    Study Notes

    Indefinite Integrals

    • Anti-derivative: A function 𝐹(𝑥) such that 𝐹′(𝑥) = 𝑓(𝑥)
    • Indefinite Integral: The most general anti-derivative of a function 𝑓(𝑥), denoted as ∫𝑓(𝑥)𝑑𝑥 = 𝐹(𝑥) + 𝑐, where 𝑐 is the constant of integration.
    • Integral Symbol: ∫
    • Integrand: 𝑓(𝑥)
    • Integration Variable: 𝑥
    • Constant of Integration: 𝑐
    • Integration/Integrating: The process of finding the indefinite integral.
    • Integration with respect to x: Specifies the variable being integrated.
    • Important Note: The 𝑑𝑥 is crucial; it defines the variable being integrated, and indicates where the integrand ends. Dropping it leads to incorrect integration.

    Properties of Indefinite Integrals

    • Constant Multiple Rule: ∫𝑘𝑓(𝑥)𝑑𝑥 = 𝑘∫𝑓(𝑥)𝑑𝑥

    • Negative Function Rule: ∫−𝑓(𝑥)𝑑𝑥 = −∫𝑓(𝑥)𝑑𝑥

    • Sum/Difference Rule: ∫(𝑓(𝑥) ± 𝑔(𝑥))𝑑𝑥 = ∫𝑓(𝑥)𝑑𝑥 ± ∫𝑔(𝑥)𝑑𝑥

    • Important Note: Integrals of products and quotients do not follow the same pattern as derivatives (no product or quotient rules).

    Basic Integrals

    • Power Rule: ∫𝑥ⁿ𝑑𝑥 = (𝑥ⁿ⁺¹)/(𝑛 + 1) + 𝑐, (𝑛 ≠ −1)
    • Constant Rule: ∫𝑘𝑑𝑥 = 𝑘𝑥 + 𝑐
    • Trigonometric Functions:
      • ∫sin𝑥𝑑𝑥 = −cos𝑥 + 𝑐
      • ∫cos𝑥𝑑𝑥 = sin𝑥 + 𝑐
      • ∫sec²𝑥𝑑𝑥 = tan𝑥 + 𝑐
      • ∫sec𝑥tan𝑥𝑑𝑥 = sec𝑥 + 𝑐
      • ∫csc²𝑥𝑑𝑥 = −cot𝑥 + 𝑐
      • ∫csc𝑥cot𝑥𝑑𝑥 = −csc𝑥 + 𝑐
    • Exponential Functions:
      • ∫𝑒ˣ𝑑𝑥 = 𝑒ˣ + 𝑐
      • ∫𝑎ˣ𝑑𝑥 = (𝑎ˣ)/ln𝑎 + 𝑐
      • ∫𝑥⁻¹𝑑𝑥 = ln|𝑥| + 𝑐
    • Inverse Trigonometric Functions:
      • ∫1/(𝑥² + 1)𝑑𝑥 = tan⁻¹𝑥 + 𝑐
      • ∫1/√(1 − 𝑥²)𝑑𝑥 = sin⁻¹𝑥 + 𝑐 (or −cos⁻¹𝑥 + 𝑐)
    • Hyperbolic Functions:
      • Similar integrals for sinh𝑥, cosh𝑥, sech², etc

    Example Problems

    • Demonstrates the application of indefinite integral properties and rules.
    • Shows how to solve different types of integrals including powers, trigonometric functions, exponential functions.

    Area Problem (Definite Integrals Introduction)

    • Goal: To find the area between a function 𝑓(𝑥) and the 𝑥-axis over an interval [𝑎, 𝑏].
    • Estimating Area:
      • Divide the interval [𝑎, 𝑏] into 𝑛 subintervals of width Δ𝑥 = (𝑏 − 𝑎)/𝑛.
      • Approximate the area of each subinterval using rectangles with heights determined by function values at specific points (e.g., right endpoint of each interval).
      • Sum the areas of the rectangles to estimate the total area.
