Step 5

Simplify the Integrand if possible

Look for the Substitution

Identify the type of integral

Is the integrand a rational expression?

Is the integrand a polynomial times a trigonometric functions, exponential and logarithm?

Is the integrand a products of sines and cosines, tangents and secants, cosecants and cotangents?

Does the integrand have a quadratic in it?

Use partial fractions

Use integration by parts

Use substitutions

-Use trigonometric substitution

Use completing the square

Do we need to use multiple techniques?

We can relate the problem with the previous problems.

We need to ask ourselves if it is possible to use multiple techniques.

Try again.

-If everything that you’ve tried to this point doesn’t work then go back through the process and try again.
