Results 7 to 10 will be generalised in Sections 4.3 and 4.4, but at this stage it is important to
recognise their structure. There are many integrals that have the same denominators as those in

The results of these integrals were found using one of the two general results:

Remember that you can always check your result; differentiating
it should give the integrand (the expression to be integrated).
In C4, you saw how using trigonometric identities often transformed a trigonometric expression
that you could not integrate directly into one that you could. The same technique can be used
with hyperbolic functions.

In these cases algebraic substitutions, such as u = 1 — x? for result 7, do not help, but an
appropriate trigonometric or hyperbolic substitution can be used. The suggested substitutions
below are made so that the two termed expressions in the denominator are transformed into
one, by use of a relevant identity.
H For an integral involving (1 — x?) try x = sin @ or x = tanhu
For an integral involving 1 + x? try x = tan@orx = sinhu
H@ For an integral involving \(1 + x?) try x = sinhu or x = tan@
H For an integral involving (x? — 1) tryx = coshuorx = sec0

Often a method used to integrate a function involving n, usually a power, where n is small, is not
viable as n becomes large. For example, the methods used to find | sin’ x dx, using the double
angle formula for cos 2x to give | sin’x dx = 3 | (1 — cos 2x)dx, to find | sin’ x dx by writing
as | sinx(1 — cos?x)dx, and to find {x?e*dx, by using integration by parts, become increasingly
unwieldy when applied to | sin’x dx and |x"e*dx, as n increases. In such cases it may be possible,
usually by using integration by parts, to relate the given integral in n to a similar integral in
n— 1 (orn — 2, or lower); this relation is called a reduction formula. By repeated application
of the reduction formula the given integral may be reduced to a form where only simple
integration is required.CHAPTER 4
