Lecture Notes on Integration

Introduction

  • Integration and Differentiation relationship
    • Differentiation: ds/dt (velocity)
    • Integration: method to obtain ds (displacement)

Need for Integration

  • When displacement is given and we need to find velocity.
  • Integration is the opposite process of differentiation.

Integration with Graphs

  • Finding the area under the graph of Y versus X.
  • Calculation of area by making thin strips:
    • Area = Y1 * dx (first strip)
    • Area = Y2 * dx (second strip)
  • Adding all strips' areas = summation (Σ) Y dx

Fundamental Formulas of Integration

  1. Integration of x^n:

    [ \int x^n , dx = \frac{x^{n+1}}{n+1} + C \quad (n \neq -1) ]

  2. Integration of 1/x:

    [ \int \frac{1}{x} , dx = \log |x| + C ]

  3. Integration of e^x:

    [ \int e^x , dx = e^x + C ]

  4. Integration of dx:

    [ \int dx = x + C ]

Rules of Integration

  • Rule: If a number is multiplied, take it out:
    • For example, [ \int k , f(x) , dx = k \int f(x) , dx ]

Methods of Integration

  • Integration by Parts:
    • [ \int u , dv = u , v - \int v , du ]

Special Integrations

  • Integration of Trigonometric Functions:
    • [ \int , sin(x) , dx = -cos(x) + C ]
    • [ \int , cos(x) , dx = sin(x) + C ]

Definite and Indefinite Integration

  • Definite Integration: Limits are set, such as:
    • [ \int_{a}^{b} f(x) , dx = F(b) - F(a) ]_

Examples

  1. Integration of sin(2x):
    • [ \int sin(2x) , dx = -\frac{1}{2} \cos(2x) + C ]
  2. Integration of e^{4x}:
    • [ \int e^{4x} , dx = \frac{1}{4} e^{4x} + C ]

Conclusion

  • Integration is an important mathematical process, used in physics and other fields.
  • It is essential to remember various forms and formulas of integration.

Study Material

  • Note down all formulas and practice regularly.
  • Solve additional examples and problems.
