Trig Substitutions : If the integral contains the following root use the given substitution and formula to convert into an integral involving trig functions. a 2 - b 2 x 2 Þ x = ab sin q

b 2 x 2 - a 2 Þ x = ba sec q

cos 2 q = 1 - sin 2 q Ex.

tan 2 q = sec 2 q - 1 ó õ

dx

x = 23 sin q Þ dx = 23 cos q dq

sec2 q = 1 + tan 2 q

16 4 sin 2 q ( 2cosq ) 9

Recall x 2 = x . Because we have an indefinite integral we’ll assume positive and drop absolute value bars. If we had a definite integral we’d need to compute q ’s and remove absolute value bars based on that and, ì x if x ³ 0 x =í î- x if x < 0

Use Right Triangle Trig to go back to x’s. From substitution we have sin q = 32x so,

From this we see that cot q =

òx

4 - 9x = 2 cos q . 2

Partial Fractions : If integrating

( 23 cos q ) dq = ò sin122 q dq = ò 12 csc 2 dq = -12 cot q + c

2 2 4 - 9x 2 = 4 - 4sin q = 4 cos q = 2 cos q

In this case we have

Set numerators equal and collect like terms. 7 x 2 + 13x = ( A + B ) x 2 + ( C - B ) x + 4 A - C Set coefficients equal to get a system and solve to get constants. A+ B = 7 C - B = 13 4A - C = 0 A=4 B=3 C = 16

An alternate method that sometimes works to find constants. Start with setting numerators equal in previous example : 7 x 2 + 13x = A ( x 2 + 4 ) + ( Bx + C ) ( x - 1) . Chose nice values of x and plug in. For example if x = 1 we get 20 = 5A which gives A = 4 . This won’t always work easily. Visit http://tutorial.math.lamar.edu for a complete set of Calculus notes.

Applications of Integrals Net Area :

ò a f ( x ) dx represents the net area between f ( x ) and the

x-axis with area above x-axis positive and area below x-axis negative.

If the curves intersect then the area of each portion must be found individually. Here are some sketches of a couple possible situations and formulas for a couple of possible cases.

Volumes of Revolution : The two main formulas are V = ò A ( x ) dx and V = ò A ( y ) dy . Here is some general information about each method of computing and some examples. Rings Cylinders 2 2 A = 2p ( radius ) ( width / height ) A = p ( outer radius ) - ( inner radius)

g ( x ) , A ( x ) and dx.

Ex. Axis : y = a > 0

Ex. Axis : y = a £ 0

Ex. Axis : y = a > 0

Ex. Axis : y = a £ 0

outer radius : a - f ( x )

outer radius: a + g ( x )

radius : a - y

radius : a + y

inner radius : a - g ( x )

inner radius: a + f ( x )

width : f ( y ) - g ( y )

width : f ( y ) - g ( y )

These are only a few cases for horizontal axis of rotation. If axis of rotation is the x-axis use the y = a £ 0 case with a = 0 . For vertical axis of rotation ( x = a > 0 and x = a £ 0 ) interchange x and y to get appropriate formulas. Visit http://tutorial.math.lamar.edu for a complete set of Calculus notes.

Improper Integral An improper integral is an integral with one or more infinite limits and/or discontinuous integrands. Integral is called convergent if the limit exists and has a finite value and divergent if the limit doesn’t exist or has infinite value. This is typically a Calc II topic. Infinite Limit 1. 3.
