Basic Integration

3.1 Integration as the Inverse of Differentiation, Integration of axn and integration of the Functions of the Sum/Difference of Algebraic Terms

Type 1:

adx=ax+CExample2dx=2x+C

Type 2:

axndx=axn+1n+1+CExample12x3dx=2x44+C=x42+CExample223x5dx=23x5dx=23(x44)+C=23(x44)+C=x46+C


Type 3:

(u+v)dx=udx±vdxu and v are functions in xExample 13x2+2xdx=3x2dx+2xdx=3x33+2x22+C=3x33+2x22+C=x3+x2+C
