# Integration Reverse Chain Rule

By recalling the chain rule, Integration Reverse Chain Rule comes from the usual chain rule of differentiation. This skill is to be used to integrate composite functions such as $$e^{x^2+5x}, \cos{(x^3+x)}, \log_{e}{(4x^2+2x)}$$.
Let’s take a close look at the following example of applying the chain rule to differentiate, then reverse its order to obtain the result of its integration.
\begin{aligned} \displaystyle \frac{d}{dx} \sin{x^2} &= \sin{x^2} \times \frac{d}{dx} x^2 \\ &= \sin{x^2} \times 2x \\ &= 2x \sin{x^2} \\ 2x \sin{x^2} &= \frac{d}{dx} \sin{x^2} \\ \therefore \int{2x \sin{x^2}} dx &= \sin{x^2} +C \\ \end{aligned} \\

### Integration Reverse Chain Rule for Exponential Functions

(a)    Differentiate $$e^{3x^2+2x-1}$$.

(b)    Integrate $$(3x+1)e^{3x^2+2x-1}$$.

### Integration Reverse Chain Rule for Trigonometric Functions

(a)    Differentiate $$\cos{3x^3}$$.

(b)    Integrate $$x^2 \cos{3x^3}$$.

### Integration Reverse Chain Rule for Logarithmic Functions

(a)    Differentiate $$\log_{e} \sin{x}$$.

(b)    Hence, integrate $$\cot{x}$$.

### Quiz for your own Practice

Differentiate $$\displaystyle \log_{e}{\cos{x^2}}$$, hence find $$\displaystyle \int{x \tan{x^2}} dx$$. Have Fun!
