Homework Statement
Can someone give me a very basic breakdown of integrals i read the manual in the tutorials sections and i just don't understand what equations have to be used for each part.
Kurdt said:I take it that was mine. That was meant as an informal reference and not something to be learned from by itself. it does assume a moderate standard of mathematical knowledge before hand.
Schrodinger's Dog said:Aren't there some excellent tutorials on integrals in the Learning & resources/ er forget the name section hold on Maths and science learning materials?

Nicely done Kurdt very well presented.

A general integral question is a type of mathematical question that involves finding the area under a curve. It typically involves an equation with an unknown variable and requires solving for that variable using integration techniques.
A general integral question is different from a regular integral question because it does not have specific limits of integration and instead requires solving for the variable in the equation. Regular integral questions have specific limits of integration and require finding the definite integral.
Some common methods for solving general integral questions include substitution, integration by parts, and partial fractions. These methods involve manipulating the equation to simplify it and then using integration rules to find the solution.
Yes, general integral questions can be solved using a graphing calculator or integration software. However, it is important to understand the concepts and techniques behind solving these questions in order to use the calculator effectively.
You can check your answer for a general integral question by taking the derivative of the solution and comparing it to the original equation. If they are equal, then your solution is correct. You can also use online integral calculators to verify your answer.
