A Integration as the Reverse Process of Differentiation
Given the derivative of a function, we often need to find the original function.
For example, the derivative of the function “𝑥 ) ” is “3𝑥 ( ”.
Then we say the primitive function of “3𝑥 ( ” is “𝑥 ) ”.

B Basic Integration Rules derived from Differentiation Rules
In English, we say if the derivative of 𝐹(𝑥) is 𝑓(𝑥), then 𝐹(𝑥) is the primitive function of 𝑓(𝑥).

E Integration by Substitution
Suppose we are given an integral ò f ( x ) dx , where f ( x ) is difficult to integrate, we could use a given
substitution equation to simplify the integrand.
dI
ò
Let I = f( x) dx. Then
dx
= f( x).
1 1 1
Assume that x is a function of u (a new variable) e.g. f( x) = 2
= 2
= 2 , where u = 2 x.
4x + 1 (2 x) + 1 u + 1
By applying the chain rule, we have
dI dI dx
= ×
du dx du
dx
= f( x) ×
du
Next, integrating w.r.t. u, we have
dI dx
ò du du = ò f( x) × du du
dx
ò du du
I = f( x) ×
dx
i.e. ò f( x) dx = ò f( x) du
du
dx
Hence, du and dx are equivalent operators.
