01Antiderivatives
Basic antiderivative table
- Antiderivative
- on an interval; .
Linearity
constants
Substitution pattern
set ,
Watch out: only for indefinite integrals; definite integrals evaluate to numbers.
02Parts
Definite parts
- Choose by LIATE: Log, Inverse trig, Algebraic, Trig, Exponential.
- Let remaining factor .
- Find and .
- Apply formula; often repeats for , .
LIATE priority
| Rank | Type |
|---|---|
| 1 | log |
| 2 | inverse trig |
| 3 | algebraic |
| 4 | trig |
| 5 | exponential |
Watch out:Bad choice can make integral worse; avoid picking so is more complicated than .
Ex
, ; , ;
03Trig Integrals
Key identities
used to reduce powers
04Trig Sub
- Substitute; transform .
- Simplify radical using trig identity.
- Integrate in .
- Back-sub with triangle or identities.
Watch out:Need correct -interval for inverse trig back-sub if asked for explicit antiderivative.
Ex
, , denom ; integral
05Partial Fractions
- Proper rational function
- with ; if improper, do long division first.
Linear factors
distinct linear factors
Repeated factor
Irreducible quadratic
and repeated powers analogously
06Area/Volumes
Crossing curves
split at intersections
Disk
slices perpendicular to axis
Washer
hole radius
Shell
slices parallel to axis
Method choice
| axis | common slice |
|---|---|
| about -axis | disks/washers |
| about -axis | shells |
| about -axis | disks/washers |
| about -axis | shells |
Watch out:For washer/disk, radii measured from axis of rotation; outer radius is farther from axis.

FAQ
Questions
About the Calculus II: Integration Techniques sheet and making your own.
- What does this Calculus II: Integration Techniques cheat sheet cover?
- It has 10 sections: Antiderivatives, u-Substitution, Parts, Trig Integrals, Trig Sub, Partial Fractions, Improper, Area/Volumes, Arc Length and Numerical. Together they cover the topics a typical Calculus II: Integration Techniques exam tests, including basic antiderivative table, u-substitution, integration by parts (LIATE) and trigonometric integrals.
- Is the integration techniques cheat sheet free?
- The first part is free to read on this page, with no account needed. The full sheet opens in the app with Unlimited ($4.99 a month or $19 for a semester), where you can edit it, print it or save it as a PDF. It is one US Letter page and prints cleanly in black and white or colour.
- Can I bring this Calculus II: Integration Techniques cheat sheet to my exam?
- Only if your course allows a note sheet, so check the syllabus. This one is a single US Letter page. If your exam allows a different size, such as a 3x5 or 4x6 index card or one page front and back, Cheat Sheet AI makes one at exactly that size from your own lecture notes.
- How accurate is it?
- The sheet was written by our engine from a standard course outline, then a second model fact-checked every formula and statement against it; it corrected 1 statement before publishing. Notation and emphasis vary between courses, so check it against your own lecture notes.
- Can I make a Calculus II: Integration Techniques sheet from my own notes?
- Yes. Upload your lecture slides, notes or study guide and Cheat Sheet AI writes a sheet in your course's notation, sized to exactly the space your exam allows. Your first sheets are free.
