When listing the antiderivative that corresponds to each of the inverse trigonometric
functions, you need to use only one member from each pair. It is conventional to use
arcsin x as the antiderivative of 1兾冪1 x 2, rather than arccos x. The next theorem
gives one antiderivative formula for each of the three pairs. The proofs of these
integration rules are left to you (see Exercises 75–77).

Solution This integral does not appear to fit any of the basic integration formulas.
By splitting the integrand into two parts, however, you can see that the first part can be
found with the Power Rule and the second part yields an inverse sine function.

When the leading coefficient is not 1, it helps to factor before completing the
square. For instance, you can complete the square of 2x 2 8x 10 by factoring first.

You can learn a lot about the nature of integration by comparing this list with the
summary of differentiation rules given in the preceding section. For differentiation, you
now have rules that allow you to differentiate any elementary function. For integration,
this is far from true.
The integration rules listed above are primarily those that were happened on
during the development of differentiation rules. So far, you have not learned any rules
or techniques for finding the antiderivative of a general product or quotient, the natural
logarithmic function, or the inverse trigonometric functions. More important, you
cannot apply any of the rules in this list unless you can create the proper du
corresponding to the u in the formula. The point is that you need to work more on
integration techniques, which you will do in Chapter 8. The next two examples should
give you a better feeling for the integration problems that you can and cannot solve with
the techniques and rules you now know.
