Feb 4, 2018 · The integral of 0 is C, because the derivative of C is zero. Also, it makes sense logically if you recall the fact that the derivative of the function is the function's slope, because any function f …

Dec 15, 2017 · A different type of integral, if you want to call it an integral, is a "path integral". These are actually defined by a "normal" integral (such as a Riemann integral), but path integrals do not seek to …

Answers to the question of the integral of $\frac {1} {x}$ are all based on an implicit assumption that the upper and lower limits of the integral are both positive real numbers.

Today, in my calculus class, we encountered the function e−x2 e x 2, and I was told that it was not integrable. I was very surprised. Is there really no way to find the integral of e−x2 e x 2? Graphing …

Nov 29, 2013 · Wolfram Mathworld says that an indefinite integral is "also called an antiderivative". This MIT page says, "The more common name for the antiderivative is the indefinite integral." One is free …

Sep 27, 2013 · My HW asks me to integrate $\\sin(x)$, $\\cos(x)$, $\\tan(x)$, but when I get to $\\sec(x)$, I'm stuck.

The integral which you describe has no closed form which is to say that it cannot be expressed in elementary functions. For example, you can express $\int x^2 \mathrm {d}x$ in elementary functions …

One possible interpretation: a "normal" integral is simply a line integral where the path is straight and oriented along a particular axis. Thus, as soon as you perform a transformation to the integrand to …

Feb 17, 2025 · The noun phrase "improper integral" written as $$ \int_a^\infty f (x) \, dx $$ is well defined. If the appropriate limit exists, we attach the property "convergent" to that expression and use …

Mar 17, 2015 · A different approach, building up from first principles, without using cos or sin to get the identity, $$\arcsin (x) = \int\frac1 {\sqrt {1-x^2}}dx$$ where the integrals is from 0 to z. With the …
