A COMPLETE GUIDE IN

CALCULUS 2
CHAPTER 1: INTEGRATION CONCEPTS AND FORMULAS
Introduction
In this chapter, the learner will explore the essential concepts of anti-differentiation and
indefinite integrals, which form the backbone of integral calculus. Understanding these
foundational ideas is crucial for tackling more complex integration problems. The chapter begins
with a review of anti-differentiation, the inverse process of differentiation, where the goal is to find
a function whose derivative matches a given function. This involves identifying a function 𝐹(𝑥)
such that 𝐹 ′ (𝑥 ) = 𝑓(𝑥), always including a constant of integration 𝐶 to account for all possible
solutions.
Next, the chapter delves into indefinite integrals, representing the family of all
antiderivatives for a function. The notation and basic properties of indefinite integrals are
introduced, providing the tools needed to solve integration problems. The reader will also learn
about specific integration techniques and formulas, such as the simple power formula, essential
for integrating expressions of the form 𝑥 𝑛 .
As the chapter progresses, it examines the integration of trigonometric functions,
highlighting common patterns and strategies for solving these integrals. It then covers the
integration of logarithmic and exponential functions, utilizing methods such as substitution and
integration by parts when necessary. The discussion also includes inverse trigonometric and
hyperbolic functions, with examples illustrating how to integrate these complex expressions.
Finally, the chapter introduces the general power formula, extending the ability to integrate
more intricate algebraic expressions. By the end of this chapter, the reader will have a
comprehensive understanding of the fundamental techniques and principles of anti-differentiation
and indefinite integrals, equipping them with the skills needed for advanced calculus applications.

1.1 Review on Anti-differentiation

Anti-differentiation, also known as indefinite integration, is the inverse process of


differentiation. It involves finding a function whose derivative is the given function. In other
words, if we have a function f(x), we seek to find a function F(x) such that F'(x) = f(x).
The process of anti-differentiation is crucial in calculus as it forms the foundation for
solving more complex integration problems. When we anti-differentiate a function, we add a
constant of integration, typically denoted as C, to account for all possible antiderivatives.

Example 1:
Consider the function f(x) = 2x. To find its antiderivative, we ask: "What function, when
differentiated, gives us 2x?" The answer is x², plus a constant. Thus, the antiderivative of 2x is x²
+ C.

2. Review on Indefinite Integrals

An indefinite integral is the set of all antiderivatives of a given function. It is represented using
the integral symbol ∫ followed by the function to be integrated and dx, which indicates the
variable of integration.

The general form of an indefinite integral is:

∫ f(x) dx = F(x) + C

Where F(x) is an antiderivative of f(x), and C is the constant of integration.

1.2 Review on Indefinite Integrals


Key Properties of Indefinite Integrals:

1. ∫ [f(x) + g(x)] dx = ∫ f(x) dx + ∫ g(x) dx


2. ∫ kf(x) dx = k∫ f(x) dx, where k is a constant

Example 2:
∫ (3x² + 2x) dx = x³ + x² + C

1.3 Simple Power Formula


The simple power formula is a fundamental integration rule that applies to functions of
the form xn, where n is any real number except -1.

The formula is:

∫ xn dx = (1 / (n+1)) xn+1 + C, for n ≠ -1


Example 3:
∫ x4 dx = (1/5) x5 + C

1.4 Simple Trigonometric Functions

Integration of basic trigonometric functions follows specific patterns. Here are some
common integrals:

1. ∫ sin(x) dx = -cos(x) + C
2. ∫ cos(x) dx = sin(x) + C
3. ∫ tan(x) dx = -ln|cos(x)| + C
4. ∫ sec(x) dx = ln|sec(x) + tan(x)| + C
5. ∫ csc(x) dx = -ln|csc(x) + cot(x)| + C
6. ∫ cot(x) dx = ln|sin(x)| + C

Example 4:
∫ sin(2x) dx = -(1/2)cos(2x) + C
