7.1 Antidifferentiation
The derivative of x2 with respect to x is 2x. Conversely, given that an unknown expression has
derivative 2x it is clear that the unknown expression could be x2 . The process of finding a
function from its derivative is called antidifferentiation.

This is read as ‘the general antiderivative of 2x with respect to x is equal to x2 plus c’ or ‘the
indefinite integral of 2x with respect to x is x2 + c’.
To be more precise, the indefinite integral is the set of all antiderivatives and to emphasise
this, it is written as shown.
2x d x = { f (x): f (x) = 2x} = {x 2 + c: c ∈ R}
The set notation is not commonly used but it should be clearly understood that there is not a
unique antiderivative for a given function. The set notation is not used in this text but it is
advisable to keep it in mind when considering further results.
In general, F and f are functions such that:
If F (x) = f (x)
f (x) d x = F(x) + c, where c is an arbitrary real number

The number a is called the lower limit of integration and b is called the upper limit of
integration. The function f is called the integrand.

It has been shown that there are infinitely many graphs defined by f (x) d x.

Solution y
y = f (x) is the gradient graph of y = F(x).
Therefore the gradient of y = F(x) is
always positive. The minimum gradient
is 2 and this occurs when x = −1. There is _1
a line of symmetry x = −1 which indicates x
0
equal gradients for x values equidistant from
x = −1. Also F(0) = 0. A possible graph is shown.
Example 6 y
Solution y
y = f (x) is the gradient graph of y = F(x).
Therefore the gradient of y = F(x) is positive
for x > 2, negative for x < 2 and zero
for x = 2.

Example 9 suggests that a ‘converse’ of the chain rule can be used to obtain a method for
antidifferentiating functions of a particular form.
From Example 9a 20x(2x 2 + 1)4 d x = (2x 2 + 1)5 + c
is of the form 5h (x)[h(x)]4 d x = [h(x)]5 + c where h(x) = (2x 2 + 1)
From Example 9b −3 cos2 x sin x d x = cos3 x + c
is of the form 3h (x)[h(x)]2 d x = [h(x)]3 + c where h(x) = cos x
2 2
For Example 9c 6xe3x d x = e3x + c
is of the form h (x)eh(x) d x = eh(x) + c where h(x) = 3x 2
This method is called the change of variable rule or the method of substitution.

(sin2 x)k sin x = (1 − cos2 x)k sin x. The substitution u = cos x can now be made.
Case B:
If m is even and n is odd, write n = 2k + 1. Then cos2k+1 x can be written
(cos2 x)k cos x = (1 − sin2 x)k cos x and the substitution u = sin x can now be made.

Solution

Sometimes it is essential to reverse the process, i.e. to take an algebraic fraction such as
−x − 8
and express it as the sum or difference of several partial fractions.

e.g. Find A and B such that: ≡ +
(x − 3)(x + 1) x −3 x +1

The symbol ≡ which means ‘is identically equal to’ signifies that the two expressions are
equal for all allowable values of x.
Expressing the right-hand side with a common denominator:
9x + 1 A(x + 1) + B(x − 3)
≡
(x − 3)(x + 1) (x − 3)(x + 1)
which means:
9x + 1 ≡ A(x + 1) + B(x − 3)
Two polynomials of degree n are equal if they coincide for more than n values.
Therefore, if values of A and B are found such that the polynomials 9x + 1 and
A(x + 1) + B(x − 3) are equal for x = −1 and x = 3, they must be equal for all values
of x for these values of A and B. The values that have been chosen are for convenience. The
result can be achieved through a choice of any two values for x.
When x = −1, 9x + 1 = −8 and A(x + 1) + B(x − 3) = −4B.
For the two polynomials to be equal −4B = −8 and therefore B = 2
When x = 3, 9x + 1 = 28 and A(x + 1) + B(x − 3) = 4A
For the two polynomials to be equal 4A = 28 and therefore A = 7
That is, A = 7 and B = 2
9x + 1 7 2
This implies: ≡ +
(x − 3)(x + 1) x −3 x +1
This technique holds for an algebraic fraction with non-repeated linear factors in the
denominator,
an−1 x n−1 + an−2 x n−2 + · · · + a0 A1 A2 An
i.e. ≡ + + ··· +
(x − x1 )(x − x2 )(x − x3 ) . . . (x − xn ) x − x1 x − x2 x − xn
Example 17
9x + 1
Find dx.
(x − 3)(x + 1)
Solution
Using the partial fractions found above:
9x + 1 7 2
≡ +
(x − 3)(x + 1) x −3 x +1
9x + 1 7 2
and thus: dx = dx + dx
(x − 3)(x + 1) x −3 x +1
= 7 loge |x − 3| + 2 loge |x + 1|+ c
Special case 1
If the degree of the denominator is less than or equal to the degree of the numerator, then
division must take place first.
Example 18
x5 + 2 x5 + 2
Express as a partial fraction and hence find d x.

to the degree of Q(x), then the algebraic fraction should be written in the form

where the degree of R(x) is less than the degree of Q(x) before partial fractions are
