Integrating eˣ, 1/x and trigonometric functions
Reversing the new derivatives: $\int e^{ax+b}\,dx$ , $\int\dfrac{1}{ax+b}\,dx$ (the missing case $n=-1$ ), and $\int\sin$ , $\cos$ and $\sec^2$ , always remembering to divide by $a$ .

Integrating (ax + b)ⁿ
How to integrate a power of a linear bracket in one step by reversing the chain rule: raise the power, divide by the new power, and divide by the coefficient of $x$ .
≈ 35 min
Integration using trigonometric identities
Some trigonometric expressions can't be integrated as they stand. Rewriting them with identities, such as $\cos^2x=\tfrac12(1+\cos2x)$ and $\tan^2x=\sec^2x-1$ , turns them into standard integrals.

Exact definite integrals and logarithms
Evaluating definite integrals exactly when the answer involves $e$ , $\ln$ or $\pi$ ; simplifying logarithmic answers; spotting $\dfrac{f'(x)}{f(x)}$ ; and integrating with partial fractions.
