What are the standard integrals?
Show answer
Reverse the standard derivatives:
What are definite integrals of these functions?
Show answer
The same standard results apply to definite integrals: integrate first, then substitute the upper and lower limits and subtract. For exponentials and trigonometric functions this often produces neat exact values, such as 0πsinxdx=[cosx]0π=2\int_0^{\pi} \sin x\,dx = [-\cos x]_0^{\pi} = 2, which examiners expect to be left exact rather than rounded.
What is checking by differentiating?
Show answer
Since integration reverses differentiation, differentiate your answer to confirm it returns the integrand. This quickly exposes a dropped minus sign on a sine, a missing modulus on a logarithm, or a forgotten inner-coefficient division on a composite.
