INTEGRATION CONCEPTS/FORMULAS

In this chapter, we shall start our study of the inverse of differentiation and its various
applications. We have learned that differentiation is the process of finding the derivative or
differential of a given function. Clearly, we expect its inverse to be the process of finding the
function whose derivative or differential is given. The inverse of differentiation is called
integration. Many of the important applications of calculus depend on this operation.

Learning Objectives:

At the end of this lesson, the student will be able to:

1. Able to understand the concept of Integral Calculus.
2. Evaluate such indefinite integrals by applying the concepts or basic formulas.

1.1 The Indefinite Integrals

From the differential calculus, we know that by differential, a derivative or differential is
obtained from a given function. Suppose the derivative of a function is given, how can the function
be found? For instance, what function has for its derivative 3𝑥 or for its differential 3𝑥 𝑑𝑥? From

our experience with differentiation, we know that (𝑥 ) = 3𝑥 𝑜𝑟 𝑑(𝑥 ) = 3𝑥 𝑑𝑥. Hence, our

answer to the question above is 𝑥 . But that is not the only possible answer. Recalling that the
derivative or differential of a constant is zero, we may also give the following functions as valid
answer:
𝑥 +4
𝑥 − 15
𝑥 + √2
Thus, we see that there is no unique answer to the question above. However, one thing quite
noticeable from the possible answers above is that, pairwise, the functions differ by a constant. In
fact, it can be proved that if two functions have the same derivative, their difference is a constant.
Thus, if we let C be any constant, then we may write 𝑥 + 𝐶 as our general answer.
The function 𝑥 + 𝐶 is called the antiderivative or the integral of 3𝑥 . The process of finding
the antiderivative is called antiderivative and integration instead of antidifferentiation. We may
define integration as the process of finding the function whose derivative or differential is given.
 INTEGRAL CALCULUS

To denote the process of integration, the symbol ⎰ is used. Since 𝑑(𝑥 + 𝐶) = 3𝑥 𝑑𝑥, then
the statement “the integral of 3𝑥 is 𝑥 + 𝐶” can be expressed symbolically as

3𝑥 𝑑𝑥 = 𝑥 + 𝐶

Since C has no known value, the expression ∫ 3𝑥 𝑑𝑥 is called an indefinite integral. In general, the
indefinite integral of a function 𝑓(𝑥) is denoted by ∫ 𝑓(𝑥) 𝑑𝑥 and defined symbolically as follows:

𝒇(𝒙) 𝒅𝒙 = 𝑭(𝒙) + 𝑪 𝒊𝒇 𝒅𝑭(𝒙) = 𝒇(𝒙)𝒅𝒙

We call the symbol ⎰ the integral sign, 𝑓(𝑥) the integrand, C, the constant of integration and
𝐹(𝑥) + 𝐶 the value of the indefinite integral ⎰ 𝑓(𝑥)𝑑𝑥. The differential dx indicates that x is the
variable of integration.

As symbols of operation, d and ⎰ are inverse to each other. Let us see what happens if d
precedes ⎰ or when it follows ⎰. Suppose 𝑓(𝑥) and 𝐹(𝑥) are functions whose relationship is given
by
𝑑𝐹(𝑥) = 𝑓(𝑥)𝑑𝑥
Integrating both sides

𝐹(𝑥) 𝑑𝑥 = 𝑓(𝑥) 𝑑𝑥

𝐹(𝑥) 𝑑𝑥 = 𝐹(𝑥) + 𝐶

The result above tells us that integrating the differential of a function gives that function plus an
arbitrary constant.

BASIC INTEGRATION FORMULA We wish to make the following important remarks in

using these formulas:
I.1. ∫ 𝒅𝒖 = 𝒖 + 𝑪

PROOF of I.1: Differentiating the right member of I.1,

𝑑(𝑢 + 𝐶) = 𝑑𝑢 + 0 = 𝑑𝑢 This completes the proof. In fact, if we
replace F(x) by u from the formula
∫ 𝐹(𝑥) 𝑑𝑥 = ∫ 𝑓(𝑥) 𝑑𝑥, we get I.1.
PROOF of I.2: We must show that the differential of the right member is (u + v) dx. Hence,
differentiating the right member,
𝑑(∫ 𝑢𝑑𝑥 + ∫ 𝑣𝑑𝑥) = 𝑑 ∫ 𝑢𝑑𝑥 + 𝑑 ∫ 𝑣𝑑𝑥
= 𝑢𝑑𝑥 + 𝑣𝑑𝑥

1.2 Integration by Substitution

Some integrals can not be evaluated readily by direct application of the standard
integration formulas. The techniques for evaluating such integrals leans heavily on what is known
as the method of substitution. This method involves a change of variable, say from x to another
variable u. The purpose of substituting a new variable is to bring the problem to a form for which a
standard formula can be applied. This integration by substitution is justified by the so-called Chain
Rule for Integration which we shall briefly state below.

Let F(u) be a function whose derivative is f(u), that is, 𝐹(𝑢) = 𝑓(𝑢). If u is a

differentiable function of x, say u = h(x) then

𝑓(𝑢) 𝑑𝑢 = 𝑓[ℎ(𝑥)] ℎ′(𝑥) 𝑑𝑥

EXAMPLE 1.4: Evaluate ∫(3𝑥 + 4) 𝑑𝑥 “nf” or neutralizing factor is the

reciprocal of the number which we
Let 𝑢 = 3𝑥 + 4. Then 𝑑𝑢 = 3𝑑𝑥, and 𝑛𝑓 = . Hence, wish to introduce after the integral
sign or preceding dx. That is in the

idea, our solution can be shortened

1.6 Applications of Indefinite Integration

Indefinite integration finds applications in some geometrical and physical problems in
physics, chemistry, mathematicians and engineering. We shall illustrate these with some examples
after our discussion of some important concepts which we have to understand before solving such
problems.
An equation which involves derivatives or differentiation called a differential equation.
From the previous topics, the function F(x) and f(x) are related by the equation

dF(x)=f(x)dx

if we let y = F(x), then we have,

dy = dF(x)=f(x)dx

= f(x)

The above equations are the simplest type of differential equation where f(x) is known function
and y is an unknown function of x. If we integrate both sides of dy = f(x)dx, we have

𝑦 + 𝐶 = 𝐹(𝑥) + 𝐶
Or 𝑦 = 𝐹(𝑥) + 𝐶 − 𝐶
If we let 𝐶 = 𝐶 − 𝐶 , then it simplifies to
𝒚 = 𝑭(𝒙) + 𝑪

A more general type of differential equation is given by the form

𝑑𝑦 𝑓(𝑥)
=
𝑑𝑥 𝑔(𝑦)
where f(x) and g(y) are known functions of x and y respectively and y is an unknown function of x.
The equation above may be written in the form
𝒈(𝒚)𝒅𝒚 = 𝒇(𝒙)𝒅𝒙
 INTEGRAL CALCULUS

so that no x’s appear on one side and no y’s appear on the other side of the equation. The variables

are said to be separated. For example, the variables of the differential equation = can be

separated by writing as 3ydy = 2xdx. The later form may now be integrated. Thus

3𝑦𝑑𝑦 = 2𝑥𝑑𝑥

3𝑦
=𝑥 +𝐶
2

An equation of the form 𝑦 = 𝐹(𝑥) + 𝐶 may represent the equation of a family of curves having a
common property, say, the same slope at any point (x, y). Through a specific point 𝑃 (𝑥 , 𝑦 ), there
passes just one member of the family. The value of C for the member passing through 𝑃 can thus
be obtained by substituting the coordinates of 𝑃 in the equation of the family. This is illustrated in
the following example.

EXAMPLE 1.17: Find the equation of the family of curves whose slope at any point is 2x. Find also
the equation of the member which passes through the point (2, 1).

Solution: Since the slope at any point (x, y) is 2x, then we have
𝑑𝑦
= 2𝑥
𝑑𝑥
𝑑𝑦 = 2𝑥 𝑑𝑥
Integrating both sides

𝑑𝑦 = 2𝑥𝑑𝑥

𝑦 =𝑥 +𝐶
The equation 𝑦 = 𝑥 + 𝐶 is the equation of the family of curves with slope 2x. To
find the equation of the member through (2, 1), we substitute x = 2 and y = 1 then
solve for the value of C. Thus
𝑦 =𝑥 +𝐶
1=2 +𝐶
𝐶 = −3
Therefore, the required equation of the specific member of the family of curves is
𝒚 = 𝒙𝟐 − 𝟑
 INTEGRAL CALCULUS

From the differential calculus of rectilinear motion, we have defined the velocity v of a moving
particle as the time rate of change of the distance s and the acceleration a as the time rate of
change of the velocity v. In symbol, we write

𝒅𝒔 𝒅𝒗
𝒗= and 𝒂=
𝒅𝒕 𝒅𝒕

We have solved problems dealing with such quantities by using the process of differentiation. This
time, we shall solve such problems by use of integration.

EXAMPLE 1.18: A body is thrown vertically upward from the ground with an initial velocity 96
ft/sec. Find the maximum heigh attained by the body.
Solution: Let:
s – distance of the body from the ground
v – velocity at any time t
Note:
v > 0 since the body is directed upward
a < 0 since the body is thrown vertically upward and gravity imparts an
acceleration downward

Given: t = 0; v = 96 ft/sec; s = 0 ft.

Since that a < 0, then we start with

a = -32 ft/sq.sec
But by definition, a = dv/dt. Hence,
𝑑𝑣
= −32 𝑓𝑡/𝑠
𝑑𝑡
Or 𝑑𝑣 = −32 𝑑𝑡
Integrating, we have
𝑣 = −32𝑡 + 𝐶
But v = 96 ft/sec when t = 0. Substituting these in the equation above and solving for
C, we get
 INTEGRAL CALCULUS

96 = -32(0) + C
C = 96
Then the equation becomes,
𝑣 = −32𝑡 + 96
This equation expresses the velocity of the body at any time t. Since v = ds/dt, then
𝑑𝑠
= −32𝑡 + 96
𝑑𝑡
Or 𝑑𝑠 = −32𝑡𝑑𝑡 + 96𝑑𝑡
Integrating, we have
𝑠 = −16𝑡 + 96𝑡 + 𝐶′
Again, when t = 0, we have s = 0. Hence
0 = −16(0) + 96(0) + 𝐶′
𝐶 =0
Then the equation becomes
𝑠 = −16𝑡 + 96𝑡
Form equation above which is expresses the distance of the body from the ground at
any time t. To find the maximum height attained by the body, we must know the
time required to reach that height. Since v = 0 at the maximum height, then
𝑣 = −32𝑡 + 96
0 = −32𝑡 + 96
32𝑡 = 96
𝑡 = 3 𝑠𝑒𝑐
Then solve for the maximum height
𝑠 = −16𝑡 + 96𝑡
𝑠 = −16(3) + 96(3)
