HKDSE Mathematics Indefinite Integration By Leon Lee 1. Introduction Integration, either definite or indefinite, is a large topic in HKDSE Extended Module 2. With the introduction of integrations by substitution and by parts, which were not required in HKCEE Additional Mathematics, to the syllabus, a much wider variety of questions can be set compared with the old syllabus. Therefore, students should pay much more attention to this topic, and try to master this topic as well as possible for good results in M2 examination. This note will demonstrate the techniques in solving problems involving indefinite integration as detailed as possible. It will start from the basic problems, and gradually to the hardest problems which involve advanced techniques in integration. 2. What is Indefinite Integration? → Indefinite integration can be considered the ‘reverse’ process of differentiation. → In differentiation, we find the derivative of a function. In indefinite integration, we find the primitive function of a function. → In simpler words, if the derivative of F (x) is f (x ) , then F (x) is a primitive function of f (x ) , i.e. d F ( x) = f ( x) . dx → The primitive function of a function is not unique in nature. d d d F ( x ) = [ F ( x ) + 1] = [ F ( x ) + 2] = f ( x) . dx dx dx Then F (x ) , F ( x) + 1 and F ( x) + 2 are all primitive functions of f (x ) . Note that When we replace 1 or 2 by any other real constants, say π , e , 2 or − 10 , we still get the same result. → From the above results, we see that there are infinitely many primitive functions for any integrable function. For convenience, if d F ( x ) = f ( x ) , then we write dx ∫ f ( x)dx = F ( x) + C . differentiation → The constant C is called the constant of integration, and it is arbitrary in nature. → The sign ∫ is called the integral sign, and f (x ) is called F(x)+C f (x) the integrand. indefinite integration Quick Example: As d x 1 = , we have dx 2 4 x ∫4 1 x dx = x +C. 2 1 Figure 1 A diagrammatic representation of differentiation and indefinite integration 3. Methods of Indefinite Integration The methods of indefinite integration will be introduced below. 3.1. Elementary Integration The following shows some fundamental indefinite integration results, which can be obtained directly from differentiation. (1) ∫ kdx = kx + C , where k is a constant (2) x n+1 n x dx = + C , where n ≠ −1 ∫ n +1 (3) ∫ x dx = ln x + C , where x ≠ 0 Important! is the absolute sign. It is defined as: 1 x , when x ≥ 0 x = − x , when x < 0 e ax + C , where a ≠ 0 a From (4), when a = 1 , we have (4) ax ∫ e dx = (5) ∫e x dx = e x + C . The following gives the proof of (3). The remaining is left to readers as an exercise. Proof: When x > 0 , ln x = ln x . We have d 1 (ln x ) = . dx x When x < 0 , ln x = ln(− x) . We have d 1 1 . [ln(− x )] = ( −1) = dx x −x 1 Combining the results, we have ∫ dx = ln x + C . x Furthermore, we have the following properties. They can also be easily proved by employing differentiation. (6) ∫ kf ( x)dx = k ∫ f ( x)dx, where k is a constant (7) ∫ [ f ( x) ± g ( x)]dx = ∫ f ( x)dx ± ∫ g ( x)dx Using (7) repeatedly, we have (8) ∫ [ f ( x) ± f 1 2 ( x ) ± ... ± f n ( x ) ]dx = ∫ f 1 ( x ) dx ± ∫ f 2 ( x) dx ± ... ± ∫ f n ( x ) dx 2 Example 1 4 1 Find ∫ x 2 − dx . (HKDSE Sample Paper) x Solution: 4 2 3 4 2 4 1 1 1 1 2 1 4 2 3 4 2 2 4 2 ∫ x − x dx = ∫ ( x ) + C1 ( x ) − x + C2 ( x ) − x + C3 ( x ) − x + − x dx 4 1 = ∫ x 8 − 4 x 5 + 6 x 2 − + 4 dx x x 4 = ∫ ( x 8 − 4 x 5 + 6 x 2 − + x −4 ) dx x 9 6 3 x x x x −3 = − 4⋅ + 6 ⋅ − 4 ln x + +C −3 9 6 3 x 9 2x 6 1 = − + 2 x 3 − 4 ln x − 3 + C 9 3 3x Note: Always add the constant C after indefinite integration! To make it simple, you should add it whenever the integral sign (Binomial Theorem) ∫ disappears. Example 2 Find (a) ∫ ( ) 2 x + 1 dx (b) ∫ 10 x dx . Solution: (a) ∫( ) 2 x + 1 dx = ∫ ( x + 2 x + 1)dx 1 = ∫ ( x + 2 x 2 + 1) dx 3 x2 2 = + 2⋅ x2 + x + C 2 3 3 2 x 4 = + x2 + x +C 2 3 (b) We first let 10 x = e ax , where a is a constant. Solving, we have a = ln 10 . ln 10 x = ln e ax ∫ 10 dx = ∫e x ln 10 = ax a = ln 10 x x ln 10 dx e x ln 10 +C ln 10 10 x = +C ln 10 = 3 3.2. Integration by Substitution The above formulae are very limited in usage and cannot deal with most integrals like 2x x +1 ∫ x − 1dx or ∫ x 2 +1dx . We need a new method called ‘integration by substitution’ to deal with these integrals. Let u = g ( x ) . Then, we have ∫ f ( g ( x)) g ' ( x)dx = ∫ f (u )du . The proof is given in the appendix of this note on p.46. This method can be regarded as the ‘reverse’ of the chain rule in differentiation. Refer to the following illustration to see how we can apply this method to find integrals: 2x dx . We take u = g ( x ) = x 2 + 1 . Then, we have g' ( x ) = 2 x . Consider ∫ 2 x +1 ∫ 2x 2 x +1 1 ⋅ 2 xdx g ( x) dx = ∫ 1 g ' ( x )dx g ( x) =∫ 1 2 = ∫ u du − Here, f ( x ) = 1 1 and g ( x) = x 2 + 1 . x = 2u 2 + C = 2 x2 +1 + C As seen from the above example, we can see that we express the integral in the form ∫ f ( g ( x)) g ' ( x)dx and transform it into the form ∫ f (u )du for simpler calculation. However, we usually use the following way: Let u = x 2 + 1 , then du = 2 xdx , i.e. dx = ∫ 2x x2 +1 dx = ∫ 2x 1 du . 2x We express dx in terms of du. 1 du u 2x ⋅ 1 2 = ∫ u du − 1 2 = 2u + C = 2 x2 +1 + C We use a suitable substitution u = g (x ) at the beginning. We differentiate it with respect to x (w.r.t. x, in short) to obtain du = g ' ( x )dx . By rearranging terms, we get dx = 1 du . We put g ' ( x) it into the original integral and express the whole integral in terms of the new variable u only. Finally, we find the integral, and express the result in terms of the original variable x. 4 Example 3 (2012 DSE) (a) Find ∫ x +1 dx . x (b) Using the substitution u = x 2 − 1 , find ∫ x3 dx . x2 −1 Solution: (a) ∫ x +1 1 dx = ∫ (1 + )dx = x + ln x + C x x (b) Let u = x 2 − 1 , then du = 2 xdx , i.e. dx = 1 du . 2x x3 1 u +1 ∫ x 2 − 1 dx = 2 ∫ u du 1 1 (by (a)) = u + ln u + C 2 2 1 1 = ( x 2 − 1) + ln x 2 − 1 + C 2 2 1 1 1 = x 2 + ln x 2 − 1 + C ' , where C' = C − 2 2 2 Always remember: Express your final answer in terms of the original variable! *Think About*: (1) Why did we not to include − 1 in final answer and use a new constant C ' instead? 2 (2) Why and how is x 2 changed into u + 1 ?

Solution: Let u = x + 1 , then du = dx . ∫ x ( x + 1) dx = ∫ (u − 1) u du = ∫ (u − 2u + 1)u du = ∫ (u − 2u +u 2 2013 2 2013 2 2013 2015 2014 2013 ) du u 2016 2u 2015 u 2014 − + +C 2016 2015 2014 ( x + 1) 2016 2( x + 1) 2015 ( x + 1) 2014 = − + +C 2016 2015 2014 = Example 6 x2 x +1 Find (a) ∫ dx . dx (b) ∫ x −1 x −1 Solution: (a) x +1 ∫ x − 1 dx = ∫ x −1+ 2 dx x −1 2 x −1 = ∫ + dx x −1 x −1 1 = ∫ dx + 2∫ d ( x − 1) x −1 = x + 2 ln x − 1 + C We can write ∫ 1dx simply as ∫ dx , omitting the constant 1.

The notation ‘deg’ is used to refer to the degree of a polynomial. For instance, let (a) Here, we perform long division. h( x ) = x 5 − 2 x 2 + 1 , then deg h( x ) is 1 + 2 +3+ 4 1 − 3 + 2 1 −1 −1 −1 − 6 + 8 +1 equal to 5. 2. This type of long division without 1 −3+ 2 variables written is known as the method of + 2 − 3 −1 − 6 + 8 +1 detached coefficients. +2−6+4 3. The method employed in (b), i.e. to break + 3 − 5 − 6 + 8 +1 an algebraic fraction into sum of fractions +3−9 +6 with denominators of smaller degrees, is + 4 − 12 + 8 + 1 called resolving an algebraic fraction into + 4 − 12 + 8 partial fractions. +1 x 6 − x 5 − x 4 − x 3 − 6x 2 + 8x + 1 1 = x 4 + 2 x 3 + 3x 2 + 4 x + 2 . 2 x − 3x + 2 x − 3x + 2 Thus, f ( x ) ≡ x 4 + 2 x 3 + 3 x 2 + 4 x and g ( x ) ≡ 1 . Then, we have (b) From (a), g ( x ) ≡ 1 . 1 A B ≡ + x − 3x + 2 x − 1 x − 2 1 ≡ A( x − 2) + B( x − 1) 2 Put x = 1 , we have 1 = A(1 − 2) + B (1 − 1) , i.e. A = −1 . Put x = 2 , we have 1 = A(2 − 2) + B ( 2 − 1) , i.e. B = 1 . (c) From above, we have x 6 − x 5 − x 4 − x 3 − 6x 2 + 8x + 1 1 1 = x 4 + 2 x 3 + 3x 2 + 4 x + − 2 x − 2 x −1 x − 3x + 2 1 1 x 6 − x 5 − x 4 − x 3 − 6 x 2 + 8x + 1 dx = ∫ x 4 + 2 x 3 + 3 x 2 + 4 x + − dx 2 ∫ x − 2 x −1 x − 3x + 2 x5 x4 = + + x 3 + 2 x 2 + ln x − 2 − ln x − 1 + C 5 2 5 x x4 x−2 = + + x 3 + 2 x 2 + ln +C 5 2 x −1 7 Example 8 (Reduction Formula) Let y = x(ln x ) n , where x > 0 . (a) Find dy . dx (b) Let I n = ∫ (ln x) n dx , where n ≥ 0 . Using the result in (a), or otherwise, show that I n = x(ln x) n − nI n −1 (c) Hence, find I 4 . Solution: (a) dy 1 = x ⋅ n(ln x ) n −1 ⋅ + (ln x ) n ⋅ (1) = n(ln x ) n −1 + (ln x ) n dx x (b) Integrating both sides w.r.t. x, we have y = ∫ n(ln x ) n−1 dx + ∫ (ln x ) n dx x (ln x ) n = n ∫ (ln x ) n−1 dx + ∫ (ln x ) n dx ∫ (ln x) n dx = x(ln x ) n − n ∫ (ln x ) n −1 dx I n = x(ln x ) n − nI n −1 (c) Using the result in (b) repeatedly, we have I 4 = x (ln x ) 4 − 4 I 3 [ = x (ln x ) 4 − 4 x (ln x ) 3 − 3I 2 ] [ = x (ln x ) 4 − 4 x (ln x ) 3 + 12 x (ln x ) 2 − 2 I 1 ] = x (ln x ) 4 − 4 x (ln x ) 3 + 12 x (ln x ) 2 − 24[x ln x − I 0 ] = x (ln x ) 4 − 4 x (ln x ) 3 + 12 x (ln x ) 2 − 24 x ln x + 24 ∫ (ln x ) 0 dx = x (ln x ) 4 − 4 x (ln x ) 3 + 12 x (ln x ) 2 − 24 x ln x + 24 x + C Notes: (1) The method employed in this question is to establish a reduction formula, which reduces an integral from a higher to lower power, with the same form. A reduction formula can be used repeatedly to lower the power of the integral, until it can be integrated easily. In this way, the integrals in certain forms, no matter how high the power is, can be found. (2) We can find out a reduction formula by differentiation. However, we usually use a technique called integration by parts to find them out. This will be introduced in Section 3.5. (Refer to Example 34 for details) 8 3.3. Integration of Trigonometric Functions Trigonometric functions can be differentiated. Similarly, they can also be integrated. 3.3.1. Basic Integration of Trigonometric Functions From differentiation, we have the following basic results. (1) ∫ sin xdx = − cos x + C (2) ∫ cos xdx = sin x + C (3) ∫ sec (4) ∫ csc (5) ∫ sec x tan xdx = sec x + C (6) ∫ csc x cot xdx = − csc x + C 2 xdx = tan x + C 2 xdx = − cot x + C For other integrals of trigonometric functions, different trigonometric identities are useful. Example 9 Find (a) ∫ sin 2 x dx (b) ∫ tan 2 xdx . 2 Solution: (a) ∫ sin (b) ∫ tan 2 x 1 − cos x 1 1 1 1 1 1 dx = ∫ dx = ∫ dx − ∫ cos xdx = x − ∫ cos xdx = x − sin x + C 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 xdx = ∫ (sec 2 x − 1) dx = tan x − x + C (Can you find 3.3.2. ∫ cos 2 x dx and 2 ∫ cot 2 xdx ? Give them a try!) Integration of Trigonometric Functions with Method of Substitution The method of substitution can also be used in finding integrals of trigonometric functions. Example 10 Point to note: Find ∫ sin 3x cos xdx . Generally, we have the following formulas for constants a and b, with a ≠ 0 : Solution: 1 ∫ sin(ax + b)dx = − a cos(ax + b) + C ∫ sin 3x cos xdx 1 1 [sin(3x + x) + sin(3x − x)]dx 2∫ 1 = ∫ (sin 4 x + sin 2 x)dx 2 1 1 1 1 = ⋅ ∫ sin 4 xd (4 x) + ⋅ ∫ sin 2 xd (2 x) 2 4 2 2 1 1 = − cos 4 x − cos 2 x + C 8 4 ∫ cos(ax + b)dx = a sin(ax + b) + C = They can be proven easily by differentiation or method of substitution, with substitution u = ax + b . They are widely accepted and are not required to be proven again in your calculations. 9 Example 11 (a) Prove that tan x = 1 − cos 2 x . sin 2 x (b) Hence, or otherwise, find ∫ 1 − cos 2 x dx . sin 2 x Solution: (a) RHS = 1 − cos 2 x 2 1 − cos 2 x sin 2 x sin x = ⋅ = = = tan x = LHS sin 2 x 2 sin x cos x 2 sin x cos x cos x Thus, we have tan x = (b) ∫ 1 − cos 2 x . sin 2 x 1 − cos 2 x sin x 1 dx = ∫ tan xdx = ∫ dx = − ∫ d (cos x ) = − ln cos x + C (or ln sec x + C ) sin 2 x cos x cos x Example 12 Find ∫ sec xdx . Solution: ∫ sec xdx =∫ sec x (sec x + tan x ) dx sec x + tan x =∫ d (sec x + tan x ) sec x + tan x (Here, u = sec x + tan x and du = sec x (sec x + tan x ) dx .) = ln sec x + tan x + C Notes: (1) Students are strongly recommended to recite the substitution used in Example 12, as well as the way to find this integral. (2) Alternatively, you can find the integral using partial fractions as follows: 1 cos x 1 1 dx = ∫ d (sin x) = ∫ du (for u = sin x ) 2 2 x 1 − sin x 1− u2 ∫ sec xdx = ∫ cos x dx = ∫ cos We can let 1 A B . Solving the simultaneous equations set up by ≡ + 2 1+ u 1− u 1− u comparing like terms, we can get A = Then, ∫ sec xdx = 1 1 and B = . (Refer to Example 7 for details) 2 2 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 + sin x du + ∫ du = ln 1 + u − ln 1 − u + C = ln +C . ∫ 2 1+ u 2 1− u 2 2 2 1 − sin x (3) Can you find ∫ csc xdx ? Give it a try! (Hint: Let u = csc x + cot x ) 10 Example 13 (Subsidiary Angle) (a) Let 0 < θ < π . By differentiating ln(sec θ + tan θ ) , show that ∫ sec θdθ = ln(secθ + tan θ ) + C , 2 where C is a constant. (b) Let cos θ − sin θ = r cos(θ + α ) , where r and α are constants with r > 0 and − π π <α < . 2 2 Find r and α . (c) Hence, find 1 ∫ cos θ − sin θ dθ . Solution: (a) d 1 ln(secθ + tan θ ) = (sec θ tan θ + sec 2 θ ) = sec θ dθ sec θ + tan θ Integrating both sides w.r.t. θ , we have ∫ secθdθ = ln(secθ + tan θ ) + C (b) cos θ − sin θ = r cos(θ + α ) = r cos θ sin α − r cos α sin θ Comparing like terms, we have ......................(1) r sin α = 1 − r cos α = −1.......................( 2) (1) : tan α = 1 ( 2) We get α = π . 4 (1) 2 + ( 2) 2 : r 2 (sin 2 α + cos 2 α ) = 12 + 12 We get r = 2 . π (c) From (b), we have cos θ − sin θ = 2 cosθ + . 4 1 1 1 ∫ cos θ − sin θ dθ = 2 ∫ π dθ cosθ + 4 1 π π = sec θ + d θ + ∫ 4 4 2 = 2 π π ln sec θ + + tan θ + + C 2 4 4 Notes: (1) The form r sin( x ± α ) or r cos( x ± α ) is called the subsidiary angle form. It expresses the sum (or difference) of two sine (or cosine) functions (with any non-zero coefficients) as a product of a non-zero real number and a sine (or cosine) function. (2) Subsidiary angle form is NOT required in HKDSE M2 Examination. However, question format as in Example 13 is possible to appear in the examination. 11 Example 14 sin(ln x) dx (b) ∫ sin x sec 2 (cos x )dx (c) x Find (a) ∫ ∫ x csc( x 2 + 1) cot( x 2 + 1) dx .

Integration of Special Types of Trigonometric Functions The integrals of some trigonometric functions can be found easily by certain methods. (Here, p and q are positive integers.) Type A: ∫ sin p x cos q xdx Example 15 Find (a) ∫ sin 5 x cos xdx (b) ∫ sin 6 x cos 3 xdx (c) ∫ sin 6 x cos 4 xdx .

In Examples 13(a) and 13(b), we used u = sin x as the substitution and the whole integral was expressed in terms of sin x . (2) If both p and q are even, we use the identities sin 2 x = 1 − cos 2 x 1 + cos 2 x and cos 2 x = 2 2 repeatedly to lower the power of the integral. The integral is eventually expressed as a sum of sine and cosine functions, and can then be integrated easily. 13 Type B: ∫ tan p x sec q xdx Example 16 Find (a) ∫ tan 5 x sec 2 xdx (b) ∫ tan 2 x sec 4 xdx (c) ∫ tan 3 x sec 5 xdx .

Besides this, sec n x (where n is an even number) can be expressed in terms of tan x using the relation sec 2 x = 1 + tan 2 x . (2) If both p and q are odd, we use the substitution u = sec x and convert the whole integral in terms of sec x . Besides this, tan n x (where n is an even number) can be expressed in terms of sec x using the relation tan 2 x = sec 2 x − 1 . (3) It is much more difficult to find the integral if p is even and q is odd. A new technique called ‘integration by parts’ is required, and it will be introduced in Section 3.5. (Refer to Example 33 on p. 33 for details.) (4) Integrals in the form ∫ cot p x csc q xdx are found in similar way. 14 Type C: ∫ sin xdx , n ∫ cos n xdx , etc. The techniques employed are similar to those used in finding Type A and Type B integrals.

There is no difference between the two integrals, and they are solely equivalent. 16 3.4. Integration by Trigonometric Substitution Integration of trigonometric functions can be helpful in finding certain indefinite integrals. Before learning how to do so, we have to learn about inverse trigonometric functions. 3.4.1. Inverse Trigonometric Functions We have come across with a lot of trigonometric functions, say, y = sin x . To express x in terms of y, we define x = sin −1 y (or x = arcsin y ), where sin −1 y is read as ‘arcsine y’. (a) Principal Values 2 π 3π 9π π , we may have x = , , ,... (in fact, x = nπ + ( −1) n , 2 4 4 4 4 where n is an integer). A function should give one and only one output for every input (e.g. for x = sin −1 y , if x is a function of y, then for any value of y, there is one and only one Consider y = sin x . For y = corresponding value of x). To make sure the relationship, we define an interval called ‘principal values’ to restrict the value of x. Refer to the following illustration: Let y = sin −1 x . (Note that x and y is exchanged here, unlike the above example) π π π π For arcsine functions, the principal values are − , (i.e. − ≤ x ≤ ). 2 2 2 2 When x = 1 π 1 π , we have y = , i.e. sin −1 = . 2 6 2 6 When x = −1 , we have y = − π π , i.e. sin −1 ( −1) = − . 2 2 Note: Our calculators are user-friendly. When you enter inverse trigonometric functions, it will automatically show the principal value as the answer. The principal values of different functions are shown in the table below: Function sin −1 x −1 cos x tan −1 x csc −1 x sec −1 x cot Note: cot −1 x Principal Values Point to note: π π − 2 , 2 [0, π ] [ ] refers to closed interval (i.e. including the π π − , 2 2 Examples: limits) while ( ) refers to open interval (i.e. excluding the limits). π − π ,− 2 or π 0, 2 π − π ,− 2 or (0, π ) π 0, 2 π = 0. 2 17 π π π π (1) x ∈ − , means − ≤ x ≤ . 2 2 2 2 π π π π (2) x ∈ − , means − < x < . 2 2 2 2 π π π π (3) x ∈ − , means − < x ≤ . 2 2 2 2 Example 18 Find (a) sin −1 0.75 (b) cos −1 π (c) cot −1 3.3 , in radian measures, correct to 3 decimal places. 4 Solution: (a) sin −1 0.75 ≈ 0.848 (i.e. sin 0.848 ≈ 0.75 ) (b) cos −1 Let x = cot −1 3.3 . Then, we have cot x = 3.3 π ≈ 0.667 4 1 = 3. 3 tan x 1 tan x = 3. 3 1 x = tan −1 3 .3 π (i.e. cos 0.667 ≈ ) 4 (c) We cannot enter ‘ cot −1 ’ directly into our calculators. Therefore, we use the following method. 1 cot −1 3.3 = tan −1 3.3 ≈ 0.294 (i.e. cot 0.294 ≈ 3.3 ) 1 i.e. cot −1 3.3 = tan −1 3 .3 (b) Graphs of Inverse Trigonometric Functions The following shows the graphs of the six trigonometric functions and those of their inverse functions for comparison: y y y=sin x y=sin−1 x x O O −1 y 1 x y π y=cos x O π 2 x −1 18 O y=cos−1 x 1 x y y y=tan x y=tan−1 x x O x O y y π 2 y=csc x x O y=csc−1 x 1 −1 O x π − 2 y y=sec−1 x y x y=sec x 1 −1 x O −π O y y y=cot x O x π 2 y=cot−1 x O Figure 2 The graphs of the six trigonometric functions and their inverse functions 19 x 3.4.2. Basic Integration by Trigonometric Substitution Trigonometric substitutions are useful in finding integrals involving a 2 − x 2 , a 2 + x 2 and x 2 − a 2 , where a is a constant. The following examples will illustrate how we use the substitution to find these integrals. Type A: Integrals involving a 2 − x 2 We use the substitution x = a sin θ , where − π π <θ < . 2 2 Example 19 Find ∫ 1 25 − x 2 dx . Solution: Let x = 5 sin θ , then dx = 5 cosθdθ . 1 1 ∫ 25 − x 2 dx = ∫ 25 − (5 sin θ ) 2 ⋅ 5 cos θdθ 5 cos θ =∫ dθ 5 cos 2 θ cos θ =∫ dθ cos θ = ∫ dθ =θ +C = sin −1 x +C 5 Notes: (1) In the range − π π < θ < , cosθ is positive. As a result, 2 2 cos 2 θ = cosθ . (Normally, we do not have to specify the range of θ in our calculations.) (2) We can also use the substitution x = 5 cosθ as follows: Let x = 5 cosθ , then dx = −5 sin θdθ . 1 1 ∫ 25 − x 2 dx = ∫ 25 − (5 cos θ ) 2 ⋅ (−5 sin θ )dθ = −∫ 5 sin θ dθ 5 sin 2 θ sin θ = −∫ dθ sin θ = − ∫ dθ = −θ + C = − cos −1 x +C 5 20 Example 20 Find ∫ 9 − x 2 dx .

(2) The steps of finding cosθ (enclosed by [ ]) can be skipped, as long as the right-angled triangle (with the lengths of three sides clearly indicated) is clearly drawn. 21 x Type B: Integrals involving a 2 + x 2 We use the substitution x = a tan θ , where − π π <θ < . 2 2 Example 21 It is given that Find (a) ∫ ∫ sec xdx = ln sec x + tan x + C .

Introduction There are still some integrals that cannot be found using the above techniques, e.g. ∫ x sin xdx , ∫ x ln xdx and ∫e x cos xdx , etc. which are mostly in the form of the products of two functions. Here, we need a new technique called integration by parts to deal with these integrals. Let u = f (x ) and v = g (x ) be two differentiable functions. Then, we have ∫ udv = uv − ∫ vdu . The proof is amazingly simple with the help of the product rule of differentiation. Proof: d (uv) = uv '+ vu ' dx Integrating both sides w.r.t. x, we have uv = ∫ uv ' dx + ∫ vu ' dx = ∫ udv + ∫ vdu i.e. ∫ udv = uv − ∫ vdu . The following example illustrates how we can use integration by parts to find an integral. Example 26 Find ∫ ln xdx . Solution: Consider ∫ ln xdx . Take u = ln x and v = x . We have du = 1 dx and dv = dx . x ∫ ln xdx = ∫ udv = uv − ∫ vdu In fact, it can be written in a simpler way: ∫ ln xdx = x ln x − ∫ xd (ln x) 1 = x ln x − ∫ x ⋅ dx x 1 = x ln x − ∫ x ⋅ dx x = x ln x − ∫ dx = x ln x − ∫ dx = x ln x − x + C = x ln x − x + C 26 3.5.2.

In DSE M2 examination, however, you are required to use this technique at most twice only to find an integral. 27 ∫x Type B: n ln xdx Example 28 Find ∫ x n ln xdx for (a) n ≠ −1 (b) n = −1 .

General t-substitution for integrals involving trigonometric functions There are some integrals that involve trigonometric functions in the denominator and/or numerator in the integrand, e.g. 1 ∫ 1 + sin x dx and 1 ∫ sin x + cos x + 1 dx , etc. To find these integrals, we can x use a special method which makes the whole integral be in terms of the variable t = tan . 2 Before talking about how we can use this method, we first see how we can express the three basic trigonometric functions, sin x , cos x and tan x , in terms of tan x . 2 Example 37 x Let t = tan . Express sin x , cos x and tan x in terms of t. 2 Solution: x x sin x = 2 sin cos 2 2 x sin 2 cos 2 x =2 x 2 cos 2 x 2 tan 2 = x sec 2 2 x 2 tan 2 = x 1 + tan 2 2 2t = 1+ t2 2 tan x cos x = 2 cos 2 − 1 2 2 = −1 2 x sec 2 2 = −1 2 x 1 + tan 2 2 − (1 + t 2 ) = 1+ t 2 1− t2 = 1+ t 2 tan x = x 2 1 − tan 2 = x 2 2t 1− t2 Notes: You may also consider constructing a right-angled triangle as shown after finding tan x . In this case, sin x and cos x can also be found. However, this is NOT considered a good method, as you can only find sin x and cos x for 0 < x < π in this case. Using trigonometric identities would be a better method as the result is true for all real values of x. There are also other methods to find out the way to express the three functions in terms of t. Interested readers can search for more information on the internet. 39 Example 38 Let I = ∫ 1 x dx . Using the substitution t = tan , or otherwise, find I. 1 + sin x 2 Solution: x Let t = tan . 2 1 x sec 2 dx 2 2 2 dx = dt 2 x 1 + tan 2 2 = dt 1+ t2 dt = 1 dx 1 + sin x 1 2 =∫ ⋅ dt 2t 1 + t 2 1+ 1+ t2 2 =∫ 2 dt t + 2t + 1 1 = 2∫ d (t + 1) (t + 1) 2 2 =− +C t +1 2 =− +C x tan + 1 2 I =∫ (by Example 37) Notes: (1) Readers should pay attention to the way we express dx in terms of t.

Applications of Indefinite Integration Indefinite integration is useful in both mathematics and daily life applications. A. Applications in Coordinate Geometry It is known that f ' ( x ) represents the slope of the tangent of a point (x,y) to the curve y = f (x ) . By integrating f ' ( x ) with respect to x, it is expected that we can obtain the original curve y = f (x ) . However, is it the case? No! Integrating f ' ( x ) w.r.t. x, we have ∫ f ' ( x)dx = y + C = y f ( x) + C We observe that there is an extra constant C. In fact, what we have obtained is a family of curves, which can be obtained by translating the curve of y = f (x ) upwards or downwards. Slope = f ' ( x ) We can further observe that all these curves have the same f ' ( x ) , i.e. the slope of tangent to all curves at point (x,y) is the same. In order to find out the equation of a specific curve instead of a family of curves, we need the coordinates of a specific point to find out the constant C. This restricts the possibility of curves to only one curve, but not the family of curves as x O Figure 3 The slope of tangent to the curve at point (x,y) is equal to f ' ( x ) . y mentioned. Similarly, suppose f ' ' ( x ) is given, we have ∫ f ' ' ( x)dx = f ' ( x ) + C1 ∫ [ f ' ( x) + C ]dx = 1 x O f ( x ) + C1 x + C 2 To find out f (x ) from f ' ' ( x ) , we need to integrate twice. Figure 4 These curves, obtained by translating y = f (x ) upwards or downwards, have the same f ' ( x ) . We also need the coordinates of two points on the curve. By substituting them into y = f ( x) + C1 x + C 2 , we can find out the constants C1 and C2 . Finally, we can find out the original function f (x ) . Refer to the examples on the next page. 42 Example 40 The slope of any point (x,y) on a curve Q is x 1+ x2 . It is known that Q passes through the origin. Find the equation of Q. Solution: dy x = . dx 1+ x2 Integrating both sides w.r.t. x, we have From the question, we have y=∫ x dx 1+ x2 1 1 = ∫ d (1 + x 2 ) 2 2 1+ x = 1+ x2 + C Put (0,0) into y = 1 + x 2 + C , we have 0 = 1 + 02 + C C = −1 Thus, the equation of Q is y = 1 + x 2 − 1 . Example 41 For curve Y, it is given that d2y = e 2 x . If Y passes through points A(0,1) and B(1,1), find the 2 dx equation of curve Y. Solution: d2y dy 1 = e 2 x , by integration, we have = ∫ e 2 x dx = e 2 x + C1 . 2 dx 2 dx 1 1 By further integration, we have y = ∫ e 2 x + C1 dx = e 2 x + C1 x + C 2 4 2 From Put (0,1) and (1,1) into y = 1 2x 3 1 and C1 + C 2 = 1 − e 2 . e + C1 x + C 2 , we get C 2 = 4 4 4 Solving the above system of linear equations, we get C1 = Thus, the equation of curve Y is y = 1 2x 1 − e2 3 e + x+ . 4 4 4 43 1− e2 3 and C 2 = . 4 4 B. Applications in Physics Consider an object travelling in a straight line: Q P We define some terms as follows: Displacement (s) is the distance of an object from its original position, with the consideration of direction. Velocity (v) is the derivative of displacement with respect to time (t). Acceleration (a) is the derivative of velocity with respect to time. If we take right hand side as positive direction, If PQ = 3 m, then the displacement of P is 3 m. On the contrary, if we take left hand side as positive direction, then the displacement of P is −3 m. dv d 2 s = . dt dt 2 By integrating a or v with respect to t, we can obtain v and s respectively. Note that a = Example 42 The velocity of a particle travelling along a straight line is given by v(t ) = 5 − 2t , where v(t ) is the velocity (in m/s) and t is time (in second). It is known that the particle passes through its original position after 4 seconds. Take right hand side as positive direction. (a) Find the displacement of the particle after t seconds. (b) What is the displacement of the particle when it is momentarily at rest? Solution: (a) Let the displacement of the particle after t seconds be s (t ) m. Then s(t ) = ∫ v(t ) dt = ∫ (5 − 2t ) dt = 5t − t 2 + C . When t = 4 , s(t ) = 0 . 5( 4) − (4) 2 + C = 0 C = −4 Thus, the displacement of the particle is ( − t 2 + 5t − 4 ) m. (b) The particle is momentarily at rest when v (t ) = 0 , i.e. t = 2 9 5 5 The displacement of particle = − + 5 − 4 = m 4 2 2 44 5 . 2 C. Other Applications Other than in physics, in many situations, if the rate of change is given, we can find out the original quantity by integrating the rate with respect to time. Example 43 The figure on the right shows an inverted circular cone with base radius 30 cm and height 40 cm. At the beginning, the cone was full of water. A small hole was then drilled at the apex of the cone and water is flowing out of the cone at a rate of ( 2t + 1) cm3/s, where t is time in second. (a) Express the volume of water remaining in the cone after t seconds. (b) After how many seconds will the cone be empty? Correct your answer to the nearest second. Figure 5 An inverted circular cone Solution: (a) Let the volume of water remaining in the cone be V cm3. Then, we have dV Negative sign is added = −( 2t + 1) dt since the volume of V = − ∫ ( 2t + 1) dt water is decreasing. 2 = −t − t + C 1 When t = 0 , we have V = π (30) 2 ( 40) = 12000π cm 3 . 3 Thus, the volume of water remaining in the cone after t seconds is (12000π − t − t 2 ) cm3. (b) When the cone is empty, V = 0 . 12000π − t − t 2 = 0 t 2 +t − 12000π = 0 t= − 1 ± (1) 2 − 4(1)(−12000π ) 2(1) − 1 + 48000π + 1 − 1 − 48000π + 1 or (rejected,Q t > 0) 2 2 ≈ 194 = Thus, the required time is 194 seconds.

But dy = F ' (u ) = f (u ) . du Integrating both sides w.r.t. u, we have y = ∫ f (u ) du . Then, we have ∫ f ( g ( x)) g ' ( x)dx = ∫ f (u )du . This completes this proof.
