How to Integrate? | A Practical Step-by-step Approach
The main task for evaluating a definite or indefinite integral is to find an antiderivative of the integrand. To do that, the integrand needs to be simplified so that an antiderivative can be figured out easily. But which technique should be used? It is actually pretty challenging.
This calculus tutoring video provides a practical step-by-step guide for choosing a suitable technique for simplifying a given integral so that an antiderivative can be easily recognized. These techniques include 1) manipulation of the integrand, 2) substitution, 3) trigonometric substitution, 4) integration by parts, and 5) partial fractions.
