19-Indefinite Integral-01 - Theory
Integration is the inverse process of differentiation. The process of finding f(x), when its derivative
f ( x ) is given is known as integration.
1. INTEGRALS ANTI–DERIVATIVE
If f(x) is a differentiable function such that f ( x ) = g(x), then integration of g(x) w.r.t. x is f(x) + c.
Symbolically it is written as g ( x )dx f ( x ) c , here c is known as constant of integration and it
d
can take any real value. For example (tan x ) sec 2 x , so sec 2 x dx tan x c .

Theorem 1 :
Two integrals of the same function can differ only by a constant.
Proof :
Let f1(x) and f2(x) be two integrals of g(x). Then by definition f1( x ) g (x ) and f 2 ( x ) g( x ) for
all possible value of x.
f1( x ) f 2 (x ) x
Let h(x) = f1(x) – f2(x)
h( x ) 0 x
Now consider the interval [a, b] (a < b) then by Lagrange’s Mean value’s theorem, there exists
h ( b ) h (a )
some c (a , b) such that h(c)
ba
Since h(x) 0 x so h(c) 0
h(b) = h(a) h(x) is a constant function
Let h(x) = c
f1(x) – f2(x) = c
Hence two integral of the same function can differ only by a constant.
Theorem 2 :
(i) (af (x ) bg( x )dx = a (f ( x )dx b g ( x )dx , where a and b are constants.

(ii) f ( x )dx g( x ) c , then f (ax b)dx a
g (ax b) c , where a and b are constants
and a 0 .

3. INTEGRATION BY SUBSTITUTION
It is not always possible to find the integral of a complicated function only by observation, so we
need some methods of integration and integration by substitution is one of them. This methods has
3 parts :
(i) Direct substitution (ii) Standard substitution
(iii) Indirect substitution
If f ( x )dx g ( x ) c , then in I = f ( h ( x )) h ( x ) dx ,
So I = f ( t ) dt g ( t ) c g ( h ( x )) c
Illustration 3 :
Evaluate: cot x dx .
Solution:
cos x dx
I= cot x dx = sin x
Put sin x = t cos x dx = dt

So I= t

3.2 STANDARD SUBSTITUTION
In some standard integrand or a part of it, we have standard substitution. List of standard substitution
is as follows :

3.3 INDIRECT SUBSTITUTION
If integrand f(x) can be rewritten as product of two functions. f(x) = f1(x) f2(x), where f2(x) is a
function of integral of f1(x), then put integral of f1(x) = t.

Put sin x + cos x = 1 = (cos x – sin x )dx = dt

4. INTEGRATION BY PARTS
If integrand can be expressed as product of two functions, then we use the following formula.
f (x)
1 f 2 (x)dx f1 (x) f 2 (x) f1(x)( f 2 (x)dx)dx , where f1(x) and f2(x) are known as first
and second function respectively.
Remarks :
(i) We do not put constant of integration in 1st integral, we put this only once in the end.
(ii) Order of f1(x) and f2(x) is normally decided by the rule ILATE, where I Inverse,
L Logarithms, A Algebraic, T Trigonometric and E Exponential.

Here A1, A2,........., A 1 ............, B1, B2............ B1 ...........C1, C2......... C1 ...........are the real
constants and these can be calculated by reducing both sides of the above equation as identity in
polynomial form and then by comparing the coefficients of like powers. The constants can also be
obtained by putting some suitable numerical values of x in both sides of the identity.
If degree of f(x) is more than or equal to degree of g(x), then divide f(x) by g(x) so that the
remainder has degree less than of g(x).

5 2/5
Put cot x = t cosec2 x = – dt. So I = t 3 / 5 dt = (cot x ) c

Illustration 33:
If In = tann x dx, then prove that (n – 1) (In + In–2) = tann–1 x.
Solution:
Here In = tan
n
x dx tan n 2 x tan 2 x dx
tan n 1 x
In I n 2
n 1
Hence (n – 1) (In + In–2) = tann–1x .
