Step-by-step solution

Antiderivatives come from integration rules (power, substitution, by parts, partial fractions, trig identities) and each one is verified by differentiating it back. Definite and improper integrals are exact when possible and always checked with adaptive Gauss-Kronrod and tanh-sinh quadrature.

About Integral Calculator

The integral calculator finds antiderivatives step by step with the methods taught in calculus courses: power rule, standard integrals, u-substitution, integration by parts (including the e^x sin x case), partial fractions with polynomial division, and trigonometric identities.

Every antiderivative is checked by differentiating it back before it is shown. When no rule applies, a full computer algebra engine is loaded on demand, and its answer is verified the same way.

For definite and improper integrals, with bounds such as 0 and pi or -inf and inf, the exact value is computed when possible and always confirmed by adaptive Gauss-Kronrod and tanh-sinh quadrature, with an error estimate. The graph shades the signed area.

How to use Integral Calculator

  1. Choose Indefinite or Definite.
  2. Type the function, for example x e^x or 1/(x^2 - 1). A trailing dx is optional.
  3. For a definite integral, enter the bounds: numbers, pi, e, inf or -inf.
  4. Read the result with + C, or the exact and decimal value of the definite integral.
  5. Open the steps to see each method used, and check the shaded area on the graph.

Frequently asked questions

Power rule, table integrals, linear and general u-substitution, integration by parts (repeated when needed), partial fractions with polynomial long division, and trigonometric identities for powers of sine and cosine.

Switch to Definite and type inf or -inf as a bound. The calculator transforms the infinite range and reports whether the integral converges.

Some functions, such as sin(x)/x, have no elementary antiderivative. The tool says so, and the definite mode still gives an accurate numeric value with an error estimate.

Two independent quadrature rules are used and compared. For smooth functions the error is usually below 1e-12, and the estimate is shown under the result.

The integral of 1/x is ln|x| + C, so absolute values keep the result valid for negative x as well. Constants of integration are written as + C.
