The techniques of this chapter enable us to find the height of a rocket a minute after liftoff and to compute the escape velocity of the rocket.
Techniques of Integration Because of the Fundamental Theorem of Calculus, we can integrate a function if we know an antiderivative, that is, an indefinite integral. We summarize here the most impor- tant integrals that we have learned so far.

In this chapter we develop techniques for using these basic integration formulas to obtain indefinite integrals of more complicated functions. We learned the most important method of integration, the Substitution Rule, in Section 5.5. The other gen- eral technique, integration by parts, is presented in Section 7.1. Then we learn methods that are special to particular classes of functions such as trigonometric func- tions and rational functions. Integration is not as straightforward as differentiation; there are no rules that absolutely guarantee obtaining an indefinite integral of a function. Therefore, in Section 7.5 we discuss a strategy for integration.
|||| 7.1 Integration by Parts
Every differentiation rule has a corresponding integration rule. For instance, the Substi- tution Rule for integration corresponds to the Chain Rule for differentiation. The rule that corresponds to the Product Rule for differentiation is called the rule for integration by parts. The Product Rule states that if f and t are differentiable functions, then

In the notation for indefinite integrals this equation becomes
y f x t x t x f x dx f x t x
or y f x t x dx y t x f x dx f x t x
We can rearrange this equation as
1 y f x t x dx f x t x y t x f x dx
Formula 1 is called the formula for integration by parts. It is perhaps easier to remem- ber in the following notation. Let u f x and v t x . Then the differentials are du f x dx and dv t x dx , so, by the Substitution Rule, the formula for integration by parts becomes
2 y udv uv y v du
EXAMPLE 1 Find y x sin x dx.
SOLUTION USING FORMULA 1 Suppose we choose f x x and t x sin x . Then f x 1 and t x cos x . (For t we can choose any antiderivative of t .) Thus, using Formula 1, we have y x sin x dx f x t x y t x f x dx
