CLEP Calculus offers students the opportunity to demonstrate their understanding of calculus concepts and applications, enabling them to earn college credit.
Some functions are easy to integrate, but others need clever tricks!
Look at the integral and decide if substitution will simplify it, or if it matches an integration by parts pattern.
These techniques are like tools in a toolbox—the more you use them, the better you get!
To integrate \( \int x e^x , dx \), use integration by parts.
Rewrite \( \int \frac{1}{x^2 + x} , dx \) using partial fractions.
Special techniques help solve tricky integrals that basic rules can’t handle.
