Integration
Integration
Integration is the opposite of differentiation.

Integration
Integration
- To integrate , add one to the power of x and divide by the new power.
- Terms with no powers of differentiate to nothing.
- So we must add an extra unknown "constant of integration" after we integrate:
- This rule only works for .

Example
- If , then .
- If , then .
- So if we integrate , we have to add the extra term:

Constant of integration
Constant of integration
- To find the constant of integration, we need to know a value of for a specific value of .
- Substitute these values into the equation after integrating and rearrange for .

Example
Example
- What is the equation of the curve that has gradient and passes through the point ?
- The gradient of a curve is equal to the differential of the equation of the curve, so we must integrate the gradient to get the equation of the curve.
