Chapter 7: Integrals

7.1 Introduction

Differential Calculus focuses on derivatives, while Integral Calculus focuses on areas under curves.
Key Problems in Integral Calculus:
- Finding a function from its derivative (anti-derivatives).
- Calculating the area bounded by a function's graph.
Types of Integrals:
- Indefinite Integrals
- Definite Integrals

7.2 Integration as an Inverse Process of Differentiation

Integration is the reverse of differentiation.
Examples of anti-derivatives:
- If $f'(x) = ext{cos}(x)$ , then $f(x) = ext{sin}(x) + C$
- If $f'(x) = x^2$ , then $f(x) = \frac{x^3}{3} + C$
- If $f'(x) = e^x$ , then $f(x) = e^x + C$

7.3 Methods of Integration

Integration Techniques:
1. Integration by Substitution
2. Integration using Partial Fractions
3. Integration by Parts

7.3.1 Integration by Substitution

Change the variable to simplify the integral.

7.3.2 Integration using Trigonometric Identities

Use known identities to find integrals involving trigonometric functions.

7.4 Integrals of Some Particular Functions

Standard Integral Formulas:
1. $\int \frac{dx}{x^2 - a^2} = \frac{1}{2a} \log \left| \frac{x-a}{x+a} \right| + C$
2. $\int \frac{dx}{a^2 - x^2} = \frac{1}{2a} \log \left| \frac{a+x}{a-x} \right| + C$
3. $\int \frac{dx}{x^2 + a^2} = \frac{1}{a} \tan^{-1} \frac{x}{a} + C$

7.5 Definite Integral

Denoted by $\int_a^b f(x) \, dx$
Represents the area under the curve from $a$ to $b$ .
Value is given by $F(b) - F(a)$ if $F$ is an anti-derivative of $f$ .

7.6 Fundamental Theorem of Calculus

First Fundamental Theorem: If $f$ is continuous on $[a, b]$ , then $A'(x) = f(x)$ .

7.7 Integration by Parts

Formula: $\int u \, dv = uv - \int v \, du$

7.8 Common Integral Formulas

Basic Integrals:
- $\int e^x \, dx = e^x + C$
- $\int \, dx = x + C$
- $\int \sin x \, dx = -\cos x + C$
- $\int \cos x \, dx = \sin x + C$
