5.11 Standard indefinite integrals.

The following are worth remembering:

xndx=xn+1n+1+C  (n-1);\int x^{n}\,dx={{x^{n+1}}\over{n+1}}+C\qquad(n\neq-1);
cosxdx=sinx+C;\int\cos x\,dx=\sin x+C;
sinxdx=-cosx+C;\int\sin x\,dx=-\cos x+C;
1xdx=log|x|+C;\int{{1}\over{x}}dx=\log|x|+C;
exdx=ex+C;\int e^{x}dx=e^{x}+C;
dx1+x2=tan-1x+C.\int{{dx}\over{1+x^{2}}}=\tan^{-1}x+C.

An indefinite integral can always be checked by differentiating.
