  1. A rational function is a fraction with polynomials in the numerator and denominator. For example, x3 1 x2 + 1. , , , x2 + x − 6 (x − 3)2 x2 − 1. are all rational functions of x. There is a general technique called “partial fractions” that, in principle, allows us to integrate any rational function.

  2. Aug 19, 2024 · We have already discussed some basic integration formulas and the method of integration by substitution. In this chapter, we study some additional techniques, including some ways of approximating definite integrals when normal techniques do not work.

  3. The problem of computing volumes has been tackled early in mathematics: Archimedes (287-212 BC) developed an integration method which allowed him to find areas, volumes and sur-face areas in many cases without calculus. His method of exhaustion is close to the numerical method of integration by Riemann sum. In our terminology, Archimedes used the

  5. A Review: The basic integration formulas summarise the forms of indefinite integrals for may of the functions we have studied so far, and the substitution method helps us use the table below to evaluate more complicated functions involving these basic ones.

  6. We introduce the technique through some simple examples for which a linear substitution is appropriate. Example Suppose we want to find the integral Z (x+4)5 dx (1) You will be familiar already with finding a similar integral Z u5 du and know that this integral is equal to u6 6 +c, where c is a constant of integration. This is because you ...

  7. One of the most powerful techniques is integration by substitution. With this technique, you choose part of the integrand to be u and then rewrite the entire integral in terms of u. The basic steps for integration by substitution are outlined in the guidelines below. SECTION 6.1 Integration by Substitution 389 EXAMPLE 1 Integration by Substitution
