List of integrals of irrational functions
The following is a list of integrals (antiderivative functions) of irrational functions. For a complete list of integral functions, see lists of integrals. Throughout this article the constant of integration is omitted for brevity.
Integrals involving r = √a2 + x2
Integrals involving s = √x2 - a2
Assume , for , see next section:
Here , where the positive value of is to be taken.
Integrals involving u = √a2 - x2
Integrals involving R = √ax2 + bx + c
Assume (ax2 + bx + c) cannot be reduced to the following expression (px + q)2 for some p and q.
(Click "show" at right to see a proof or "hide" to hide it.)
First use substitution with so that , and the integral becomes
Then make another substitution with so that the integral becomes
The integral then has the form as given above and can be readily evaluated.
One can also perform the substitutions in a single step with the less apparent choice , giving
Integrals involving S = √ax + b
