Examples: Common Functions Function Integral

The document provides a table summarizing common integrals and the rules for evaluating them. The table lists integrals of basic functions like constants, variables, squares, reciprocals, exponentials, logarithms, trigonometric functions, and more. It also outlines rules for evaluating integrals using multiplication by a constant, power rules, sum and difference rules, integration by parts, substitution, and more. A series of examples demonstrates how to apply the rules and look up integrals in the table to evaluate definite integrals.

Examples
Example: what is the integral of sin(x) ?

From the table above it is listed as being −cos(x) + C

It is written as:

∫sin(x) dx = −cos(x) + C
Example: what is the integral of 1/x ?

From the table above it is listed as being ln|x| + C

It is written as:

∫(1/x) dx = ln|x| + C
The vertical bars || either side of x mean absolute value, because we don't
want to give negative values to the natural logarithm function ln.

Power Rule

Example: What is ∫x3 dx ?

The question is asking "what is the integral of x3 ?"

We can use the Power Rule, where n=3:

∫x  dx = x
n
n+1 + C
n+1

∫x 3 
dx = x44 + C

Example: What is ∫√x dx ?

√x is also x0.5

We can use the Power Rule, where n=½:

∫x  dx = x
n
n+1 + C
n+1

∫x 0.5
 dx = x1.51.5 + C

Multiplication by constant

Example: What is ∫6x2 dx ?

We can move the 6 outside the integral:

∫6x  dx = 6∫x  dx


2 2

And now use the Power Rule on x2:


= 6 x33 + C

Simplify:

= 2x3 + C

Sum Rule

Example: What is ∫cos x + x dx ?

Use the Sum Rule:

∫cos x + x dx = ∫cos x dx + ∫x dx


Work out the integral of each (using table above):

= sin x + x2/2 + C

Difference Rule

Example: What is ∫ew − 3 dw ?

Use the Difference Rule:

∫e  − 3 dw =∫ew dw − ∫3 dw
w

Then work out the integral of each (using table above):

= ew − 3w + C

Sum, Difference, Constant Multiplication And Power Rules

Example: What is ∫8z + 4z3 − 6z2 dz ?

Use the Sum and Difference Rule:

∫8z + 4z  − 6z  dz =∫8z dz + ∫4z  dz − ∫6z  dz


3 2 3 2

Constant Multiplication:

= 8∫z dz + 4∫z3 dz − 6∫z2 dz

Power Rule:
= 8z2/2 + 4z4/4 − 6z3/3 + C

Simplify:

= 4z2 + z4 − 2z3 + C
