Power rule for integration
Gives the antiderivative of a power of x by raising the exponent by one and dividing by the new exponent. It is used for integrating polynomials and other power functions, except when the exponent is -1.
\int x^{n}\,dx=\frac{x^{n+1}}{n+1}+C,\quad n\neq -1What the symbols mean
| the variable of integration | |
