Integration strategy

Integration strategy

1. STEP ONE

   • IF IT'S POSSIBLE, SIMPLIFY THE INTEGRAND
     • algebraic manipulation
     • TRIGONOMETRIC IDENTITIES

2. STEP TWO

   • SEARCH FOR AN OBVIOUS SITUATION
     • By using substituition

3. STEP THREE

   • is the integrand a rational expression integrand a polynomial divided by a polynomial?
     • USE PARTIAL FRACTION!
   • is the integrand a polynomial times a trigonometric function exponential or logarithm
     • USE INTEGRATION BY PARTS!
   • is the integrand a product of sin and cos, sec and tan or cot and csc?
     • USE INTEGRATION IDENTITIES!
