INTEGRATION


- Area under curves
- Volume of solids
- Distance from velocity
- Accumulation problems

11. TRAPEZIUM RULE (NUMERICAL INTEGRATION)


Used when exact integration is difficult.

Formula:
∫[a,b] f(x) dx ≈ h/2 [y0 + yn + 2(y1 + y2 + ... + yn-1)]

12. COMMON MISTAKES


- Forgetting + C
- Wrong power rule
- Sign errors in trig integrals
- Incorrect limits in definite integrals

13. PRACTICE QUESTIONS


1. ∫ (2x^3 − x + 4) dx
2. ∫ sin x dx
3. ∫[1,3] x^2 dx
4. ∫ (3x)(x^2+1)^2 dx
5. ∫ x ln x dx

14. SUMMARY
Integration is a powerful tool in mathematics. Mastery comes through practice and
understanding key rules and techniques.
