Introduction to integration in Algebra

Integration is a fundamental concept in calculus


and algebra. It is the process of finding the
integral, or the total accumulation, of a
function over a given interval. The symbol for
integration is ∫ and the notation for an integral
is typically written as ∫f(x)dx, where f(x) is the
function being integrated and dx is the variable
of integration.
There are several methods for evaluating
integrals, including:
1. Substitution method: This method
involves making a substitution to simplify
the integral.
2. Integration by parts: This method
involves breaking down the integral into
two parts and using the product rule for
derivatives to simplify it.
3. Trigonometric substitution: This method
is used when the integral contains a rational
function with a square root of a quadratic
expression.
4. Partial fractions: This method is used to
decompose a rational function into a sum of
simpler functions that can be integrated
more easily.
5. Tabular integration: This method is used
to integrate a function by using the values
of the function at a set of discrete points
There are also several types of integrals,
including definite and indefinite integrals. A
definite integral has a specific interval of
integration, such as ∫0 to 2 of f(x)dx, while an
indefinite integral does not have a specific
interval, such as ∫f(x)dx.
It is important to note that integration is the
reverse process of differentiation, and the
fundamental theorem of calculus connects
both concepts by stating that if a function is
differentiable, then the integral of its derivative
is equal to the original function.
In summary, integration is a fundamental
concept in calculus and algebra that involves
finding the total accumulation of a function
over a given interval. There are several
methods and types of integrals, and it is the
reverse process of differentiation.
Some question on integration

from x = 0 to x = 2.
2. Use substitution to evaluate the integral
∫(x+2)^2 dx.
3. Solve the integral using integration by
parts: ∫x^2e^x dx.
