where C is any arbitrary constant. The connection between antiderivatives and the definite
integral stated in the Fundamental Theorem now explains this notation:
When finding the indefinite integral of a function ƒ, remember that it always includes an
arbitrary constant C.
We must distinguish carefully between definite and indefinite integrals. A definite
b
integral 1a ƒ(x) dx is a number. An indefinite integral 1 ƒ(x) dx is a function plus an arbi-
trary constant C.
So far, we have only been able to find antiderivatives of functions that are clearly rec-
ognizable as derivatives. In this section we begin to develop more general techniques for
finding antiderivatives of functions we can’t easily recognize as a derivative.

The use of the variable u in the Substitution Rule is traditional (sometimes it is referred
to as u-substitution), but any letter can be used, such as y, t, u and so forth. The rule pro-
vides a method for evaluating an integral of the form 1 ƒ(g(x))g′(x) dx given that the condi-
tions of Theorem 6 are satisfied. The primary challenge is deciding what expression involv-
ing x you want to substitute for in the integrand. Our examples to follow give helpful ideas.

It may happen that an extra factor of x appears in the integrand when we try a substi-
tution u = g(x). In that case, it may be possible to solve the equation u = g(x) for x in
terms of u. Replacing the extra factor of x with that expression may then allow for an inte-
gral we can evaluate. Here’s an example of this situation.

Techniques of
Integration
OVERVIEW The Fundamental Theorem tells us how to evaluate a definite integral once
we have an antiderivative for the integrand function. However, finding antiderivatives (or
indefinite integrals) is not as straightforward as finding derivatives. We need to develop
some techniques to help us. Nevertheless, we note that it is not always possible to find an
antiderivative expressed in terms of elementary functions.
In this chapter we study a number of important techniques which apply to finding
integrals for specialized classes of functions such as trigonometric functions, products of
certain functions, and rational functions. Since we cannot always find an antiderivative,
we also develop some numerical methods for calculating definite integrals. Finally, we
extend the idea of the definite integral to improper integrals, and we apply them to finding
probabilities.
Solution We rewrite the integral and apply the Substitution Rule for Definite Integrals
presented in Section 5.6, to find

In Section 5.5 we found the indefinite integral of the secant function by multiplying it
by a fractional form identically equal to one, and then integrating the equivalent result. We
can use that same procedure in other instances as well, which we illustrate next.

EXAMPLE 5 Evaluate
3x2 - 7x
dx.
L 3x + 2
x - 3
Solution The integrand is an improper fraction since the degree of the numerator is
3x + 2) 3x2 - 7x greater than the degree of the denominator. To integrate it, we perform long division to
3x2 + 2x obtain a quotient plus a remainder that is a proper fraction:

= x - 3 + .

3x2 - 7x 6 x2
L 3x + 2 L 3x + 2 2
Reducing an improper fraction by long division (Example 5) does not always lead to
an expression we can integrate directly. We see what to do about that in Section 8.5.
EXAMPLE 6 Evaluate
3x + 2
dx.
L 21 - x2
Solution We first separate the integrand to get
3x + 2 x dx dx
dx = 3 + 2 .
L 21 - x2 L 21 - x2 L 21 - x2
In the first of these new integrals, we substitute
1
u = 1 - x2, du = -2x dx, so x dx = - du.
2
Then we obtain
x dx (-1>2) du 3
3 = 3 = - u - 1>2 du

2 1>2
The second of the new integrals is a standard form,
dx
2 = 2 sin - 1 x + C2. Table 8.1, Formula 18
L 21 - x2
Combining these results and renaming C1 + C2 as C gives
3x + 2
dx = -3 21 - x2 + 2 sin - 1 x + C.
L 21 - x2
The question of what to substitute for in an integrand is not always quite so clear.
Sometimes we simply proceed by trial-and-error, and if nothing works out, we then try
another method altogether. The next several sections of the text present some of these new
methods, but substitution works in the next example.
EXAMPLE 7 Evaluate
dx
L 1 1 + 2x 23
.
Solution We might try substituting for the term 2x, but we quickly realize the deriva-
tive factor 1> 2x is missing from the integrand, so this substitution will not help. The
other possibility is to substitute for 1 1 + 2x 2, and it turns out this works:
1
dx 2(u - 1) du u = 1 + 2x, du = dx;
L 1 1 + 2x 2
= 2 2x
