Indefinite integral definition

General primitive of a function

Indefinite integral output type

A function (not a number)

Constant of integration symbol

CC (or cc)

When to include +C+C in integration

Always for indefinite integrals (not definite integrals)

∫xn dx=?\int x^n \, dx = ? (where n≠−1n \neq -1)

xn+1n+1+C\frac{x^{n+1}}{n+1} + C

∫(ax+b)n dx=?\int (ax+b)^n \, dx = ? (where n≠−1n \neq -1)

(ax+b)n+1a(n+1)+C\frac{(ax+b)^{n+1}}{a(n+1)} + C

Why can't standard form be used when n=−1n = -1?

Would cause division by zero

Key principle for integration

Increase power by 1, divide by new power

Convert x\sqrt{x} to fractional index

x12x^{\frac{1}{2}}

When to expand brackets before integrating

When expansion gives simpler terms to integrate
