ExampleWe use the table to calculate

Using a Table of Integrals A table of over 100 integrals, including those listed at the beginning of this section, appears on the inside covers of this text. This is a relatively short list. Mathematical handbooks such as Burington’s Handbook of Mathematical Tables and Formulas and CRC Standard Mathematical Tables contain extensive tables; the table in the CRC reference lists 600 integrals.

SolutionClosest to what we need is Formula 90:

We can write our integral to fit the formula by settingu = 2x, du = 2 dx.

Doing this, we have



Integration by Parts

Usually we writeu = u(x), dv = v´(x) dx

du = u´(x) dx, v = v(x).

Then the formula for integration by parts reads



Integration by PartsExampleCalculate

SolutionSetting u = x2 and dv = e−x dx, we have du = 2x dx and v = −e−x .This gives

We now calculate the integral on the right, again by parts. This time we setu = 2x and dv = e−x dx which gives du = 2 dx and v = −e−x

and thus

Combining this with our earlier calculations, we have

Powers and Products of Trigonometric FunctionsIntegrals of trigonometric powers and products can usually be reduced to elementaryintegrals by the imaginative use of the basic trigonometric identities and, here and there, some integration by parts. These are the identities that we’ll rely on:

Cotangents and Cosecants

The integrals in Examples 7–10 featured tangents and secants. In carrying out the integrations, we relied on the identity tan2 x + 1 = sec2 x and in one instance resorted to integration by parts. To calculate integrals that feature cotangents and cosecants, use the identity cot2 x + 1 = csc2 x and, if necessary, integration by parts.



Integrals Involving 2 2 2 2 2 2, ,a x a x x a− + −



Integrals Involving

Integrals that feature or can often be calculatedby a trigonometric substitution. Taking a > 0, we proceed as follows:

for we set x = a sin u;

for we set x = a tan u;

for we set x = a sec u.

In making such substitutions, we must make clear exactly what values of u we are using.

we note that the integral can be written

This integral features . For each x between −a and a, we setx = a sin u, dx = a cosu du,

taking u between −½π and ½π. For such u, cos u > 0 and

ExampleWe calculate

The domain of the integrand consists of two separated sets: all x > 1 and all x < −1. Both for x > 1 and x < −1, we set

x = sec u, dx = sec u tanu du.

For x > 1 we take u between 0 and ½π; for x < −1 we take u between π and 3∕2π. For such u, tan u > 0 and

Trigonometric substitutions can be effective in cases where the quadratic is not under a radical sign. In particular, the reduction formula

(a very useful little formula) can be obtained by setting x = a tan u, taking u between −½π and ½ π.



Rational Functions; Partial Fractions

A rational function R(x) = P(x)/Q(x) is said to be proper if the degree of thenumerator is less than the degree of the denominator. If the degree of the numerator is greater than or equal to the degree of the denominator, then the rational function is called improper. We will focus our attention on proper rational functions because any improper rational function can be written as a sum of a polynomial and a proper rational function:

As is shown in algebra, every proper rational function can be written as the sum of partial fractions, fractions of the form

The denominator has a repeated linear factor.




The denominator has an irreducible quadratic factor.




The denominator has a repeated irreducible quadratic factor.



Some Rationalizing Substitutions

There are integrands which are not rational functions but can be transformed into rational functions by a suitable substitution. Such substitutions are known as rationalizing substitutions.

Numerical Integration

To evaluate a definite integral of a continuous function by the formula

we must be able to find an antiderivative F and we must to able to evaluate this antiderivative both at a and at b. When this is not feasible, the method fails.

In the following slides we will illustrate some simple numerical methods for estimating definite integrals—methods that you can use whether or not you can find an antiderivative. All the methods described involve only simple arithmetic and are ideally suited to the computer.

Error EstimatesA numerical estimate is useful only to the extent that we can gauge its accuracy.

Theoretical error: Error inherent in the method we use

Round-off Error: Error that accumulates from rounding off the decimals that arise during the course of computation

Consider a function f continuous and increasing on [a, b]. Subdivide [a, b] into n nonoverlapping intervals, each of length (b − a)/n. Estimate

where c is some number between a and b. Usually we cannot pinpoint c any further. However, if f´´ is bounded on [a, b], say | f´´(x)| ≤ M for a ≤ x ≤ b, then




can be written

( )bS

n naE f x dx S= −∫

where, as before, c is some number between a and b. Whereas (8.7.1) varies as 1/n2, this quantity varies as 1/n4. Thus, for comparable n, we can expect greater accuracy from Simpson’s rule. In addition, if we assume that f (4)(x) is bounded on [a, b], say| f (4)(x)| ≤ M for a ≤ x ≤ b, then




To estimate

by the trapezoidal rule with theoretical error less than 0.00005, we needed to subdivide the interval [1, 2] into at least fifty-eight subintervals of equal length. To achieve the same degree of accuracy with Simpson’s rule, we need only four subintervals:

for f (x) = 1/x, f (4)(x) = 24/x4.

Therefore | f (4)(x)| ≤ 24 for all x ∈ [1, 2] and

This quantity is less than 0.00005 provided only that n4 > 167. This condition is met by n = 4.
