The following is a list of integrals (antiderivative functions) of logarithmic functions. For a complete list of integral functions, see list of integrals. Note: x > 0 is assumed throughout this article, and the constant of integration is omitted for simplicity.
For the special antiderivatives involving trigonometric functions, see Trigonometric integral. [1] Generally, if the function is any trigonometric function, and is its derivative, = + In all formulas the constant a is assumed to be nonzero, and C denotes the constant of integration.
Integration is the basic operation in integral calculus.While differentiation has straightforward rules by which the derivative of a complicated function can be found by differentiating its simpler component functions, integration does not, so tables of known integrals are often useful.
The restriction on Arg(x) is to avoid a discontinuity (shown as the orange vs blue area on the left half of the plot above) that arises because of a branch cut in the standard logarithm function ( ln ). Ci(x) is the antiderivative of cos x / x (which vanishes as ).
Using Euler's formula, any trigonometric function may be written in terms of complex exponential functions, namely and and then integrated. This technique is often simpler and faster than using trigonometric identities or integration by parts , and is sufficiently powerful to integrate any rational expression involving trigonometric functions.
A formula for computing the trigonometric identities for the one-third angle exists, but it requires finding the zeroes of the cubic equation 4x 3 − 3x + d = 0, where is the value of the cosine function at the one-third angle and d is the known value of the cosine function at the full angle.
Instead of +∞ and −∞, we have only one ∞, at both ends of the real line. That is often appropriate when dealing with rational functions and with trigonometric functions. (This is the one-point compactification of the line.) As x varies, the point (cos x, sin x) winds repeatedly around the unit circle centered at (0, 0). The point
The following is a list of integrals (antiderivative functions) of rational functions. Any rational function can be integrated by partial fraction decomposition of the function into a sum of functions of the form:
