Here’s a table summarizing thesubstitution to make in each of the three kinds. The substitution willsimplify the integrand since it will eliminate the square root.

Integration by Trigonometric Substitution Integrals can be referred to as anti-derivatives, because the derivative of the integral of a function is equal to the function. Normally you can see by differentiation that the solution that is found is valid also for #x in (-oo, -a)#Ĭ.The integral is a mathematical analysis applied to a function that results in the area bounded by the graph of the function, x axis, and limits of the integral. #int f(x)dx = int R(asect, atant)sect tant dt# Restrict the function to #x in (a,+oo)# and substitute: #x = asect#, #dx = asect tantdt# with #t in (0,pi/2)# and use the trigonometric identity:Ĭonsidering that for #t in (0,pi/2)# the tangent is positive: Let #f(x)# be a rational function of #x# and #sqrt(x^2-a^2)#: #int f(x)dx = int R(atant, asect)sec^2t dt#ī. Substitute: #x = atant#, #dx = asec^2tdt# with #t in (-pi/2,pi/2)# and use the trigonometric identity:Ĭonsidering that for #t in (-pi/2,pi/2)# the secant is positive: Let #f(x)# be a rational function of #x# and #sqrt(x^2+a^2)#: In general trigonometric substitutions are useful to solve the integrals of algebraic functions containing radicals in the form #sqrt(x^2+-a^2)# or #sqrt(a^2+-x^2)#.
