5.9.1 Integrating Further Functions


As with other problems in integration the results in this revision note may have further uses such as

  • evaluating a definite integral
  • finding the constant of integration
  • finding areas under a curve, between a line and a curve or between two curves

Integrating with Reciprocal Trigonometric Functions

cosec (cosecant, csc), sec (secant) and cot (cotangent) are the reciprocal functions of sine, cosine and tangent respectively.

What are the antiderivatives involving reciprocal trigonometric functions?

  • integral subscript blank superscript blank sec squared space x space d x equals tan space x plus c
  • integral subscript blank superscript blank sec space x space tan space x space d x equals sec space x plus c
  • integral subscript blank superscript blank cosec space x space cot space x space d x equals negative cosec space x plus c
  • integral subscript blank superscript blank cosec squared space x space d x equals negative cot space x plus c
  • These are not given in the formula booklet directly
    • they are listed the other way round as ‘standard derivatives’
    • be careful with the negatives in the last two results
    • and remember “+c” !

How do I integrate these if a linear function of x is involved?

  • All integration rules could apply alongside the results above
  • The use of reverse chain rule is particularly common
    • For linear functions the following results can be useful
      • integral subscript blank superscript blank sec open parentheses a x plus b close parentheses space tan open parentheses a x plus b close parentheses space d x equals 1 over a sec open parentheses a x plus b close parentheses plus straight c
      • integral subscript blank superscript blank cosec open parentheses a x plus b close parentheses space cot open parentheses a x plus b close parentheses space d x equals negative 1 over a cosec open parentheses a x plus b close parentheses plus straight c
      • integral subscript blank superscript blank cot open parentheses a x plus b close parentheses space d x equals negative 1 over a cosec squared open parentheses a x plus b close parentheses plus straight c
    • These are not in the formula booklet
      • they can be deduced by spotting reverse chain rule
      • they are not essential to remember but can make problems easier

Exam Tip

  • Even if you think you have remembered these antiderivatives, always use the formula booklet to double check
    • those squares, negatives and "1 over"'s are easy to get muddled up!
  • Remember to use 'adjust' and 'compensate' for reverse chain rule when coefficients are involved

Worked Example

The graph of y equals f left parenthesis x right parenthesis where f left parenthesis x right parenthesis equals integral subscript blank superscript blank 2 sec squared space 5 x space d x passes through the point open parentheses pi over 3 comma space 0 close parentheses.

Show that 5 y equals 2 open parentheses square root of 3 plus tan space 5 x close parentheses.

Integrating with Inverse Trigonometric Functions

arcsin, arccos and arctan are (one-to-one) functions defined as the inverse functions of sine, cosine and tangent respectively.

What are the antiderivatives involving the inverse trigonometric functions?

  • integral subscript blank superscript blank fraction numerator 1 over denominator square root of 1 minus x squared end root end fraction space d x equals arcsin space x plus c
  • integral subscript blank superscript blank fraction numerator 1 over denominator 1 plus x squared end fraction space d x equals arctan space x plus c
  • Note that the antiderivative involving arccos space x would arise from

integral subscript blank superscript blank minus fraction numerator 1 over denominator square root of 1 minus x squared end root end fraction space d x equals arccos space x plus c

    • However, the negative can be treated as a coefficient of -1 and so

integral subscript blank superscript blank minus fraction numerator 1 over denominator square root of 1 minus x squared end root end fraction space d x equals negative integral subscript blank superscript blank fraction numerator 1 over denominator square root of 1 minus x squared end root space end fraction space d x equals negative arcsin space x plus c

    • Similarly,

integral subscript blank superscript blank fraction numerator 1 over denominator square root of 1 minus x squared end root end fraction space d x equals negative integral subscript blank superscript blank minus fraction numerator 1 over denominator square root of 1 minus x squared end root end fraction space d x equals negative arccos space x plus c

  • Unless a question requires otherwise, stick to the first two results
  • These are listed in the formula booklet the other way round as ‘standard derivatives’
  • For the antiderivative involving arctan space x, note that open parentheses 1 plus x squared close parentheses is the same as open parentheses x squared plus 1 close parentheses

How do I integrate these expressions if the denominator is not in the correct form?

  • Some problems involve integrands that look very similar to the above but the denominators start with a number other than one
    • denominators of the form a squared plus-or-minus open parentheses b x close parentheses squared space (with or without the square root!)
    • the integrand can be rewritten by taking a factor of a squared
      • this means the denominator will start with 1
      • e.g. 9 plus 4 x squared equals 9 open parentheses 1 plus 4 over 9 x squared close parentheses equals 9 open parentheses 1 plus open parentheses 2 over 3 x close parentheses squared close parentheses
      • 2 over 3 xis a linear function of x, so use ‘adjust and compensate’
    • Another type of problem has a quadratic denominator
      • denominators of the form a x squared plus b x plus c
        • a rearrangement of this is more likely but it is still quadratic
      • the integrand can be rewritten by completing the square
      • e.g. 5 minus x squared plus 4 x equals 5 minus open parentheses x squared plus 4 x close parentheses equals 5 minus open square brackets open parentheses x plus 2 close parentheses squared minus 4 close square brackets equals 9 minus open parentheses x plus 2 close parentheses squared
      • This can then be dealt with like the first type of problem above

Exam Tip

  • Always start integrals involving the inverse trig functions by rewrtiting the denominator into the correct form
    • With or without the square root, the denominator should be of the form  1 plus-or-minus stretchy left square bracket g left parenthesis x right parenthesis stretchy right square bracket squared 
    • The numerator can be dealt with afterwards using 'adjust' and 'compensate' if necessary

Worked Example

a)       Find integral subscript blank superscript blank fraction numerator 1 over denominator 9 plus 4 x squared end fraction space d x.

5-9-1-ib-hl-aa-only-we2a-soltn

b)       Find integral subscript blank superscript blank fraction numerator 1 over denominator square root of 5 minus x squared plus 4 x end root end fraction space d x.

5-9-1-ib-hl-aa-only-we2b-soltn

Integrating Exponential & Logarithmic Functions

Exponential functions have the general form y equals a to the power of x.  Special case:  y equals straight e to the power of x.

Logarithmic functions have the general form y equals log subscript a x.  Special case:  y equals log subscript straight e x equals ln space x.

What are the antiderivatives of exponential and logarithmic functions?

  • Those involving the special cases have been met before
    • integral subscript blank superscript blank straight e to the power of x space d x equals straight e to the power of x plus c
    • integral subscript blank superscript blank 1 over x space d x equals ln space vertical line x vertical line plus c
    • These are given in the formula booklet
  • Also
    • integral subscript blank superscript blank a to the power of x space d x equals fraction numerator 1 over denominator ln space a end fraction a to the power of x plus c
    • This is also given in the formula booklet
  • By reverse chain rule
    • integral subscript blank superscript blank fraction numerator 1 over denominator x ln space a end fraction space d x equals log subscript a vertical line x vertical line plus c
    • This is not in the formula booklet
  • There is also the reverse chain rule to look out for
    • this occurs when the numerator is (almost) the derivative of the denominator
    • integral subscript blank superscript blank fraction numerator f apostrophe left parenthesis x right parenthesis over denominator f left parenthesis x right parenthesis end fraction space d x equals ln space open vertical bar space f left parenthesis x right parenthesis space close vertical bar plus c

How do I integrate exponentials and logarithms with a linear function of x involved?

  • In the case of linear functions of the form a x plus b
    • integral subscript blank superscript blank straight e to the power of a x plus b end exponent space d x equals 1 over a straight e to the power of a x plus b end exponent plus straight c
    • integral subscript blank superscript blank fraction numerator 1 over denominator a x plus b end fraction space d x equals 1 over a ln space open vertical bar space a x plus b close vertical bar plus c
    • These are not in the formula booklet but can be derived using ‘adjust and compensate’ from reverse chain rule

Exam Tip

  • Remember to always use the modulus signs for logarithmic terms in the antiderivative
    • Once it is deduced that  g left parenthesis x right parenthesis in  ln space vertical line g left parenthesis x right parenthesis vertical line (say) is guaranteed to be positive, the modulus signs can be replaced with brackets

Worked Example

a)       Find integral subscript blank superscript blank 3 to the power of 2 x plus 4 end exponent space d x.

5-9-1-ib-hl-aa-only-we3a-soltn

b)       Given fraction numerator straight d y over denominator straight d x end fraction equals fraction numerator 5 over denominator 1 minus 7 x end fraction show that y equals negative 5 over 7 space ln space open vertical bar 1 minus 7 x close vertical bar plus c, where c is a constant.
