Day 32 – Morning Session: Mathematics – Integration (Basic Rules & Formulas) – ECET 2026

Integration is one of the most important topics in Engineering Mathematics. Almost every year 2–3 direct questions come from basic integration rules and formulas.


⚙️ Concept Notes – Integration Basics

  • Integration is the reverse process of differentiation.
  • Represents the area under a curve.
  • Symbol: ∫ f(x) dx

If

 \frac{d}{dx}(F(x)) = f(x)

then,

 \int f(x), dx = F(x) + C

where C = constant of integration.


⚙️ Basic Rules of Integration

  1. Constant Rule

 \int k , dx = kx + C

Power Rule (n ≠ –1)

 \int x^n , dx = \frac{x^{n+1}}{n+1} + C

Sum/Difference Rule

 \int (f(x) \pm g(x)), dx = \int f(x), dx \pm \int g(x), dx

Constant Multiple Rule

 \int k f(x), dx = k \int f(x), dx


⚙️ Standard Integration Formulas

 \int e^x dx = e^x + C

 \int a^x dx = \frac{a^x}{\ln a} + C, ; a>0, a \neq 1

 \int \frac{1}{x} dx = \ln|x| + C

 \int \sin x , dx = -\cos x + C

 \int \cos x , dx = \sin x + C

 \int \sec^2 x , dx = \tan x + C

 \int \csc^2 x , dx = -\cot x + C

 \int \sec x \tan x , dx = \sec x + C

 \int \csc x \cot x , dx = -\csc x + C

 \int \frac{1}{1+x^2} dx = \tan^{-1}x + C

 \int \frac{1}{\sqrt{1-x^2}} dx = \sin^{-1}x + C


🌟 Examples

Ex 1:

 \int 3x^2 dx = 3 \cdot \frac{x^{3}}{3} + C = x^3 + C

Ex 2:

 \int (\sin x + \cos x) dx = -\cos x + \sin x + C

Ex 3:

 \int e^x dx = e^x + C
