Discover essential strategies for integrating rational functions using partial fractions. Begin with anti-differentiation and explore u-substitution and inverse trig forms. Encountering extra variables? Complete the square. Learn to apply integration by parts and recognize common forms. We cover three cases for partial fractions: distinct factors, repeating factors, and irreducible quadratics. If the numerator's degree exceeds the denominator's, use long division first. These techniques will empower you to tackle complex integrals with confidence!

7.4 Partial Fractions We integration!
Tips for Integration • Try anti-differentiation first • Try u-substitution • Check for Inverse trig forms • If there is an extra variable in the denominator, try completing the square • Integration by Parts • Check for the common forms • Integration by Partial Fractions • Try 1 of the 3 cases • Use Algebra! • Don’t be afraid to mix multiple techniques in 1 problem!
3 Cases for Partial Fractions • Case I – The denominator has distinct factors • Case II – The denominator has repeating factors • Case III – The denominator has a quadratic that won’t factor • If the degree in the numerator is higher than the degree in the denominator, use long division first.
Case III – The denominator has a quadratic that won’t factor
