Antiderivative Rules and Methods Flashcards
What do we call F(x) such that dF/dx = f(x)?
Antiderivative
Power Rule: ∫x^n dx = ?
[x^(n + 1)]/(n + 1) + C
When does the Power Rule not work?
When the exponent is -1
Constant Multiple Rule:
∫a*f(x) dx = ?
a∫f(x) dx
Sum/Difference Rule:
∫f(x) + g(x) dx = ?
∫f(x) dx + ∫g(x) dx
Can you use a product or quotient rule for integrals?
No
For constant a:
∫a dx = ?
ax + C
∫e^x dx = ?
e^x + C
∫1/x dx = ?
ln|x| + C
∫cos(x) dx = ?
sin(x) + C
∫sin(x) dx = ?
-cos(x) + C
∫x^-1 dx = ?
∫1/x dx = ln|x| + C
Which method of evaluating antiderivatives undoes the chain rule?
U-substitution
Formula for integrating by parts
∫u dv = uv - ∫v du
When integrating by parts, what is the requirement for assigning one part as dv?
It must be something you can integrate
