What is the indefinite integral of x^2 with respect to x?
2x + C
x^2 + C
3x + C
x^3/3 + C
By the power rule for integration, ?x^n dx = x^(n+1)/(n+1) + C. Here n = 2, so ?x^2 dx = x^3/3 + C. This rule applies for any real n ? -1.
Compute the indefinite integral ? cos(x) dx.
-cos(x) + C
cos(x) + C
sin(x) + C

? * ?0^4 x dx = 8?
? * ?0^4 x dx = 8?
? * ?0^4 x dx = 8?

-cos^2(x)/2 + C
x/2 + (sin(2x))/4 + C
x/2 - (sin(2x))/4 + C
sin(x) cos(x) + C
Use the identity sin^2(x) = (1 - cos(2x))/2. Integrate: ?sin^2(x)dx = ?(1/2)dx - ?(cos(2x)/2)dx = x/2 - (sin(2x))/4 + C.

x^2/2 - (1/2) ln(x^2+1) + C
ln(x^2+1) + C
x^2/2 + ln(x^2+1) + C
x^2 - ln(x^2+1) + C
Divide x^3 by x^2+1: x^3/(x^2+1) = x - x/(x^2+1). Integrate: ?x dx = x^2/2; ?x/(x^2+1)dx = (1/2)ln(x^2+1). Combine: x^2/2 - (1/2)ln(x^2+1) + C.
Evaluate ? e^(2x) sin(2x) dx.
e^(2x)/2 (sin(2x) - cos(2x)) + C
e^(2x) sin(2x) + C
e^(2x)/4 (sin(2x) + cos(2x)) + C
1/4 e^(2x) sin(2x) + C
Use integration by parts twice or complex exponentials. The result simplifies to (e^(2x)/2)(sin(2x) - cos(2x)) + C.

x arctan(x) + C
arctan(x)^2/2 + C
x arctan(x) - (1/2) ln(1+x^2) + C
ln(1+x^2) + C
Integration by parts: let u = arctan(x), dv = dx. Then du = dx/(1+x^2), v = x. So ?arctan(x)dx = x arctan(x) - ?x/(1+x^2)dx = x arctan(x) - (1/2)ln(1+x^2) + C.

Cheat Sheet

  1. Fundamental Theorem of Calculus -

    When tackling questions about integration, master the Fundamental Theorem of Calculus that links definite integrals and antiderivatives. In Part 1, F(x)=∫_a^x f(t)dt shows how differentiation reverses integration, while Part 2 gives ∫_a^b f′(x)dx=f(b)−f(a), letting you compute areas directly (Source: MIT OpenCourseWare). This tool is crucial on any integration problems quiz or integral calculus questions.

  2. u-Substitution Technique -

    u-Substitution is your go-to method for integrals where a composite function appears; set u equal to an inner function so du matches f ′(x)dx. For instance, ∫2x·cos(x^2+1)dx becomes ∫cos(u)du, yielding sin(u)+C (u=x^2+1). Practicing this on definite integral practice ensures you spot substitutions quickly.

  3. Integration by Parts and LIATE -

    Integration by parts comes from ∫u dv = u·v − ∫v du, and the LIATE mnemonic (Logs, Inverse trig, Algebraic, Trig, Exponential) helps choose u. For example, ∫x e^x dx = x e^x − ∫1·e^x dx = x e^x − e^x + C (Stewart's Calculus). This technique tackles tougher integral calculus questions and boosts your confidence on tricky integrals.

  4. Area and Volume Applications -

    Translating integrals into geometrical quantities is key: area under y=f(x) is ∫_a^b f(x)dx, while revolving around the x-axis gives volume V=π∫_a^b[f(x)]^2dx (Source: University of Cambridge). The washer method handles holes, and the shell method uses 2π∫ x·f(x)dx for cylindrical shells. Visualizing these setups turns abstract formulas into concrete problem-solving tools.

  5. Numerical Integration Methods -

    When antiderivatives are elusive in an integration techniques test, use numerical rules like Trapezoidal and Simpson's. Simpson's Rule, for instance, approximates ∫_a^b f(x)dx ≈ (Δx/3)[f(x_0)+4f(x_1)+f(x_2)] over each interval (Khan Academy). Regular practice on integration problems quizzes sharpens your error estimates and computational accuracy.
