If $f$ & $g$ are functions of $x$ such that $g^{\prime}(x)=f(x)$ then,

$\int f(x) dx = g(x) + c \Leftrightarrow \frac{d}{dx}{g(x) + c} = f(x)$

where $c$ is called the constant of integration.

Standard Formula:

  • $\int(a x+b)^{n} d x=\frac{(a x+b)^{n+1}}{a(n+1)}+c, n \neq-1$

  • $\int \frac{\mathrm{dx}}{\mathrm{ax}+\mathrm{b}}=\frac{1}{\mathrm{a}} \operatorname{\ell n}(\mathrm{ax}+\mathrm{b})+\mathrm{c}$

  • $\int e^{a x+b} d x=\frac{1}{a} e^{a x+b}+c$

  • $\int \mathrm{a}^{\mathrm{px+q}} \mathrm{dx}=\frac{1}{\mathrm{p}} \frac{\mathrm{a}^{\mathrm{px}+\mathrm{q}}}{\ln \mathrm{a}}+\mathrm{c} ; a>0$

  • $\int \sin (a x+b) d x=-\frac{1}{a} \cos (a x+b)+c$

  • $\int \cos (a x+b) d x=\frac{1}{a} \sin (a x+b)+c$

  • $\quad \int \tan (a x+b) d x=\frac{1}{a} \ln \sec (a x+b)+c$

  • $\int \cot (a x+b) d x=\frac{1}{a} \ln \sin (a x+b)+c$

  • $\int \sec ^{2}(a x+b) d x=\frac{1}{a} \tan (a x+b)+c$

  • $\int \operatorname{cosec}^{2}(a x+b) d x=-\frac{1}{a} \cot (a x+b)+c$

  • $\int \sec x d x=\ell n (\sec x+\tan x)+c$

Or

$ \ell n \tan \left(\frac{\pi}{4}+\frac{x}{2}\right)+c$

  • $\int \operatorname{cosec} x d x=\ell n(\operatorname{cosec} x-\cot x)+c$

  • $\quad \int \frac{d x}{\sqrt{a^{2}-x^{2}}}=\sin ^{-1} \frac{x}{a}+c$

  • $\int \frac{\mathrm{dx}}{\mathrm{a}^{2}+\mathrm{x}^{2}}=\frac{1}{\mathrm{a}} \tan ^{-1} \frac{\mathrm{x}}{\mathrm{a}}+\mathrm{c}$

  • $\int \frac{d x}{|x| \sqrt{x^{2}-a^{2}}}=\frac{1}{a} \sec ^{-1} \frac{x}{a}+c$

  • $\int \frac{\mathrm{dx}}{\sqrt{\mathrm{x}^{2}+\mathrm{a}^{2}}}=\operatorname{\ell n}\left[\mathrm{x}+\sqrt{\mathrm{x}^{2}+\mathrm{a}^{2}}\right]+\mathrm{c}$

  • $\int \frac{\mathrm{dx}}{\sqrt{\mathrm{x}^{2}-\mathrm{a}^{2}}}=\ell \mathrm{n}\left[\mathrm{x}+\sqrt{\mathrm{x}^{2}-\mathrm{a}^{2}}\right]+\mathrm{c}$

  • $\quad \int \frac{\mathrm{dx}}{\mathrm{a}^{2}-\mathrm{x}^{2}}=\frac{1}{2 \mathrm{a}} \operatorname{\ell n}\left|\frac{\mathrm{a}+\mathrm{x}}{\mathrm{a}-\mathrm{x}}\right|+\mathrm{c}$

  • $\int \frac{\mathrm{dx}}{\mathrm{x}^{2}-\mathrm{a}^{2}}=\frac{1}{2 \mathrm{a}} \ell \mathrm{n}\left|\frac{\mathrm{x}-\mathrm{a}}{\mathrm{x}+\mathrm{a}}\right|+\mathrm{c}$

  • $\int \sqrt{a^{2}-x^{2}} d x=\frac{x}{2} \sqrt{a^{2}-x^{2}}+\frac{a^{2}}{2} \sin ^{-1} \frac{x}{a}+c$

  • $\int \sqrt{\mathrm{x}^{2}+\mathrm{a}^{2}} \mathrm{dx}=\frac{\mathrm{x}}{2} \sqrt{\mathrm{x}^{2}+\mathrm{a}^{2}}+\frac{\mathrm{a}^{2}}{2} \ln (\mathrm{x}+\sqrt{\mathrm{x}^{2}+\mathrm{a}^{2}})+\mathrm{c}$

  • $\int \sqrt{\mathrm{x}^{2}-\mathrm{a}^{2}} \mathrm{dx}=\frac{\mathrm{x}}{2} \sqrt{\mathrm{x}^{2}-\mathrm{a}^{2}}-\frac{\mathrm{a}^{2}}{2} \ln (\mathrm{x}+\sqrt{\mathrm{x}^{2}-\mathrm{a}^{2}})+\mathrm{c}$

Integration of type $\int \sin m x \cdot \cos n x d x$ :

$\quad$ Case 1. If $m$ and $n$ are even natural numbers then express $\sin m x \cos n x$ in the terms of sines and cosines of multiples of $x$ by using trigonometric results or De’ Moivere’s theorem.

$\quad$ Case 2.

  • If $m$ is an odd natural number then put $\cos x=t$.
  • If $\mathrm{n}$ is an odd natural number then put $\sin \mathrm{x}=\mathrm{t}$.
  • If both $\mathrm{m}$ and $\mathrm{n}$ are odd natural numbers then put either $\sin \mathrm{x}=\mathrm{t}$ or $\cos \mathrm{x}=\mathrm{t}$.

$\quad$ Case 3. When $m+n$ is a negative even integer then put tan $x=t$.
