Transcendental Functions

Functions that are not algebraic, including logarithmic, exponential, trigonometric, inverse trigonometric, and hyperbolic functions.

∫(1/u) du

The integral of 1/u with respect to u is the natural logarithm of the absolute value of u, plus a constant of integration.

∫ du / √(a² - u²)

This formula is arcsin(u/a) + C, where 'u' is a function of x, 'a' is a constant, and 'C' is the integration constant.

∫ du / (a² + u²)

This formula is (1/a) * arctan(u/a) + C, where 'u' is a function of x, 'a' is a constant, and 'C' is the integration constant.

∫ du / (u√(u² - a²))

This formula is (1/a) * arcsec(|u|/a) + C, where 'u' is a function of x, 'a' is a constant, and 'C' is the integration constant.

Study Notes

  • Transcendental functions can be integrated
  • These include:
    • Logarithmic Functions
    • Exponential Functions
    • Trigonometric Functions
    • Inverse Trigonometric Functions
    • Hyperbolic Functions

Logarithmic Functions

  • To solve ∫ (1 / (4x - 1)) dx

  • If u = 4x - 1, then du = 4 dx

  • Multiply and divide by 4 to get 1/4 ∫ (1 / (4x - 1)) 4 dx

  • Substitute to acheive 1/4 ∫ (1 / u) du, where u = 4x - 1

  • Apply Log Rule to get 1/4 ln|u| + C

  • Back-substitute 1/4 ln|4x - 1| + C

  • The area of the region bounded by the graph of y, the x-axis, and x = 3 for ∫₀³ x / (x² + 1) dx is ½ ln 10

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

  • ∫ sec x tan x / (sec x - 1) dx = ln |sec x - 1| + C

Integrals Involving Inverse Trigonometric Functions

  • Theorem 5.17 describes integrals with inverse trig functions
  • Let u be a differentiable function of x, and a > 0.
  • ∫ du / √(a² - u²) = arcsin(u/a) + C
  • ∫ du / (a² + u²) = 1/a arctan(u/a) + C
  • ∫ du / (u√(u² - a²)) = 1/a arcsec(|u|/a) + C
