This chapter covers two techniques for finding indefinite integrals: integration by substitution and integration by parts. The former is used when the integral can be transformed into the derivative of a known function, while the latter is used when the integral can be expressed as the product of two functions. Examples and solutions for each technique.

We know that the derivative of a function is obtained by the Chain rule: , that is let , then
. Therefore, if we have a function of the form , then the indefinite integral (anti-derivative) is , that is . Example 6.1. Find. Solution 6.1. Put. Therefore, this implies that . Example 6.1. (i) Evaluate (i) and (ii). Solution 6.1. (i) Put. Therefore, this implies that =. (ii) Example 6.1.
, put. This implies that . Example 6.1. Evaluate , put. We know that when
. This implies that .
Suppose and are functions of , that is and , then . Example 6.2. Evaluate i) ii) Solution 6.2.
