Integration Using Tables
and Computer Algebra Systems
In this section, we will learn:
How to use tables and computer algebra systems in
integrating functions that have elementary antiderivatives.

However, you should bear in mind that
even the most powerful computer algebra
systems (CAS) can’t find explicit formulas
for: The antiderivatives of functions like ex2
The other functions at the end of Section 7.5
TABLES OF INTEGRALS
Tables of indefinite integrals are very
useful when:
We are confronted by an integral that is difficult to evaluate by hand.
We don’t have access to a CAS.
TABLES OF INTEGRALS
A relatively brief table of 120 integrals,
categorized by form, is provided on
the Reference Pages.
TABLES OF INTEGRALS
More extensive tables are available in:
CRC Standard Mathematical Tables and Formulae, 31st ed. by Daniel Zwillinger (Boca Raton, FL: CRC Press, 2002), which has 709 entries
Gradshteyn and Ryzhik’s Table of Integrals, Series, and Products, 6e (San Diego: Academic Press, 2000), which contains hundreds of pages of integrals
TABLES OF INTEGRALS
Remember, integrals do not often occur
in exactly the form listed in a table.
Usually, we need to use substitution or algebraic manipulation to transform a given integral into one of the forms in the table.
TABLES OF INTEGRALS
The region bounded by the curves
y = arctan x, y = 0, and x = 1 is rotated
about the y-axis.
Find the volume of the resulting solid.

TABLES OF INTEGRALS
Using the method of cylindrical shells,
we see that the volume is:

If we look in the section Trigonometric Forms, we see that none of the entries explicitly includes a u3 factor.
However, we can use the reduction formula in entry 84 with n = 3:

Now, we need to evaluate
We can use the reduction formula in entry 85
with n = 2. Then, we follow by entry 82:

The table gives forms involving , ,
and , but not .
So, we first complete the square:

(so x = u – 1), the integrand will involve
the pattern :2 2a u

COMPUTER ALGEBRA SYSTEMS
We have seen that the use of tables
involves matching the form of the given
integrand with the forms of the integrands
in the tables.
CAS
Computers are particularly good at matching
patterns.
Also, just as we used substitutions in
conjunction with tables, a CAS can perform
substitutions that transform a given integral
into one that occurs in its stored formulas.
So, it isn’t surprising that CAS excel at integration.
CAS
That doesn’t mean that integration by
hand is an obsolete skill.
We will see that, sometimes, a hand computation produces an indefinite integral in a form that is more convenient than a machine answer.
CAS VS. MANUAL COMPUTATION
To begin, let’s see what happens when
we ask a machine to integrate the relatively
simple function
y = 1/(3x – 2)
CAS VS. MANUAL COMPUTATION
Using the substitution u = 3x – 2, an easy
calculation by hand gives:
However, Derive, Mathematica, and Maple
return:
13
1ln 3 2
3 2dx x C
x
13 ln(3 2)x
CAS VS. MANUAL COMPUTATION
The first thing to notice is that CAS omit
the constant of integration.
That is, they produce a particular antiderivative, not the most general one.
Thus, when making use of a machine integration, we might have to add a constant.
CAS VS. MANUAL COMPUTATION
Second, the absolute value signs are
omitted in the machine answer.
That is fine if our problem is concerned only with values of x greater than .
However, if we are interested in other values of x, then we need to insert the absolute value symbol.

CAS
In the next example, we reconsider the
integral of Example 4.
This time, though, we ask a machine for
the answer.

Maple responds with:

Example 5
CAS
That looks different from the answer in
Example 4.
However, it is equivalent because the third
term can be rewritten using the identity
2arcsinh ln( 1) x x x
Example 5
CAS
Thus,
The resulting extra term can be absorbed into the constant of integration.

It combined the first two terms of Example 4 (and the Maple result) into a single term by factoring.

Derive gives:
The first term is like the first term in the Mathematica answer.
The second is identical to the last term in Example 4.

Example 6
CAS
It’s clear that both systems
must have expanded (x2 + 5)8
by the Binomial Theorem and then
integrated each term.
Example 6
CAS
If we integrate by hand instead, using
the substitution u = x2 + 5, we get:
For most purposes, this is a more convenient form of the answer.

Derive and Maple report:
Mathematica produces:

5 31 164 192 320 448cos cos3 cos5 cos7x x x x
Example 7
CAS
We suspect there are trigonometric
identities that show these three answers
are equivalent.
Indeed, if we ask Derive, Maple, and Mathematica to simplify their expressions using trigonometric identities, they ultimately produce the same form of the answer as in Equation 1.
