Study Notes

Basic Integration

Definition: Integration is the process of finding the integral of a function, which represents the area under the curve of that function.
Indefinite Integrals:
- Represents a family of functions.
- General form: ∫f(x)dx = F(x) + C, where F(x) is the antiderivative and C is the constant of integration.
Fundamental Theorem of Calculus:
- Connects differentiation and integration.
- If F is an antiderivative of f, then ∫[a to b] f(x)dx = F(b) - F(a).
Common Integrals:
- ∫x^n dx = (x^(n+1))/(n+1) + C, for n ≠ -1
- ∫e^x dx = e^x + C

Basic Polynomial Integration

Integration is the process of finding the integral of a function, which calculates the area under the curve of that function
The basic rule for integrating a polynomial term ( ax^n ) is given by the formula: (\int ax^n ,dx = \frac{a}{n+1}x^{n+1} + C ) where ( n \neq -1 )
The integral of a constant term ( a ) is given by the formula: (\int a ,dx = ax + C )
The sum rule states that the integral of a sum of functions is equal to the sum of the integrals of those functions: (\int (f(x) + g(x)) ,dx = \int f(x) ,dx + \int g(x) ,dx )
The example provided finds the integral of the polynomial ( (2x^3 + 3x^2 - 4) ) using the basic rule and the sum rule, resulting in ( \frac{1}{2}x^4 + x^3 - 4x + C )

Exponential Integration

Exponential integration deals with functions of the form ( e^{kx} )
The basic rule for integrating ( e^{kx} ) is given by the formula: (\int e^{kx} ,dx = \frac{1}{k}e^{kx} + C ) where ( k ) is a constant
The example integrates ( e^{2x} ) using this rule, resulting in ( \frac{1}{2}e^{2x} + C )
The general exponential rule for integrating ( ae^{kx} ) is given by the formula: (\int ae^{kx} ,dx = \frac{a}{k}e^{kx} + C )

Summary of Integration Techniques

Polynomial integration relies on the power rule applied to individual terms of the polynomial
Exponential integration utilizes the properties of the exponential function to find the integral
It is crucial to remember to add ( C ), the constant of integration, after integrating any function
