Integral Table — Integration Formulas Reference

A complete integration formula reference — the integral table students actually use. Includes basic antiderivatives, trig and inverse trig, exponential and log, plus standard techniques like u-substitution and integration by parts. The constant of integration C is implied for indefinite integrals.

Basic Integrals

Power Rule
xndx=xn+1n+1+C(n1)\int x^n\,dx = \frac{x^{n+1}}{n+1} + C \quad(n \ne -1)
Reciprocal
1xdx=lnx+C\int \frac{1}{x}\,dx = \ln|x| + C
Constant Multiple
cf(x)dx=cf(x)dx\int c\,f(x)\,dx = c\int f(x)\,dx
Sum/Difference
[f(x)±g(x)]dx=fdx±gdx\int [f(x) \pm g(x)]\,dx = \int f\,dx \pm \int g\,dx
