IB AA SL: core and optional content
Core: integration involving sine and cosine and the prescribed reverse-chain forms. Optional: formulae that assume sec notation.
Angles are in radians; \(a\ne0\). Use intervals where the integrand is defined.
Integration reverses the following derivatives.
\(\dfrac{\mathrm{d}}{\mathrm{d}x}\sin x=\cos x\qquad\int\cos x\,\mathrm{d}x=\sin x+C\)
\(\dfrac{\mathrm{d}}{\mathrm{d}x}\cos x=-\sin x\qquad\int\sin x\,\mathrm{d}x=-\cos x+C\)
\(\dfrac{\mathrm{d}}{\mathrm{d}x}\tan x=\sec^2x\qquad\int\sec^2x\,\mathrm{d}x=\tan x+C\)
Linear arguments
\(\int\sin(ax+b)\,\mathrm dx=-\dfrac{\cos(ax+b)}a+C\)
\(\int\cos(ax+b)\,\mathrm dx=\dfrac{\sin(ax+b)}a+C\)
\(\int\sec^2(ax+b)\,\mathrm dx=\dfrac{\tan(ax+b)}a+C\)
Sine integrates to negative cosine. If a = 0, integrate the resulting constant when defined.
