Partial Fractions
P x
If integrating dx
Q x where the degree (largest exponent) of P x is smaller than the
degree of Q x then factor the denominator as completely as possible and find the partial
fraction decomposition of the rational expression. Integrate the partial fraction
decomposition (P.F.D.). For each factor in the denominator we get term(s) in the
decomposition according to the following table.

sin
n
x cosm x dx
1. If n is odd. Strip one sine out and convert the remaining sines to cosines using
sin2 x 1 cos2 x , then use the substitution u cos x
2. If m is odd. Strip one cosine out and convert the remaining cosines to sines
using cos2 x 1 sin2 x , then use the substitution u sin x
3. If n and m are both odd. Use either 1. or 2.
4. If n and m are both even. Use double angle formula for sine and/or half angle
formulas to reduce the integral into a form that can be integrated.
tan
n
x secm x dx
1. If n is odd. Strip one tangent and one secant out and convert the remaining
tangents to secants using tan2 x sec2 x 1, then use the substitution u sec x
2. If m is even. Strip two secants out and convert the remaining secants to tangents
using sec2 x 1 tan2 x , then use the substitution u tan x
3. If n is odd and m is even. Use either 1. or 2.
4. If n is even and m is odd. Each integral will be dealt with differently.
Convert Example : cos 6 x cos 2 x 1 sin 2 x
