Indefinite Integral Formulas
An indefinite integral, also known as an antiderivative, is a function that represents the collection of all antiderivatives of a given function. The process of finding an indefinite integral is called integration, and it is one of the fundamental operations in calculus. Unlike definite integrals, indefinite integrals are not evaluated at specific limits and therefore include an arbitrary constant, typically denoted as C, to account for the family of all antiderivatives.
Note: In all the following formulas, C represents an arbitrary constant of integration.
Exponential Function Integrals
Exponential functions involve the constant e (Euler's number, approximately 2.71828) raised to a variable exponent. The integration of exponential functions follows specific patterns that are useful in various mathematical and scientific applications.
Basic Exponential Integrals
$$\int e^x \, dx = e^x + C$$
$$\int a^x \, dx = \frac{a^x}{\ln(a)} + C \quad \text{(where } a > 0, a \neq 1 \text{)}$$
$$\int e^{ax} \, dx = \frac{1}{a}e^{ax} + C \quad \text{(where } a \neq 0 \text{)}$$
$$\int x e^{ax} \, dx = \frac{(ax - 1)}{a^2}e^{ax} + C \quad \text{(where } a \neq 0 \text{)}$$
$$\int x^n e^{ax} \, dx = \frac{x^n e^{ax}}{a} - \frac{n}{a}\int x^{n-1} e^{ax} \, dx$$
Compound Exponential Integrals

Logarithmic functions involve the logarithm of a variable. These integrals are particularly useful in solving differential equations and modeling growth processes in various fields.
Basic Logarithmic Integrals

$$\int \frac{x}{ax+b} \, dx = \frac{x}{a} - \frac{b}{a^2} \ln|ax+b| + C \quad \text{(where } a \neq 0 \text{)}$$
Advanced Rational Integrals
$$\int \frac{1}{x^2 + a^2} \, dx = \frac{1}{a} \arctan\left(\frac{x}{a}\right) + C \quad \text{(where } a > 0 \text{)}$$
