2. Integration by Parts
Remember that if u and v are differentiable functions of x, then u · v is also differentiable and
d d d
(u · v) = u · v + v · u.
dx dx dx
Using differential forms this may be written as
d(uv) = udv + vdu. (1)
Taking the integral of the both sides of (1), we obtain
ˆ ˆ ˆ
d(uv) = udv + vdu. (2)
´
Note that d(uv) = uv. Therefore (2) can be written as
ˆ ˆ
uv = udv + vdu,

or, equivalently, ˆ ˆ
udv = uv − vdu.

Remark. This technique requires the separation of the integral into two parts as u and dv
(which includes the differential of integral, say dx) such that
• u gets simpler when differentiated.
• dv is easy to integrate.

3. Trigonometric Integrals
3.1. Products of Powers of Sines and Cosines. If we are given an integral of the form
ˆ
sinm x cosn x dx, where m, n ≥ 0,

There are three possible cases:

Case 1. If m is odd, we write m as 2k + 1 and use the identity sin2 x = 1 − cos2 x to obtain
sinm x = sin2k+1 x = (sin2 x)k sin x = (1 − cos2 x)k sin x,
and, then ˆ ˆ
m n
sin x cos x dx = (1 − cos2 x)k cosn x sin x dx.

Using the substitution u = cos x, we get

ˆ ˆ ˆ
sin x cos x dx = (1 − cos x) cos x sin x dx = − (1 − u2 )k un du.
m n 2 k n

Now, the integral is easy to evaluate.

Case 2. If m is even and n is odd, we write n as 2k + 1 and use the identity cos2 x = 1 − sin2 x
and repeat what we have done in Case 1 changing the places of sine and cosine.
Case 3. If both m and n are even, we substitute
1 − cos 2x 1 + cos 2x
sin2 x = , cos2 x =
2 2
to reduce the integrand to one in lower powers of cos 2x.

3.2. Integrals of Powers of tan x and sec x. We know how to integrate the tangent and
secant and their squares. To integrate higher powers we use the identities tan2 x = sec2 x − 1
and sec2 x = tan2 x + 1, and integrate by parts when necessary to reduce the higher powers to
lower powers.

3.3. Products of Sines and Cosines. To evaluate the integrals of the form
ˆ ˆ ˆ
sin mx sin nx dx, sin mx cos nx dx, and cos mx cos nx dx,

we may apply the method of integration by parts, but two such integrations are required in
each case. So, it is better to use the identities
1
sin mx sin nx = (cos(m − n)x − cos(m + n)x)
2
1
sin mx cos nx = (sin(m − n)x + cos(m + n)x)
2
1
cos mx cos nx = (cos(m − n)x + cos(m + n)x)

3.4. Trigonometric Substitutions. Trigonometric substitutions can be effective in trans-
forming complicated integrals involving a2 − x2 , a2 + x2 and x2 − a2 into integrals we can
evaluate directly.
The following table gives the suitable trigonometric substitution in each case and the trigono-
metric identity to be used.
Expression Trigonometric Substitution Related Trigonometric Identity
a2 + x 2 x = a tan θ 1 + tan2 θ = sec2 θ
2
a −x 2
x = a sin θ 1 − sin2 θ = cos2 θ
x 2 − a2 x = a sec θ sec2 θ − 1 = tan2 θ
Remark. We want any substitution we use in an integration to be reversible so that we can
change back to the  original variable afterward. For example, if x = a tan θ, we want to be able
−1 x

to set θ = tan after the integration takes place. As we know, the functions in these
a
substitution have inverses only for selected values of θ. For reversibility,
x π π
x = a tan θ requires θ = tan−1 with − < θ < ,
a 2 2
x π π
x = a sin θ requires θ = sin−1 with − ≤ θ ≤ ,
a 2 2
 π x



x
x = a sec θ requires θ = sec−1 with
a
 π < θ ≤ π if x ≤ −1,


2 a
To simplify calculations with the substitution x = a sec θ, we will restrict its use to integrals in
x h π √
which ≥ 1. This will place θ in 0, and make tan θ ≥ 0. We will then have x2 − a2 =
√ a 2
a2 tan2 θ = |a tan θ| = a tan θ, free of absolute values, provided that a > 0.

4. Integration of Rational Functions Using Partial Fractions

The method based on the fact that “every rational function can be written as a sum of simpler
fractions that we can integrate with the techniques we already know”.
General Description of the Method of Partial Fractions. To write a rational function
P (x)
as a sum of partial fractions, do the following:
Q(x)
(1) The degree of P (x) must be less than the degree of Q(x). (Otherwise, divide P (x) by
Q(x) and work on the remainder.)
(2) Factor out the polynomial Q(x).
• For each linear factor, assign the sum of m partial fractions to this factor where m
is the exponent of that linear factor as follows:
A1 A2 Am
+ 2
+ ··· +
x − r (x − r) (x − r)m

• For each irreducible quadratic factor (a polynomial of second degree that cannot
be written as a product of linear factors), assign the sum of n partial fractions to
 INTEGRATION TECHNIQUES 7

this factor where n is the exponent of that quadratic factor as:

B1 x + C1 B2 x + C2 Bn x + Cn
2
+ 2 2
+ ··· + 2
x + px + q (x + px + q) (x + px + q)n
Several Examples. We assume that the degree of P (x) is less than the degree of Q(x).
(1) Distinct Linear Factors:
P (x) P (x) A B C
= = + + .
Q(x) (x − r1 )(x − r2 )(x − r3 ) x − r1 x − r2 x − r3
(2) Repeated Linear Factors:
P (x) P (x) A B C D
= 4
= + 2
+ 3
+ .
Q(x) (x − r) x − r (x − r) (x − r) (x − r)4
(3) Some distinct, some repeated linear factors:
P (x) P (x) A B C D E F
= 2 3
= + 2+ + + 2
+ .
Q(x) x (x − r1 )(x − r2 ) x x x − r1 x − r2 (x − r2 ) (x − r3 )3
(4) Distinct irreducible quadratic factors:
P (x) P (x) Ax + B Cx + D
= 2 2
= 2 + 2 .
Q(x) (x + p1 x + q1 )(x + p2 x + q2 ) x + p1 x + q 1 x + p2 x + q2
(5) Repeated irreducible quadratic factors:

5. Improper Integrals
ˆ 2
1
Example 5.1. Evaluate dx.
−1 x2
When studying the definite integrals, we required two things. First, the domain of integration
(from a to b) [a, b], be finite. Second, function is finite on the domain of integration.
Question: What happens if the domain of integration is infinite? What if function becomes
infinite in the domain of integration?
Answer: Improper integration!
The integrals of type described above are called improper integrals. If the limits exist, we
evaluate them with the following definitions
(1) If f is continuous on [a, ∞), then
ˆ ∞ ˆ b
f (x) dx = lim f (x) dx.
a b→∞ a

(2) If f is continuous on (−∞, b], then

ˆ b ˆ b
f (x) dx = lim f (x) dx.
−∞ a→−∞ a

(3) If f is continuous on [a, b) then

ˆ b ˆ c
f (x) dx = lim− f (x) dx.
a c→b a

(4) If f is continuous on (a, b] then

ˆ b ˆ b
f (x) dx = lim+ f (x) dx.
a c→a c
In each case, if the limit exists and is finite we say that the improper integral converges and
the limit is the value of the improper integral. Otherwise the improper integral diverges.
Similarly, if f becomes infinite at an interior point d ∈ [a, b], then
ˆ b ˆ d ˆ b
f (x) dx = f (x) dx + f (x) dx.
a a d

This integral (on [a, b]) converges if both integrals (on [a, d] and on [d, b]) converges. Otherwise,
the integral from a to b diverges. ˆ ˆ
a ∞
Finally, if f is continuous on (−∞, ∞) and if f (x) dx and f (x) dx both converge, then
ˆ ∞ −∞ a

f (x) dx converges and its value is

−∞
ˆ ∞ ˆ a ˆ ∞
f (x) dx = f (x) dx + f (x) dx.
−∞ −∞ a

If either one or both of the integrals on the right-hand side of this equation diverge, the integral
diverges.
Example 5.2. In each part, determine whether the improper integral converges or diverges,
and find its value if it converges.
