If a quantity can be integrated is it integrable or integratable? (/integrateable?)
Please verify my spelling if possible!

Is it Integrable or Integratable?

In summary, the correct term for something that can be integrated is "integrable." However, some people also use the term "integratable" which is also considered correct. To check the spelling convention, you can use a search engine and compare the number of pages for each spelling. Regional variations and keywords may also affect the results.

most people say "capable of being integrated," but integrable is also correct.
Edit: dang, too slow!

To check the spelling convention when you're not sure, try this.
1. In G**gle, or your favourite browser, type your mystery word in quotes, and then hit [Enter]. This makes it search on your exact spelling only. Look to see how many pages it finds with that spelling.
2. Now try a different spelling. (It may even suggest an alternative to search). Again, check the page count. What you are looking for is the commonest spelling.
3. Repeat (2) if necessary, for another possible spelling.
Note:
4. There may be regional variations. For example, if you want the UK spelling, add uk in the G**gle search box, (but not within the quotes), and select the pages from the UK selector.
5. You may want to check within a technological or scientific field, so include a likely keyword that would narrow the search to that field only.
As a Technical Author, I have used this method for some years, and it works!
Good hunting.

What is meant by "Integrable" or "Integratable"?
"Integrable" or "Integratable" refers to a mathematical concept where a function can be integrated, or the area under the curve of the function can be calculated. In other words, it is a measure of how easily a function can be integrated.
What is the difference between "Integrable" and "Integratable"?
The terms "Integrable" and "Integratable" are often used interchangeably, but some mathematicians make a distinction between them. "Integrable" refers to a function that can be integrated using a specific method, while "Integratable" means that a function can be integrated using any method.
What are some examples of "Integrable" or "Integratable" functions?
Some examples of "Integrable" or "Integratable" functions include polynomials, trigonometric functions, exponential functions, and logarithmic functions. These functions have well-defined integrals and can be integrated using various methods.
Why is the concept of "Integrable" or "Integratable" important in mathematics?
The concept of "Integrable" or "Integratable" is important in mathematics because it allows us to calculate the area under a curve and solve various problems in physics, engineering, and other fields. It also plays a crucial role in the development of more complex mathematical theories and concepts.
What are some methods for determining if a function is "Integrable" or "Integratable"?
There are several methods for determining if a function is "Integrable" or "Integratable," such as using the Riemann integral, the Lebesgue integral, or the Cauchy principal value. Other methods include the use of antiderivatives, substitution, and integration by parts.
