Integral formulas are basic tools in calculus that make it easier to calculate integrals, which are needed to solve problems that involve areas, volumes, and adding up numbers. Integral formulas give you a methodical way to check integrals, no matter if they are definite or undefined. They include many different methods and rules, like the Fundamental Theorem of Calculus, which connects the ideas of differentiation and integration. Other examples are partial fractions, substitution, and integration by parts. Learning these formulas not only makes hard sums easier, but it also helps us understand the basic ideas behind math better. Integral formulas are very important for both academic and practical uses because they are used a lot in physics, engineering, economics, and many other fields.

Integral Formulas for Different Functions

Let’s learn all the integration formulas for different functions now.

Rational functions

Below are the integration formulas for rational functions.

∫ 1 dx = x + C
∫ a dx = ax+ C
∫ (1/x) dx = ln |x| + C

Irrational functions

Let’s see the integration formulas for irrational functions.

Trigonometric functions

Integration formulas for trigonometric functions are listed below:

∫ sin x dx = – cos x + C
∫ cos x dx = sin x + C
∫ sec2x dx = tan x + C
∫ csc2x dx = -cot x + C
∫ sec x (tan x) dx = sec x + C
∫ csc x ( cot x) dx = – csc x + C
