Integration: The Integration Formula

The Integration Formula

The expression to be integrated is the derivative of some function eg f(x) called the
integrand.

When this expression is integrated the original function is restored plus a constant (C)
called the constant of integration.

This is called the indefinite integral when the integration is not between two limiting
values of x.

However when the integration is between two limiting values of x then the integral is
called the definite integral and the constant of integration is not involved.

For any variable 'x' to the power of 'n' the integral is given by:

In other words, increase the power of x by '1' and divide x by the new index.

Rule #1

Any constant(eg C) multiplied by a function f(x) can be integrated by placing the constant
before the integration sign.

Rule #2

The integral of two separate functions which are added together is the same as each
function integrated separately then added together.

Example

Rule #3

The addition of a constant to a variable doesn't change the form of the integral. However,
x must be in the first degree ie no higher powers of x are involved. ('a' is a constant)

Rule #4

If 'a' & 'b' are constants then x can be replaced by 'bx+a' with the integral remaining in
the same form.
