Concept understanding — Standard Integral Forms

Ten named integral patterns -- ∫dx/(x2±a2)\int dx/(x^2\pm a^2), ∫dx/x2±a2\int dx/\sqrt{x^2\pm a^2}, ∫dx/a2−x2\int dx/\sqrt{a^2-x^2}, and their generalisations to a full quadratic ax2+bx+cax^2+bx+c under a denominator

or a square root (reduced via completing the square), plus the linear-numerator forms ∫(px+q) dx/(ax2+bx+c)\int (px+q)\,dx/(ax^2+bx+c) and ∫(px+q) dx/ax2+bx+c\int(px+q)\,dx/\sqrt{ax^2+bx+c} (numerator split into a multiple of

the denominator's derivative plus a constant), and the two "integrate the root itself" forms

∫a2±x2 dx\int\sqrt{a^2\pm x^2}\,dx, ∫x2−a2 dx\int\sqrt{x^2-a^2}\,dx -- are each derived once by a trigonometric

substitution and then reused throughout the chapter.
