L’HOSPITAL’S RULE
ƒ(x)
If you are asked to take the limit of a rational function lim , where ƒ(x) and g(x) are
x a g (x)

0 ƒ(x) ƒ (x)
differentiable, but the limit comes to 0 or , then lim lim , assuming the

second limit exists and g′(x) ≠ 0.

INTEGRATION BY PARTS

Integration by parts is a way of using the Product Rule in reverse. The formula for
integration by parts is:
u dv u v v du

Wikipedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Integration_by_parts) suggests the following

order for choosing which part of the integral to integrate and which to differentiate:

u
Logarithmic functions
Inverse trigonometric functions
Algebraic functions (such as x²)
Trigonometric functions
Exponential functions
dv

Choose the part that is higher on the list for u, and the part that is lower for dv. This is a
rule of thumb — it is a suggestion for what is best, but it doesn’t always work perfectly.

AREA UNDER A CURVE

The area between a curve ƒ(x) and the x-axis from x = m to x = n is:
n
A ƒ( x ) dx
m
If a curve goes below the x-axis, the area in that section is subtracted from the total
area.

It is possible to split integrals so that “negative area” is interpreted as positive. If, on the
interval [m, n] containing p, ƒ(x) > 0 over [m, p) and ƒ(x) < 0 over (p, n], then
p n
A ƒ( x ) dx ƒ( x ) dx
m p

VOLUME OF A SOLID OF REVOLUTION

If the region under the graph of ƒ(x), from x = m to x = n is rotated around the y-axis,
then the volume swept out by the curve is:
n
V 2πx ƒ( x ) dx
m
If the curve is rotated around the x-axis instead, the volume is:
n n
V A( x ) dx π [ ƒ(x)] 2 dx
m m
