Basic Concepts of Indefinite Integrals Let F(x) be a differentiable function of x such that d/dx [F(x)] = f(x). Then F(x) is called the integral of f(x). Symbolically, it is written as ∫ f(x) dx = F(x). f(x), the function to be integrated, is called the integrand. F(x) is also called the anti-derivative (or primitive function) of f(x). As the differential coefficient of a constant is zero, we have d/dx (F(x)) = f(x) ⇒ d/dx [F(x) + c] = f(x). Therefore, ∫ f(x) dx = F(x) + c. This constant c is called the constant of integration and can take any real value. Integration is the reverse process of differentiation. Two integrals of the same function can differ only by a constant. If integral of a function ‘A’ is ‘B’, then the differential of function ‘B’ is ‘A’. The indefinite integral of any function always has a constant. If integrand f(x) cab be written as the product of two functions f1(x) and f2(x) where f2(x) is a function of integral of f1(x), then put integral of f1(x) = t. Basic Formulae Some of the important integrals of some frequently used functions are listed below: Some Standard Formulae Watch this Video for more reference Example 1: Evaluate ∫ 1/(1 + sin x) dx. Solution: In order to compute this integral, we multiply and divide it by (1-sin x) and so we have, ∫ 1/(1+ sin x) . (1 – sin x)/(1 - sin x) dx = ∫ (1 – sin x)/(1 - sin2x) dx = ∫ [(1 – sin x)/cos2x] dx Now splitting it into two terms, = ∫(1/cos2x dx – ∫ (sin x /cos2x) dx = ∫ sec2x dx – ∫ tan x sec x dx = tan x – sec x + c. ________________________________________________________________________________ Example 2: Evaluate ∫ sin x /(1 + sin x) dx. Solution: ∫ sin x /(1 + sin x) dx = ∫ (sin x + 1 – 1)/(1 + sin x) dx = ∫1 – ∫1/(1 + sin x) dx = ∫1 – ∫(1 – sin x)/(1–sin2 x) dx = ∫1 dx – ∫(1–sin x)/cos2 x dx = ∫(1 – sec2 x + sec x tan x) dx = x - tan x - sec x + C. _____________________________________________________________________________ Example 3: Evaluate ∫(sin3x + cos3x)/(sin2x cos2x) dx. Solution: = ∫ tan x sec x dx + ∫ cot x cosec x dx = sec x – cosec x + c. Methods of Integration The following chart illustrates the various methods of integration: These methods have been explained in detail in the coming sections.

Let F(x) be a differentiable function of x such that d/dx [F(x)] = f(x). Then F(x) is called the integral of f(x). Symbolically, it is written as ∫ f(x) dx = F(x).
f(x), the function to be integrated, is called the integrand.
F(x) is also called the anti-derivative (or primitive function) of f(x).
As the differential coefficient of a constant is zero, we have
d/dx (F(x)) = f(x) ⇒ d/dx [F(x) + c] = f(x).
Therefore, ∫ f(x) dx = F(x) + c. This constant c is called the constant of integration and can take any real value.
Integration is the reverse process of differentiation.
Two integrals of the same function can differ only by a constant.
If integral of a function ‘A’ is ‘B’, then the differential of function ‘B’ is ‘A’.
The indefinite integral of any function always has a constant.
If integrand f(x) cab be written as the product of two functions f1(x) and f2(x) where f2(x) is a function of integral of f1(x), then put integral of f1(x) = t.
Some of the important integrals of some frequently used functions are listed below:

Example 1:
Evaluate ∫ 1/(1 + sin x) dx.
Solution:
In order to compute this integral, we multiply and divide it by (1-sin x) and so we have,
∫ 1/(1+ sin x) . (1 – sin x)/(1 - sin x) dx
= ∫ (1 – sin x)/(1 - sin2x) dx
= ∫ [(1 – sin x)/cos2x] dx
Now splitting it into two terms,
= ∫(1/cos2x dx – ∫ (sin x /cos2x) dx
= ∫ sec2x dx – ∫ tan x sec x dx
= tan x – sec x + c.
________________________________________________________________________________
Example 2:
Evaluate ∫ sin x /(1 + sin x) dx.
∫ sin x /(1 + sin x) dx
= ∫ (sin x + 1 – 1)/(1 + sin x) dx
= ∫1 – ∫1/(1 + sin x) dx
= ∫1 – ∫(1 – sin x)/(1–sin2 x) dx
= ∫1 dx – ∫(1–sin x)/cos2 x dx
= ∫(1 – sec2 x + sec x tan x) dx
= x - tan x - sec x + C.
_____________________________________________________________________________
Example 3:
Evaluate ∫(sin3x + cos3x)/(sin2x cos2x) dx.
= ∫ tan x sec x dx + ∫ cot x cosec x dx
= sec x – cosec x + c.
