Leonhard Euler used it to evaluate the integral / (+ ) in his 1768 integral calculus textbook, [3] and Adrien-Marie Legendre described the general method in 1817. [ 4 ] The substitution is described in most integral calculus textbooks since the late 19th century, usually without any special name. [ 5 ]
For the special antiderivatives involving trigonometric functions, see Trigonometric integral. [ 1 ] Generally, if the function sin x {\displaystyle \sin x} is any trigonometric function, and cos x {\displaystyle \cos x} is its derivative,
For a definite integral, the bounds change once the substitution is performed and are determined using the equation = , with values in the range < <. Alternatively, apply the boundary terms directly to the formula for the antiderivative.
Since sinc is an even entire function (holomorphic over the entire complex plane), Si is entire, odd, and the integral in its definition can be taken along any path connecting the endpoints. By definition, Si(x) is the antiderivative of sin x / x whose value is zero at x = 0, and si(x) is the antiderivative whose value is zero at x = ∞.
If the function f does not have any continuous antiderivative which takes the value zero at the zeros of f (this is the case for the sine and the cosine functions), then sgn(f(x)) ∫ f(x) dx is an antiderivative of f on every interval on which f is not zero, but may be discontinuous at the points where f(x) = 0.
For a complete list of integral formulas, see lists of integrals. In all formulas the constant a is assumed to be nonzero, and C denotes the constant of integration. For each inverse hyperbolic integration formula below there is a corresponding formula in the list of integrals of inverse trigonometric functions.
At this point we can either integrate directly, or we can first change the integrand to 2 cos 6x − 4 cos 4x + 2 cos 2x and continue from there. Either method gives Either method gives ∫ sin 2 x cos 4 x d x = − 1 24 sin 6 x + 1 8 sin 4 x − 1 8 sin 2 x + C . {\displaystyle \int \sin ^{2}x\cos 4x\,dx=-{\frac {1}{24 ...
For a complete list of integral functions, see lists of integrals. Throughout this article the constant of integration is omitted for brevity. Integrals involving r = √ a 2 + x 2
