Antiderivatives — Practice Problems and Worked Solutions
Run the power rule in reverse. Don't forget the + C.
The formulas you need here
Reverse power rule
- What it says
- Add one to the power, then divide by the new power.
- When to reach for it
- Every polynomial term, and every root or reciprocal rewritten as a power.
- Watch out
- n = −1 is excluded, because it would divide by zero. That case is ln|x| + C instead.
Differentiate your answer to check — it should give the integrand back.
Standard integrals
- What it says
- The derivative table, read backwards.
- When to reach for it
- Whenever the integrand already matches a derivative you know.
- Watch out
- The absolute value in ln|x| is not decoration — 1/x is defined for negative x too.
The minus sign moves to the other side when the rule is reversed.
