Explain U-substitution.
Substitute part of the integrand with 'u', find du, rewrite the integral in terms of 'u', integrate, and substitute back to 'x'.
Explain the importance of '+ C'.
Represents the constant of integration because the derivative of a constant is zero.
When is long division useful in integration?
When integrating rational functions where the degree of the numerator is greater than or equal to the denominator.
Explain completing the square.
A method to rewrite a quadratic expression into a perfect square trinomial plus a constant, facilitating integration.
How do trigonometric identities help with integration?
They simplify complex trigonometric expressions into forms that are easier to integrate.
When to use U-substitution?
When the integrand contains a composite function and its derivative (or a multiple thereof).
What is the first step in U-substitution?
Choose a suitable 'u' that simplifies the integral.
What is the goal of selecting techniques for antidifferentiation?
To choose the correct method to find the antiderivative of a given expression.
