Definite integral bounds
Leave one bound blank for only the indefinite integral.
Result
∫ f(x) dx

Step‑by‑step working
- For 3x^2, use power rule for integrals: ∫ a x^n dx = a x^(n+1)/(n+1). Here a = 3, n = 2, so the antiderivative term is 1x^3.
- For 2x, use power rule for integrals: ∫ a x^n dx = a x^(n+1)/(n+1). Here a = 2, n = 1, so the antiderivative term is 1x^2.
- For −-5, use power rule for integrals: ∫ a x^n dx = a x^(n+1)/(n+1). Here a = -5, n = 0, so the antiderivative term is -5x^1.
How to use this tool
- Write your integrand as a polynomial in x using powers with ^, or choose an example expression.
- Review the symbolic antiderivative F(x) + C and the power-rule step breakdown.
- Optionally set bounds a and b, then copy or download the integral report.

- Readable step-by-step integral explanations plus parse diagnostics for unsupported terms.
FAQ
- Can this step-by-step integral calculator integrate 1/x or trig functions?
- This mode focuses on polynomial power-rule integrals. Terms like 1/x, trig functions, exponentials, or roots require additional rules and are flagged in diagnostics.
- Does order of terms matter in the integrand?
- No. The calculator will parse your sum of terms and present the antiderivative in a cleaned, highest-power-first form.
- Is numeric integration or approximation available?
- For polynomials, the exact definite integral is computed via the antiderivative, which is more accurate and reliable than approximate numerical methods for these functions.
