General rule: ∫xn dx\int x^n \, dx when n≠−1n \neq -1

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

Why n=−1n = -1 excluded from general integration rule

Would cause division by zero (dividing by n+1=0n+1 = 0)

∫x−1 dx\int x^{-1} \, dx equals

ln⁡∣x∣+C\ln|x| + C

What CC represents in indefinite integrals

Constant of integration

Integration reverses which process

Differentiation

Steps for integration

Add 1 to power, divide by new power

Steps for differentiation

Multiply by power, subtract 1 from power

Symbol for integration

∫\int

What an antiderivative is

Result of reversing differentiation

∫abxn dx\int_a^b x^n \, dx formula

bn+1n+1−an+1n+1\frac{b^{n+1}}{n+1} - \frac{a^{n+1}}{n+1}
