Techniques of Integration
6.1 Integration by Parts
Every differentiation rule has a corresponding integration rule. For instance, the Substi-tution Rule for integration corresponds to the Chain Rule for differentiation. The rulethat corresponds to the Product Rule for differentiation is called the rule for integrationby parts .
The Product Rule state that if f and g are differentiable functions, then
d
dx
[
f(x)g(x)]
= f(x)g′(x) + g(x)f ′(x)
In the notation for indefinite integrals this equation becomes
∫
[
f(x)g′(x) + g(x)f ′(x)]
dx = f(x)g(x)
or∫
f(x)g′(x) dx+
∫
g(x)f ′(x) dx = f(x)g(x)
We can rearrange this equation as
∫
f(x)g′(x) dx = f(x)g(x)−∫
g(x)f ′(x) dx
This formula is called the formula for integration by parts.
Let u = f(x) and v = g(x). Then the differential are du = f ′(x)dx and dv = g′(x)dx,so, by the Substitution Rule, the formula for integration by parts becomes
∫
u dv = uv −∫
v du

Find

Example 6.1.
Solution
Note. Our aim in using integration by parts is to obtain a simpler integral than theone we start with. Thus, in Example 6.1 we start with
∫
x cos x dx and expressed it interms of the simpler integral
∫
sin xdx. If we had chosen u = cosx and dv = xdx, thendu = − sin xdx and v = x2/2, so integration by parts gives
∫
x cos x dx = (cosx)x2

∫
x2 sin x dx
Although this is true,∫
x2 sin x dx is a more difficult integral than the one we startedwith.
In general, when deciding on a choice for u and dv, we usually try to choose u =f(x) to be a function that becomes simpler when differentiated (or at least not morecomplicated) as long as dv = g′(x)dx can be readily integrated to give v.

6.2 Trigonometric Integrals
In this section we use trigonometric identities to integrate certain combinations of trigono-metric functions. Our first aim is to evaluate integrals of the form
∫
sinm x cosn x dx,
where m and n are positive integers.
MA111: Prepared by Asst.Prof.Dr. Archara Pacheenburawana 160
Case I: m or n Is an Odd Positive Integer
If m is odd, first isolate one factor of sin x. (You’ll need this for du). Then, replace anyfactors of sin2 x with 1− cos2 x and make the substitution u = cosx.
Likewise, if n is odd, first isolate one factor of cosx. (You’ll need this for du). Then,replace any factors of cos2 x with 1− sin2 x and make the substitution u = sin x.

Our next aim is to devise a strategy for evaluating integrals of the form
∫

where m and n are integers.
Case I: m Is an Odd Positive Integer
First, isolate one factor of sec x tan x. (You’ll need this for du). Then, replace any factorsof tan2 x with sec2 x− 1 and make the substitution u = sec x.

Find
∫
tan6 x sec4 x dx.
Example 6.12.

For other cases, the guidelines are not as clear-cut. We may need to use identities,integration by part, and occasionally a little ingenuity.

Integrals of the form

the identity1 + cot2 x = csc2 x.

6.3 Trigonometric Substitutions
If an integral contains a term of the form√a2 − x2,
√a2 + x2 or
√x2 − a2, for some
a > 0, you can often evaluate the integral by making a substitution involving a trigfunction.
First, suppose that an integrand contains a term of the form√a2 − x2, for some
a > 0. If we let x = a sin θ, where −π2≤ θ ≤ π
2, then we can eliminate the square root,
as follows.
Notice that we now have
√a2 − x2 =
√
a2 − (a sin θ)2 =√
a2 − a2 sin2 θ
=√
a2(1− sin2 θ) =√a2 cos2 θ = a cos θ
since for −π2≤ θ ≤ π
2, cos θ > 0.
Evaluate
∫

√4− x2

Example 6.17.
Solution
MA111: Prepared by Asst.Prof.Dr. Archara Pacheenburawana 168
Next, suppose that an integrand contains a term of the form√a2 + x2, for some
a > 0. If we let x = a tan θ, where −π2< θ < π
2, then we can eliminate the square root,
as follows.
Notice that in this case, we have
√a2 + x2 =
√
a2 + (a tan θ)2 =√
a2 + a2 tan2 θ
= a√
1 + tan2 θ = a√sec2 θ = a sec θ
since for −π2< θ < π
2, sec θ > 0.
Evaluate the integral
∫
1√9 + x2
dx.
Example 6.18.
Solution
MA111: Prepared by Asst.Prof.Dr. Archara Pacheenburawana 169
Finally, suppose that an integrand contains a term of the form√x2 − a2, for some
a > 0. If we let x = a sec θ, where θ ∈[
0, π2
)
∪[
π, 3π2
)
, then we can eliminate the squareroot, as follows.
Notice that in this case, we have
√x2 − a2 =
√
(a sec θ)2 − a2 =√a2 sec2 θ − a2
= a√sec2 θ − 1 = a
√tan2 θ = a tan θ
since for θ ∈[
0, π2
)
∪[
π, 3π2
)
, tan θ ≥ 0.

6.4 Integrating Rational Functions by Partial Frac-
tions
In this section we show how to integrate any rational function by expressing it as a sumof simpler fractions, called partial fractions.
Observe that
3
x+ 2− 2
x− 5=
3(x− 5)− 2(x+ 2)
(x+ 2)(x− 5)=
x− 19
x2 − 3x− 10.
To integrate the function on the right side of this equation, we have
∫
x− 19
x2 − 3x− 10dx =
∫(
3
x+ 2− 2
x− 5
)
dx
= 3 ln |x+ 2| − 2 ln |x− 5|+ C
To see how the method of partial fractions work in general, let’s consider a rationalfunction
f(x) =P (x)
Q(x)(6.1)
where P and Q are polynomial. It’s possible to express f as a sum of simpler fractionsprovided the degree of P
(
deg(P ))
is less than the degree of Q(
deg(Q))
. Such a rationalfunction is called proper.
If f is improper, that is, deg(P ) ≥ deg(Q), then we must take the preliminary stepof dividing Q into P (by long division) until the remainder R(x) is obtained such thatdeg(R) < deg(Q).
The division statement is
f(x) =P (x)
Q(x)= S(x) +
R(x)
Q(x)
where S and R are also polynomial.
Find

x3 − 4x2 + 5x− 2
x− 3dx.
Example 6.21.
Solution
MA111: Prepared by Asst.Prof.Dr. Archara Pacheenburawana 173
The next step is to factor the denominator Q(x) as far as possible. And the thirdstep is to express the proper rational function R(x)/Q(x) as a sum of partial factionsof the form
A
(ax+ b)ior
Ax+B
(ax2 + bx+ c)j
CASE I: The denominator Q(x) is a product of distinct linear factors.
This means that we can write
Q(x) = (a1x+ b1)(a2x+ b2) · · · (anx+ bn)
where no factor is repeated.
In this case the partial fraction theorem states that there exist constants A1, A2, . . .,Ak such that
R(x)
Q(x)=
R(x)
(a1x+ b1)(a2x+ b2) · · · (akx+ bk)
=A1
a1x+ b1+
A2
a2x+ b2+ · · ·+ Ak

These constant can be determined as in the following example.

2x2 + 5x− 1

Example 6.23.
Solution
CASE II: Q(x) is a product of distinct linear factors, some of which are
repeated.
Suppose the first linear factor (a1x+ b1) is repeated r times; that is, (a1x+ b1)r occurs
in the factorization of Q(x). Then instead of the single term A1/(a1x+ b1) in Equation(6.2), we would use
A11
a1x+ b1+
A12
(a1x+ b1)2+ · · ·+ A1r
(a1x+ b1)r. (6.3)

Example 6.24.
Solution
CASE III: Q(x) contains irreducible quadratic factors, none of which is re-
peated.
If Q(x) has the factor ax2 + bx+ c, where b2 − 4ac < 0, then, in addition to the partialfractions in Equations (6.2) and (6.3), the expression for R(x)/Q(x) will have a term ofthe form
Ax+B
ax2 + bx+ c(6.4)
where A and B are constants to be determined.
MA111: Prepared by Asst.Prof.Dr. Archara Pacheenburawana 176
For instance, the fraction given by
f(x) =x
(x+ 2)(x2 + 1)(x2 + 2)
has a partial fraction decomposition of the form
x
(x+ 2)(x2 + 1)(x2 + 2)=
A
x+ 2+
Bx+ C
x2 + 1+

6.5 Improper Integrals
In defining a definite integral
∫ b
a
f(x) dx we dealt with a function f defined on a finite
interval [a, b] and we assumed that f does not have an infinite discontinuity.
In this section we extend the concept of the definite integral to the case where theinterval is infinite and also to the case where f has an infinite discontinuity in [a, b].
In either case the integral is called an improper integral.
Type I: Infinite Intervals
(a) If
∫ t
a
f(x) dx exists for every number t ≥ a, then
∫ ∞
a
f(x) dx = limt→∞
∫ t
a
f(x) dx
provided this limit exists (as a finite number).
(b) If
∫ b
t
f(x) dx exists for every number t ≤ b, then
∫ b
−∞f(x) dx = lim
t→−∞
∫ b
t
f(x) dx
provided this limit exists (as a finite number).
The improper integrals
∫ t
a
f(x) dx and
∫ b
t
f(x) dx are called convergent if the
corresponding limit exists and divergent if the limit does not exist.
(c) If both
∫ ∞
a
f(x) dx and
∫ a
−∞f(x) dx are convergent, then we define
∫ ∞
−∞f(x) dx =
∫ a
−∞f(x) dx+
∫ ∞
a
f(x) dx
In part (c) any real number a can be used.

Type II: Discontinuous Integrands
(a) If f continuous on [a, b) and is discontinuous at b, then
∫ b
a
f(x) dx = limt→b−
∫ t
a
f(x) dx
if this limit exists (as a finite number).
(b) If f continuous on (a, b] and is discontinuous at a, then
∫ b
a
f(x) dx = limt→a+
∫ b
t
f(x) dx
if this limit exists (as a finite number).
The improper integrals
∫ b
a
f(x) dx is called convergent if the corresponding
limit exists and divergent if the limit does not exist.
(c) If f has a discontinuity at c, where a < c < b, and both
∫ c
a
f(x) dx and∫ b
c
f(x) dx are convergent, then we define
∫ b
