TECHNIQUES OF INTEGRATION
(TC Chapters 5.5, 5.6 and 8)
Various techniques will be taught in this chapter, the difficulty will be deciding which technique
to use.
1.1
Simple Techniques TC 8.2
“Turning a product into a sum”
Recall:
• cos 2A = 2 cos2 A − 1
⇒
cos2 A = 21 (1 + cos 2A)
• cos 2A = 1 − 2 sin2 A
⇒
sin2 A = 21 (1 − cos 2A)
•
+
sin(A − B) = sin A cos B − cos A sin B
sin(A + B) = sin A cos B + cos A sin B
⇒
• Similarly
sin(A − B) + sin(A + B) = 2 sin A cos B

sin(A − B) + sin(A + B)
sin A cos B =

cos A cos B =

Differentials
dy
If y = f (x), then
= f ′ (x) ⇒ dy = f ′ (x)dx, when dy is called the
dx
differential of y.
Recall: ∆y = change in y, not to be confused.
In the chain rule, we are cancelling the differentials

E8. Prove that 0 f (sin 2θ)dθ = 0 f (sin θ)dθ for a general function f , by first substituting
φ = 2θ , next splitting the integral into one from 0 to π2 and one from π2 to π, and finally
substituting θ = φ in the first integral and θ = π − φ in the second one.
E9. The indefinite integral of ln sin θ cannot be found by any method, but the definite integral
R π/2
R π/2
from 0 to π2 can be evaluated as follows. Let I = 0 ln sin θdθ and J = 0 ln sin(2θ)dθ.
Use the double angle formula and Question 7 to show that J = π2 ln 2 + 2I, and use
Question 8 to show that J = I. Hence I = − π2 ln 2.

Indirect substitution TC 8.3
We shall look at an indirect substitution, where
ORIGINAL variable = (trigonometric) function of NEW variable.
Recall:
• sin2 θ + cos2 θ = 1, sin2 θ = 1 − cos2 θ, cos2 θ = 1 − sin2 θ.
• 1 + tan2 θ = sec2 θ, tan2 θ = sec2 θ − 1, 1 − sec2 θ = − tan2 θ.
• how to “complete the square” method.

roots of quadratic functions such as a − x , a + x or x − a2 , since the square trigonometric identities and the reference right angle triangles allow us to transform the integrals into
integrals we can evaluate directly.
With x = a tan θ,
a2 + x2 = a2 + a2 tan2 θ = a2 (1 + tan2 θ) = a2 sec2 θ.
With x = a sin θ,
a2 − x2 = a2 − a2 sin2 θ = a2 (1 − sin2 θ) = a2 cos2 θ.
With x = a sec θ,
x2 − a2 = a2 sec2 θ − a2 = a2 (sec2 θ − 1) = a2 tan2 θ.

To turn quadratics into trig functions we complete the square and compare with the trig
identities to determine which would be most useful.

2.1
General Curves in a Plane TC 11.1
So far we have used explicit equations of the form y = f (x) to describe curves in a plane.
Example 2.1.1.
y=
x2 + x − 1
,
x+3
y = 2 sin x + cos x, . . . .
For each x there is only one y.
Explicit form cannot cope with curves that have loops or doubled back on itself.
We need equation of the form
f (x, y) = constant
in an implicit form.
Example 2.1.2. (conic forms: seen in MATH1042 Chapter 4 of algebra)
(x + 1)2 (y + 2)2
−
= 1, y sin xy = 1, . . . .

dy
π
Example 2.1.3. Show that P 12
, 2 lies on the curve y sin xy = 1 and find dx
at that point.
x2 + y 2 = 4,
Another way is to express x and y in terms of a 3rd independent variable, called a parameter,
t say, or θ.
x = x(t)
called parametric equations.
y = y(t)

Example 2.1.4. Polar eq. x = r cos θ, y = r sin θ where the parameter is θ.
y(θ)
= tan θ, then the parametric equations are polar equations (which have been done
x(θ)
in algebra).
If
Often t is used for parameter, so that
x = x(t) and y = y(t) describe the path of a particle that
at time t is at position x(t), y(t) .
In vector form we write r = r(t)
i.e.: (x, y) = x(t), y(t) = displacement vector
ṙ = (ẋ, ẏ) = velocity vector
dy
The slope of a curve given in parametric form, using the chain rule is given by dx

Horizontal tangents occur when dx

Vertical tangents occur when ẋ = 0 and ẏ 6= 0, dx
is undefined.
If we have ẋ = 0 AND ẏ = 0, we have a CUSP or KINK.
. . . the particle is at rest
Since x(t) gives the horizontal position of the particle, ẋ gives the horizontal change: negative for left and positive for right. Similarly y(t) gives the vertical position of the particle, so
ẏ gives the vertical change: negative for down and positive for up.

Method for sketching curves in parametric form
x = x(t),
y = y(t)
• Find x − y intercepts, by putting solving y(t) = 0 and substituting the values for t into
x(t) and repeat for x(t) = 0.
• Determine behaviour of x(t) and y(t) as t → ±∞.
(unless domain is restricted).
• Find critical points by solving
ẋ(t) = 0, ẏ(t) = 0, both = 0 CUSP
v.t.
h.t.
• Make a table showing the signs of ẋ and ẏ and the direction of travel.
E.g. the 4 possible directions are:

Another application
Theorem 2.3.1. Suppose we have a POLAR CURVE, r = r(θ), with vector form r = (r cos θ, r sin θ).
Let α = angle between position vector and tangent vector at a point P on the curve: then
r
tan α = , ṙ 6= 0.

Note: If ṙ = 0, then tan α is undefined, hence α = π2 ∴
r = constant

through the given points.

(a) r = (cos t, sin2 t) (−π < t ≤ π). Points (1, 0) and (− 21 , 34 ).
(b) r = (t2 − 1, (t − 1)2 ). Points (0, 0), (0, 4), and (3, 1).
(c) r = (t3 − t, cos πt). Points (0, 1) and (0, −1).
D2. For each of the following curves in parametric form,
(i)
find cuts on axes (y = 0 and x = 0),
(ii) find what happens to x and y as the parameter tends to ±∞ (unless the parameter
values are restricted),
(iii) find points with horizontal or vertical tangents (ẏ = 0 or ẋ = 0),
(iv) draw up a table of signs of ẋ and ẏ, including arrows to show direction of travel,
(v) plot all points found in (i) and (iii), labelling them with the parameter value,
(vi) join up the points, checking that the direction of travel agrees with the results from
(ii) and (iv).
(a) x = 6 cos θ + cos 3θ, y = 6 sin θ + sin 3θ (−π ≤ θ ≤ π). Hint: in finding intercepts
and tangents it may be helpful to remember that sin 3θ = 3 sin θ − 4 sin3 θ and
cos 3θ = −3 cos θ + 4 cos3 θ. Note that θ is not the polar co-ordinate of the point
(x, y). Why not? (The curve is the dumbbell shape of a Wankel engine.)
(b) x = cos θ(1 + 2 sin2 θ), y = 2 sin3 θ (− π2 ≤ θ ≤ π2 ). Again prove that θ is not the
polar co-ordinate of (x, y). (This is the caustic curve formed when light is reflected
in a semicircular mirror. Look inside a cylindrical coffee mug. There is a cusp that
becomes the focus if only a small part of the mirror is used.)

(c) x = 53 t5 − 5t3 + 12t, y = 10/(t2 + 1).
(g) x = t3 − 3t, y = 4te−t /8 .
(e) x = t3 − 3t, y = 10/(t2 − 2t + 2).
(i)
(d) x = t3 − 3t, y = 10/(t2 + 1).
(f)
x = t3 − 3t, y = 10/(t2 − 4t + 5).
2
(h) x = t3 − 3t, y = 8te−t /2 .
2
x = t3 − 3t, y = 16te−2t .
The last six curves go together in threes, and illustrate how by changing a constant one
can change a simple curve (i.e. a curve that does not cross itself) into one with a cusp,
and then into one with a loop. Think of a plane doing aerobatics: with too little power

Curved surface area TC 6.4 and 11.2
If you rotate a region in the plane that is bounded by the graph of a function over an interval,
it sweeps out a solid of revolution as we saw in chapter 4. If you rotate only the bounding curve
itself, it does not sweep out any interior volume, but rather a surface that surrounds the solid
and forms part of its boundary.
As an arc P Q of the curve rotates about the axis it sweeps out a band that we can approximate as a frustum of a cone. The surface is a union of bands like the one swept out by P Q
(see TC 6.4 for detailed explanation).
Using the formula for the surface area of a frustum and a Riemann Sum to sum the union
of bands, we get the formula for the Curved Surface Area of an explicitly given curve y = f (x)
rotated about the x-axis as

Higher Approximation (Taylor Polynomials) TC 10.8
Suppose we have a function, which is continuous at x = 0, and also differentiable at x = 0. We
can find a 1st approximation to f (x),using the definition of the derivative.
f (x) − f (0)
≈ f ′ (0)
x−0
so that f (x) ≈ f (0) + xf ′ (0). This represents the equation of a straight line through (0, f (0))
and the gradient f ′ (0). This line is the tangent to the curve at x = 0
We have a polynomial of degree 1, called 1st approximation, which has the same value as f at
0 and has the same 1st derivative at 0. So, near x = 0, this polynomial approximates f (x).
We shall call this polynomial P1 (x).
So P1 (x) = f (0) + xf ′ (0) where P1 (0) = f (0) and P ′ 1 (0) = f ′ (0)
Similarly we define the 2nd approximation to f (x) near x = 0 to be a polynomial of degree 2,
i.e. a quadratic with the same value, 1s t derivative and 2nd derivative at x = 0.

Let P2 (x) = A + Bx + Cx2 . We need P2 (0) = f (0), P ′ 2 (0) = f ′ (0) and P ′′ 2 (0) = f ′′ (0).
P2 (0) = f (0) gives A = f (0)
P ′ 2 (0) = f ′ (0) gives B = f ′ (0)
P ′′ 2 (0) = f ′′ (0) gives 2C = f ′′ (0) ⇒ C = 21 f ′′ (0)
So our 2nd approximation is P2 (x) = f (0) + f ′ (0)x + 12 f ′′ (0)x2
This process can be done for a cubic polynomial.
Let P3 (x) = A + Bx + Cx2 + Dx3
P3 (0) = f (0) ⇒ A = f (0)
P ′ 3 (0) = f ′ (0) ⇒ B + 2Cx + 3Dx2 x=0 = B = f ′ (0)
P ′′ 3 (0) = f ′′ (0) ⇒ 2C + 6Dx x=0 = f ′′ (0) ⇒ C = 21 f ′′ (0)
P ′′′ 3 (0) = f ′′′ (0) ⇒ 6D = f ′′′ (0) ⇒ D = 16 f ′′′ (0)
So our 3rd approximation is P3 (x) = f (0) + f ′ (0)x + 21 f ′′ (0)x2 + 16 f ′′′ (0)x3
Note: Pn+1 (x) is Pn (x) plus an extra term.
The fourth approximate will be of the form P4 (x) = A + Bx + Cx2 + Dx3 + Ex4 :
P4 (x) = f (0) + f ′ (0)x + 12 f ′′ (0)x2 + 16 f ′′′ (0)x3 +?f ′′′′ (0)x4 ,
where ? satisfies P ′′′′ (0) = f ′′′′ (0) which implies 4 · 3 · 2E = f ′′′′ (0), so E =

As n → ∞, and we get an exact value for f (x) near x = 0
We then get a polynomial of infinite degree, i.e. an infinite series, called Maclaurin Series, after
the Scottish mathematician Colin Maclaurin (1698 - 1746).

Taylor Series TC 10.8
We have looked at series and approximations near x = 0 . We shall now look at series near
x = a. These are infinite series, they are the limit of the nth approximation as n → ∞.
They are called TAYLOR SERIES about x = a.
They are of the form

Convergence of Series I, TC 10.2
Convergence
and divergence of series were introduced in MATH1042 Algebra Chapter 3. A
P
series
an is said to converge to the number S if the partial sums a1 + a2 + · · · + aN tend to
S as N → ∞. Roughly speaking, this means that the more terms you add on, the closer you
get to the number S, which is sometimes called the sum to infinity.
Example 3.6.1. Consider the series
N
X
an .
n=1
st
1 partial sum =a1
2nd partial sum =a1 + a2
3rd partial sum =a1 + a2 + a3
..
.
N th partial sum =a1 + a2 + a3 + · · · + aN
Now, if the partial sums tend to S as N → ∞, that is
a1 + a2 + a3 + · · · + aN → S as N → ∞,
then
P
an is said to converge to S and S is called the sum to infinity.
Note:
1010
1. When you are taking a partial sum, even for N 10 , you are omitting infinitely many
terms, i.e. more than you are taking, so convergence is determined by the tail of the series.
2. A partial sum must always be finite, but the sum to infinity might not be.
A series that does not converge is said to diverge. We shall describe some tests to determine
whether or not a series converges. They are important because not many sums to infinity can
be found exactly. We often use a computer to approximate a sum to infinity by the partial
sum for say N = 100 or N = 1000. This is called truncating the series, but it is meaningless
if the series does not converge. Even if the series converges it is valuable to know how fast it
converges, so we can estimate the truncation error, which is the difference between the sum to
infinity and the partial sum.

difference between the sum to infinity and the partial sum:

n=N +1
Note: In testing for convergence it is only the infinite tail of the series that matters. We can
ignore any number of terms at the beginning, because a finite sum must have a finite value and
therefore cannot affect the overall convergence or divergence, though it obviously does affect
the sum to infinity if it exists.
3.6.1
The divergence test
A necessary condition for convergence is that the nth term, an , must tend to 0, that is
an → 0 as n → ∞.
We illustrate the idea as follows:
The partial sums must approach the value S as N → ∞, not necessarily from below, so
the difference between any two successive partial sums must go to zero. But this difference is
precisely aN .

involve exponentials or factorials.

between successive terms tends to a constant.

The conclusion is basically the same as for geometric series except that the borderline L = 1

factorial.
Note: Since this test works with moduli, it can be applied to series with positive, negative

P -series, TC 10.3
We now deal with series for which the ratio test fails, i.e. for which the limit is 1, which are
series involving powers or logs of n. Unfortunately we are restricted to series of positive terms.
The partial sums cannot oscillate: since the terms are all positive, it follows that adding on
an extra term must always increase the value of the partial sum, so the partial sums are always
increasing. So there are only two possibilities: either the partial sums go off to infinity, or they
approach a limiting value.
Thus we have the following lemma:
P
Lemma 3.7.1. If
an is a series with positive terms, then either it converges, or its partial
sums tend to infinity.
The simplest series of this type are where an is a power of n, say an = n1p where p is constant,
which we call p-series.

p ≤ 1 and converges if p > 1.

∂z dx ∂z dy
dz
=

du
∂x du ∂y du
⇒ dz = zx dx + zy dy
gives the differential dz.
∆f = ∆z ≈ zx ∆x + zy ∆y
We have the similar approach as in Chapter 3. We can get a 1st approximation to the change
in z coming from small changes in x and y.
∆f = f (x + ∆x, y + ∆y) − f (x, y) ∴ f (x + ∆x, y + ∆y) = f (x, y) + ∆f.
So,
f (x + ∆x, y + ∆y) ≈ f (x, y) + (zx ∆x + zy ∆y)
where x and y are values where we can evaluate the function such that ∆x and ∆y are
small.

Introduction E&P 1.1 & 1.2
A differential equation (d.e. for short) is any equation that involves derivatives or differentials
(ordinary or partials).
These occur frequently in Science and engineering.
The order of a d.e. is the order of the highest derivative.

y = Ae−t + Be2t . It has 2 arbitrary constants. Whereas y = 3e−t + 4e2t is a particular solution,
where A = 3 and B = 4.
In the above example, we say the second order d.e.
The order of the d.e. corresponds to the number of arbitrary constants in the general
solution.

If the d.e. is of the form n = f (x), the general solution y can easily be found by integrating

Now, if we are given some extra information (often called boundary conditions, or initial
conditions) we can use this information to find the arbitrary constants. This will give the
particular solution.

Variable Separable E & P 1.4
A d.e. is said to be variable separable if it can be written in the form
M (x)dx = N (y)dy.
To solve this we integrate the left hand side with respect to x and the right hand side with
respect to y. Note, the d.e. may first have to be put in the required form, you first have to
separate the variables.

Homogeneous E & P 1.6 (p62)
A differential equation is said to be homogeneous if it is of the form
M (x, y)dx + N (x, y)dy = 0,
where M (x, y) and N (x, y) are functions in x and y, with the SAME total degree. i.e. the total
sum of the exponents of x and y for every term is the same.

Example 5.3.1. (y 2 x2 + xy 3 + xy )dx − (x4 + y 4 + x3/2 y 5/2 )dy = 0 has the same total degree 4.

can be written as a function of v only

Total degree k =⇒ for everyxm y n , m + n = k, so xm (vx)n = xm+n v n = xk v n
Therefore, every term will have xk in the numerator and denominator and it will cancel, leaving
a function in v only.
Example 5.3.3. Let (4x + 5y)dx + (x − 4y)dy = 0. The total degree is 1 everywhere.

5.4.1
Total differential
In order to fully understand EXACT differential equations we first need to look at the partial
chain rule done in Chapter 9.
Suppose f is a function of 2 variables x and y, where x and y are themselves functions of
u. Then by the partial chain rule we saw that
∂f dx ∂f dy
df

If we cancel the differential du we obtain
df =

5.4.2
Definition of an exact d.e.
A d.e. is said to be exact if it is of the form
M (x, y)dx + N (x, y)dy = 0
and if there is a function f (x, y) such that the left hand side of this d.e. is the total differential
of f . i.e.,
M (x, y)dx + N (x, y)dy = df
∂f
∂f
M (x, y)dx + N (x, y)dy =

N (x, y) = fy .

lOMoARcPSD|37628420
Now if we differentiate M (x, y) partially with respect to y and N (x, y) with respect to x,
we obtain:
My (x, y) = fxy
and
Nx (x, y) = fyx
and if we use the fact that the mixed derivatives fxy and fyx are equal we get
My (x, y) = Nx (x, y),
which is called the TEST FOR EXACTNESS. This checks whether the d.e. is exact or not.
This must be done before attempting to solve the d.e.
df
= 0 then f (x, y) must be a constant. So the final general solution is
Finally, if df = 0 or du
of the form f (x, y) = c.
5.4.3
Solving an exact d.e.
We have all the information on how to solve an exact d.e. from the previous subsection.
• We first make sure the d.e. is of the form M (x, y)dx + N (x, y)dy = 0.
• We state what M (x, y) and N (x, y) are equal to.
• We perform the test for exactness and check that My (x, y) = Nx (x, y), if it is then we
process, otherwise we stop and try to relable the d.e.(separable, homogeneous or linear).
• Our aim is now to find f (x, y).
• We write M (x, y) = fx and integrate with respect to x to get f , treating y as a constant.
The constant of integration will be some function of y, say ψ1 (y).
• We do the same thing for N (x, y) = fy . We integrate with respect to y, treating x as a
constant. The constant of integration will be some function of x, say ψ2 (x).
• We end up with two versions of f (x, y), we amalgamate them, making sure equal terms
are not repeated.
• Once f (x, y) is found, the final general solution is just f (x, y) = c.
Example 5.4.1. Solve (6x + 9y + 11)dx + (9x − 4y + 3)dy = 0.
Example 5.4.2. Solve (x2 + y 2 )dx + (2xy + cos y)dy = 0.

Solution: 6x2 − 4xy + 2x + 9y 2 + y = c.

Linear E & P 1.5
A d.e. is said to be LINEAR if it can be written in the form:
dy
+ P (x)y = Q(x),
dx
where P (x) and Q(x) are functions of x only. Note there is only one term in y only, no y 2 etc...
The form may be disguised, for example (P (x)y − Q(x))dx + dy = 0 is a linear d.e..
dy
+ 2y cot x = cos x is linear where
Example 5.5.1. The equation dx
P (x) = 2 cot x and Q(x) = cos x.
5.5.1
Solving a linear d.e.
We aim to transform the linear d.e. into a d.e. that can easily be solved. We first find an
expression called the integrating factor, denoted by µ. It is, for a reason that will be explained
R
µ = e P (x)dx .
Note, that when integrating P (x) no constant is added, this constant gets cancelled later on in
the process. Check it for yourself!
Take the original linear d.e. and multiply each term by µ to obtain
