To evaluate integrals of the above form, we use the following trigonometrical identities.
2 sin 𝐴 cos 𝐵 = sin(𝐴 + 𝐵) + sin(𝐴 − 𝐵)
2 cos 𝐴 sin 𝐵 = sin(𝐴 + 𝐵) − sin(𝐴 − 𝐵)
2 𝑐𝑜𝑠𝐴 cos 𝐵 = cos(𝐴 + 𝐵) + cos(𝐴 − 𝐵)
2 sin 𝐴 𝑠𝑖𝑛𝐵 = cos(𝐴 − 𝐵) − cos(𝐴 + 𝐵), where 𝐴 > 𝐵

Integration By Partial Fraction:
H
𝑃(𝑥)
A function of the form , where 𝑃(𝑥) and 𝑄(𝑥) are polynomials in 𝑥, is called a rational
EP
𝑄(𝑥)
algebraic function.
ST
If the degree of 𝑃(𝑥) is less than the degree of 𝑄(𝑥), then the function is called proper otherwise
called an improper function/ fraction.
𝑥 4 −3𝑥 3 +4𝑥 2 −2𝑥+1
Consider an improper fraction 𝑥 2 +𝑥+3
(𝑥 2 +𝑥+3)(𝑥 2 −4𝑥+5)+(5𝑥−14)
= 𝑥 2 +𝑥+3
5𝑥−14
= (𝑥 2 − 4𝑥 + 5) + 𝑥 2 +𝑥+3
An improper fraction is expressible as the sum of a polynomial and proper function.
The decomposition or split of proper rational function as the sum of simpler fractions is called
resolution into partial fractions
𝑃(𝑥)
Let 𝑄(𝑥) is a proper function. Depending on the factors of 𝑄(𝑥), three cases arise.
1. To each non–repeated linear factor (𝑎𝑥 + 𝑏) of 𝑄(𝑥), there corresponds a partial fraction of
𝐴
the form 𝑎𝑥+𝑏, where 𝐴 is a constant independent of 𝑥.

At the time of using Partial Fraction degree of the numerator must be less than the degree
of the denominator. Otherwise, Divide and reduce the degree of the numerator.
Students are not able to select which one is a function and which one is its derivative.
Students are not able to identify the first function and second function in integration at
the time of using by parts.
