1. Motivation.
Why study integration?
The theory of integration is a cornerstone of calculus. Integration finds
a useful place in many disciplines, such as: engineering; physics; biology;
economics and beyond.
Where are we going?
We will develop a number of important integration techniques that will
be useful in the study of applied problems.
Throughout our discussions we will see HOW integration naturally arises
in the analysis of applied problems and in modelling. This is critical to
motivate the ideas and also to build the intuition.

2. What you should already know.
You studied integration at school and in MATH 1131. You should becomfortable with:
using a table of integrals
integrating by inspection
integration by parts
integration by simple substitution.
Just in case youve forgotten these techniques, I have included someexamples to refresh your memory and to test your skills in the Appendix.
You will find this coursemuch easierif you can integrate with ease. Yourhard work will payoff later in the session!!

3. Integrals of trig functions.
You should be familiar with:
The above integrals are derived by using the double angle formulas:
cos2x = cos2 x
sin2 x
= 2 cos2 x 1= 1 2sin2 x
and for future reference
sin2x= 2 sin x cos x.

Integrals of products ofsin and/or cos.
We first discuss how such integrals naturally arise.
Applications matter! SocalledFourier seriesplay an important role
in the study ofheat flow.
A finite Fourier series of a functionf is given by the sum
f(x) := N
n=1
an sin nx (1)
= a1 sin x + a2 sin2x + aNsin N xwhere thean are some numbers that are to be determined. That is, we
aim to write f(x) as a sum ofsinfunctions.

We now see how integration of trig functions is central to the method.
We claim that themth coefficientamis given by
am =1
f(x)sin mx dx. (2)
If we multiply both sides of (1) by sin mx and then integrate over
[, ]we obtain
f(x)sin mx dx=
Nn=1
an sin nx sin mx dx
=N
n=1
an sin nx sin mx dx
.
Thus we have obtained an integral that involves a product ofsinfunc-
tions.
How do we evaulate such an integral?

Integrals of products ofsin and/or cos
These are done using the socalled product to sum formulae:
sin A cos B = [sin(AB) + sin(A + B)]/2sin A sin B = [cos(AB) cos(A + B)]/2
cos A cos B = [cos(AB) + cos(A + B)]/2Ex:sin4x cos2x dx=

Integrals of the form
cosm x sinn x dx
Ifm orn are oddthen our aim is to transform the integral into one of
the types: sink x cos x dx =
1
k+ 1sink+1 x + C
cosk x sin x dx = 1k+ 1
cosk+1 x + C.
At the heart of the approach is to factor out a sin xor cos xfrom theodd power term and then use the identity
cos2 x + sin2 x= 1
to transform the integral into one which can be directly evalutated.
Q: How can you verify the above integrals?

4. Reduction formulae
Repeated integration by parts can be a long process! We can shortenthe process by applying socalledreduction formulae.
Ex: The reduction formula tann x dx=
1
n 1 tann1 x
tann2 x dx ()
can be used in an iterative fashion to calculate
tan5 x dx.
IfIn:=
tann x dxthen (*) may be compactly written as
In:= 1
n 1 tann1 xIn2, n2.

to calculate I7.

A Two parameter recurrence:
Consider
Im,n =
/2
0cosm x sinn x dx
= /2
0[cosm1 x][sinn x cos x]dx
and use integration by parts. Choose u = cosm1 x and v =
sinn x cos x. Thus,
u =(m 1) sin x cosm2 x, v = 1n + 1
sinn+1 x.
Integration by parts then leads to
Im,n=
m
1
m + nIm2,n, m2.
23

8/10/2019 MATH1231 II Integration Slides Summer 2014 (1)
24/62
In a similar way, one could also obtain the recurrence
Im,n= n 1m + n
Im,n2. n2.
In applying the above formulae we must reach one ofI1,1 = 12, I1,0=I0,1 = 1orI0,0 =
2.
You are not expected to memorise this formula.

5. Trig & Hyperbolic Substitutions.
You will have already seen integration by simple substitution.
With integrals involving square roots of quadratics, the idea is to make
a suitable trigonometric or hyperbolic substitution that greatly simplifies
the integral.
25

8/10/2019 MATH1231 II Integration Slides Summer 2014 (1)

Integrals involving square roots of quadratics can be worked out using
the following trigonometric or hyperbolic substitutions.
a2 x2 tryx=a sin
a2 + x2 try x=a tan orx=a sinh
x2 a2 try x = a sec orx=a cosh

Applications matter! An important problem in applied math, engi-
neering and physics is to calculate the total mass of an given object.
Consider a thin wire ofconstantdensity (mass per unit length) thatlies in the XYplane along the curve
y =f(x) :=x2/2, axb.It can be shown that the total mass Mof the wire is
M =
ba
1 + [f(x)]2 dx
= b

6. Partial Fractions.
A rational function is a function of the form f(x)
g(x) where f and g are
polynomials.
Ex: Which of the following are rational functions?
(a) 2x + 1
3x2 4 (b)
cos x
x2 + 1
(c) x2
x 1 (d) ex
x + 1.
For the purpose of integration, we ensure that the degree of the numer-ator is less than the degree of the denominator. If not then we may need
to divide.

Building the intuition.
An integral like
dx
x(1 x)cannot be easily computed directly, however, we know that the integrals
dx
x,
dx
1
x
can both be directly evaluated.
Thus, can we write 1x(1x) as some linear combination of
1x and
11x?

Irreducible Quadratic Factors:
Suppose the denominator of our rational function is a quadratic which
does not factor (over the real numbers). For example,
f(x) = 2x + 1
x2 + 4x + 5.
To find the integral of such a function, we manipulate the integrand so
that
the numerator equals the derivative of the denominator.
This leads to a logarithm and complete the square on the denominator
of the remaining term leading to an inverse tangent function.

If the quadratic does have real but irrational roots, one can use this same
method to avoid nasty partial fractions. The second factor will then lead
to an inverse tanh.

In general, an irreducible quadratic factor
x2 + ax + b
in the denominator will give rise to a term of the form
Ax + B
x2 + ax + b
and more generally again, a factor
(x2 + ax + b)k
in the denominator will give rise to terms of the form
A1x + B1x2 + ax + b
+ A2x + B2
(x2 + ax + b)2+ ... +

Applications matter! Where does an integral involving partial frac-
tions arise? Let P = P(t) denote the population size of a species
at time t. It can be shown thatP and dP/dt satisfy the differential
equation
dP
dt =P
1 P
M
(3)
whereM >0is a constant.
The challenge is to determine the unknown function P from (3) and
hencepredictwhat will happen to the population over time.
If we rearrange (3) and integrate both sides w.r.t t then we obtain

7. Rationalising substitutions
The above methods using partial fractions allow us to integrate (in prin-
ciple) any rational function, so we often make a change of variable in anintegral that will lead us to some rational function.

8. Weierstrass substitution.
Weierstrasssubstitution is very useful for integrals involving a rational
expression insin xand/orcos x.
Weierstrasssubstitution is t= tan x2.
Recall, that sin x= 2t
1 + t2, cos x=
1 t21 + t2
, and that dx= 2 dt
1 + t2.
You should know how to derive these formulae. For example, if t =
tan(x/2)then
2t
1 + t2 =
2 tan(x/2)
1 + t a n2(x/2)
= 2 [sin(x/2)]/[cos(x/2)]
1 + [sin2(x/2)]/[cos2(x/2)]
= 2 sin(x/2) cos(x/2) = sin x.
Who was Weierstrass??

Integration by Parts.
The analysis requires you to:
choose functions f andg;
then calculate f andg from your above choices;
and then apply the above formula.
Ex: Evaluate I=
xex dx.
We choose f = x and g = ex
. Thus, f = 1 and g = ex
. Usingour IBP formula
I=
xex dx = xex
1ex dx
= xex ex + C.59

Integration by inspection.
When confronted by an integral, you should always see if the integralcan be guessed and then finetuned by multiplying or dividing by a
constant.
Alternatively, multiply and divide the integral by a particular constant toput it into a useful form.
Ex: Evaluatex(x2 + 1)10 dx.
See thatxis almostthe derivative of(x2 + 1).
We make the guess(x2 +1)11 and then check our guess by evaluating
d
dx[(x2 + 1)11] = 11 2x(x2 + 1)10 = 22x(x2 + 1)10.
See that we have an unwanted 22 in the above. Thus, we divide ourinitial guess by 22to obtain our answer
x(x2 + 1)10 dx= 1
22(x2 + 1)11 + C.

when the derivativeg(x)is present in the integrand up to a constant. sin t cos5 t dt =

The above methods should remind you of the chain rule!
x4(x3 + 1)10 dx
