You’ll learn

  • Integrate powers of x using the power rule ∫xⁿ dx = xⁿ⁺¹/(n+1) + C
  • Add the constant of integration + C to every indefinite integral
  • Rewrite fractions and roots as powers (7/x² = 7x⁻², √x = x^½) before integrating
  • Factorise and cancel quotients like ∫(x²−16)/(x−4) dx — no quotient rule exists
