H: Integration

AQA·A-Level

7357

Integration is AQA’s toolkit for rebuilding quantities from rates of change, finding exact accumulated areas and solving simple models. Mastering the method-selection decisions in H1–H8 turns apparently different questions into recognisable mark-scoring routines.

H: Integration: Carry out simple cases of integration by substitution and integration by parts; understand these methods as the inverse processes of the chain and product rules respectively. (Integration by substitution includes finding a suitable substitution and is limited to cases where one substitution will lead to a function which can be integrated; integration by parts includes more than one application of the method but excludes reduction formulae).

AQA·A-Level
