Chapter 6 (Integration Techniques)



The integration techniques are developed for using the basic integration formulas (in the table) to obtain
the anti-derivative of more complicated functions.

6-1 Review of integration using basic formulas and substitution:

The basic formulas with algebraic manipulation and substitution technique, which already covered
before, can be used effectively to find the anti-derivatives for many integration problems.

6-2 Integration by Parts:

We have observed that every differentiation rule gives rise to corresponding integration rule.

So, let ) (x u and ) (x v are differentiable functions, then the product rule is:

dx
x du
x v
dx
x dv
x u x v x u
dx
d ) (
) (
) (
) ( )] ( ) ( [ + =

Integration both sides with respect to x of this equation gives us

dx
dx
x du
x v dx
dx
x dv
x u dx x v x u
dx
d ) (
) (
) (
) ( )] ( ) ( [

+ =

Since dx
dx
du
du = and dx
dx
dv
dv = then, after rearranging, we will have

) ( ) ( ) ( ) ( ) ( ) ( x du x v x v x u x dv x u

= == =

Which is called Integration by parts formula.


Then integration by parts formula is given by




This formula expresses one integral

dv u in terms of a second integral

du v which should be easier
than the first one.

Example: Evaluate

dx x ln

Solution: Let x u ln = and dx dv = , then

Differentiate Integrate
dx

C x x x dx

x x x dx x + = =

Differentiate Integrate
dx du = x v cos = , then

C x x x dx x x x dx x x + + = =

If we let x u sin = == = and dx x dv = == = , then

Differentiate Integrate

The new integration is worse than the integral we started with. So if the new integral is much more
complicated than the original one, go back and set u and dv equal to something else so that you end up
with an easier integral to solve.

Example: Evaluate

dx x x sin
2

Solution: Let
2
x u = and dx x dv sin =

Differentiate Integrate

dx x du 2 = x v cos = , then

+ = = xdx x x x dx x x x x dx x x cos 2 cos ) cos 2 ( ) cos ( sin
2 2 2

The integration in the right hand side

dx x xcos can be evaluated using again integration by parts by


letting:
x u = and dx x dv cos =

Differentiate Integrate
dx du = x v sin =

x x x dx x x x dx x x cos sin sin sin cos + = =

, then
C x x x x x dx x x + + + =

cos 2 sin 2 cos sin

Again, if we let x u sin = and dx x dv
2
= , the second integral becomes worse.

Example: Evaluate

dx e x
x 2

Solution: Let
2
x u = and dx e dv
x

Differentiate Integrate
xdx du 2 =
x
e v = , then

Differentiate Integrate

6-4 Integration of Rational Functions Using Partial Fractions:

The rational function
) (
) (
) (
x g
x h
x f = , where ) (x h , ) (x g are polynomials, can be decomposed into a sum
of simpler terms by the method called Partial Fractions as follows:

If ) (x f is proper, that is the deg( ) (x h ) < deg( ) (x g ), then ) (x f can be expressed as a sum
of simpler fractions.

If ) (x f is improper, that is the deg( ) (x h ) > deg( ) (x g ), then we must apply first long
division until the remainder ) (x R is obtained such that deg( ) (x R ) < deg( ) (x g ), i.e. ) (x f
will be in the form

) (
) (
) ( ) (
x g
x R
x p x f + =

Factors the denominator ) (x g as a product of linear factors ) ( b ax + and irreducible
quadratic factors (quadratic factors that have no real factorization) ) (

Express the proper rational function

6-5 Integration Using tables and Computer Algebra Systems (CAS)

Using Table of Integrals

An extensive tables of indefinite and definite integrals are published in standarad reference
books such as Standard Mathematical tables and Formula edited by William H. Beyer and
Table of integrals, Series and Products compile by Gradshteyn and Ryzhik.

To use the table you must first rewrite the integral using substitution or algebraic manipulation to
transform the given integral into one of the forms in the table.


Using a Computer Algebra Systems: (CAS)

Some calculators like TI-89 and HP-48 and systems such as Mathematica , Maple, and Derive
which can run on any personal computer, have integral formulas stored internally and can
perform substitution that transform a given integral into that occurs in its stored formulas.

Although CAS can match patterns with tables of integrals stored in computer memory, the
hand manual calculation should be learned because it may yield a simpler answer than a
computer result and to catch sometimes the incorrect results.

introduce the concepts of the definite integral to the following cases:

1- where ) (x f has an infinite discontinuity in ] , [ b a .
