1.3 Techniques of Integration

In Sections 1.1 and 1.2, we solve integrals by using basic integration table. However, not all
integrals can fit that table. Hence, we need some methods to convert those integrals to
elementary forms, so that we can solve them all. The methods are
a) integration by substitution
b) integration by parts
c) integration by tabular method
d) integration using partial fractions
1.3.1 Integration by Substitution
Step 1: Choose ‘u’ so that the integration is easier
 Usually ‘u’ is the inside of something
 The derivative of ‘u’ must be in  (disregard constant)

Step 2: Transform  ' x ' dx  u du

Step 3: Do the integration

Step 4: Replace back to ‘x’

1.3.4 Integration by Partial Fractions

‘The How’
1. Every polynomial can be factored into a product of linear or irreducible quadratic factors
that is (ax  b) or (ax 2  bx  c).
R( x)
2. Every rational function, , where degree of R( x)  degree of Q( x) (known as proper
Q( x)
fraction) can be decomposed into partial fractions
 For degree of R( x)  degree of Q( x) (known as improper fraction), we need to do
long division first.
