Solving Integrals: Substitution, Algebra, or Direct Integration? - Prof. D. Smith, Study notes of Mathematics

A problem set for recognizing which integration techniques to apply for various integrals. Students will identify whether substitution, algebra or trig identities, or direct integration is necessary for each problem. The set includes one problem from each of the four categories.

Recognizing Integrals
Although the integrals in each group have similarities, they require different
approaches. For each integral decide which of the following is needed: 1)
substitution, 2) algebra or a trig identity, 3) the function can be integrated
as it stands, or 4) the function cannot be integrated by the techniques in
Math 124. Then evaluate each integral (except for the 4th type). Each
problem contain one problem from each of the 4 categories.

Recognizing Integrals

Although the integrals in each group have similarities, they require different

approaches. For each integral decide which of the following is needed: 1)

substitution, 2) algebra or a trig identity, 3) the function can be integrated

as it stands, or 4) the function cannot be integrated by the techniques in

Math 124. Then evaluate each integral (except for the 4th^ type). Each

problem contain one problem from each of the 4 categories.
