[parent] table of integrals (Feature)

Below are some tables of some real-valued functions and their corresponding indefinite integrals.


Polynomials and powers

$f(x)$ $\displaystyle{\int f(x)\, dx}$ derivation
$x^n$ for $n\ne -1$ $\displaystyle{\frac{x^{n+1}}{n\!+\!1}}+C$ here
$x^{-1}$ $\ln|x|+C$  
$|x|^n$ for $n\ne -1$ $\displaystyle\frac{x|x|^n}{n\!+\!1}+C$  
$|x|^{-1}$ $\displaystyle\frac{x\ln|x|}{|x|}+C$  

Exponential and logarithmic functions

$f(x)$ $\displaystyle{\int f(x)\, dx}$ derivation

$e^{kx}$ for $k\neq 0$ $\displaystyle\frac{e^{kx}}{k}+C$  
$a^x$ for $a>0$ $\displaystyle\frac{a^x}{\ln{a}}+C$  
$\ln{x}$ $x\ln{x}-x+C$ here
$(\ln{x})^2$ $x[(\ln{x})^2-2\ln{x}+2]+C$ here
$\displaystyle\frac{1}{\ln{x}}$ $\Li{x}+C$ Li
$\ln(\ln{x})$ $x\ln\ln{x}-\Li{x}+C$ here


Trigonometric functions

$\tan{x}$ $-\ln|\cos{x}|+C$  
$\sec{x}$ $\ln|\sec{x}+\tan{x}|+C$  
$\csc{x}$ $-\ln|\csc{x}+\cot{x}|+C$ here
$\displaystyle\frac{1}{\sin{x}}$ $\displaystyle\ln\left|\tan\frac{x}{2}\right|+C$ here
$\sec^2{x}$ $\tan{x}+C$  
$\csc^2{x}$ $-\cot{x}+C$  
$\sec{x}\tan{x}$ $\sec{x}+C$  
$\csc{x}\cot{x}$ $-\csc{x}+C$  
$\displaystyle\frac{1}{1+x^2}$ $\arctan{x}+C$ here
$\displaystyle\frac{1}{\sqrt{1-x^2}}$ $\arcsin{x}+C$ here


Hyperbolic functions

$f(x)$ $\displaystyle{\int f(x)\, dx}$ derivation
$\cosh{x}$ $\sinh{x}+C$ here
$\sinh{x}$ $\cosh{x}+C$ here
$\tanh{x}$ $\ln(\cosh{x})+C$  
$\coth{x}$ $\ln|\sinh{x}|+C$  
$\sech^2{x}$ $\tanh{x}+C$  
$\csch^2{x}$ $-\coth{x}+C$  
$\sech{x}\tanh{x}$ $-\sech{x}+C$  
$\csch{x}\coth{x}$ $-\csch{x}+C$  


Cyclometric functions

$f(x)$ $\displaystyle{\int f(x)\, dx}$ derivation
$\arccos{x}$ $x\arccos{x}-\sqrt{1-x^2}+C$  
$\arcsin{x}$ $x\arcsin{x}+\sqrt{1-x^2}+C$ here
$\arccot{x}$ $x\arccot{x}+\ln\sqrt{1+x^2}+C$  
$\arctan{x}$ $x\arctan{x}-\ln\sqrt{1+x^2}+C$ here
$\arcsec{x}$ $x\arcsec{x}-\ln(x+\sqrt{x^2-1})+C$  

Some square roots

$f(x)$ $\displaystyle{\int f(x)\, dx}$ derivation
$\sqrt{x}$ $\frac{2}{3}x\sqrt{x}+C$ here
$\sqrt{x^2+1}$ $\displaystyle\frac{x}{2}\sqrt{x^2+1}+\frac{1}{2}\arsinh{x}+C$ here
$\sqrt{x^2-1}$ $\displaystyle\frac{x}{2}\sqrt{x^2-1}-\frac{1}{2}\arcosh{x}+C$ here
$\displaystyle\frac{1}{\sqrt{x^2+1}}$ $\arsinh{x}+C$ here
$\displaystyle\frac{1}{\sqrt{x^2-1}}$ $\arcosh{x}+C\;\; (x > 1)$ here
Remark 1   $C$ above denotes an arbitrary constant real number; $\Li$ is the logarithmic integral.
Remark 2   The antiderivatives may be proven by differentiation; in some cases there are also given a link to a derivation.
Remark 3   Note that the table can only be used to compute a definite integral when the integrand is continuous on the domain of integration. For example, note the following erroneous calculation: $$ \int\limits_{-1}^1 |x|^{-1} \, dx=\frac{x\ln|x|}{|x|}\bigg|_{-1}^1=\frac{1\ln|1|}{|1|}-\frac{-1\ln|-1|}{|-1|}=0-0=0 $$

The above calculation is incorrect since $|x|^{-1}$ is not continuous at $x=0$ .

Instructions on how to add a function and its integral. Open the entry in edit mode. Using the appropriate table for your function (or make a new table if applicable), make a copy of the two lines of comment (starting with %) in the code (within the tabular environment) and paste it immediately before the comment. Uncomment the lines (take out the % symbols) after completing. Preview before saving the entry.
