	The Logistic Equation and Integration by Partial Fractions
		The Logistic Equation and Integration by Partial Fractions
		To go further, we need to integrate the function shown on the right hand side, but for this, we will use a TRICK: this trick is called Partial Fractions and consists of unraveling the quotient into its simpler fractional pieces.
		The usefulness of this idea resides in the fact that these simpler fractions are easily integrated.

		In integral calculus, the use of partial fractions is required to integrate the general rational function.
		Any rational function of a real variable can be written as the sum of a polynomial function and a finite number of partial fractions.
		Each partial fraction has as its denominator a polynomial function of degree 1 or 2, or some positive integer power of such a function.

	Integral - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The ∫ sign represents integration, a and b are the endpoints of the interval, f(x) is the function we are integrating known as the integrand, and dx is a notation for the variable of integration.
		However, modern theories of integration are built from different foundations, and the notation should no longer be thought of as a sum except in the most informal sense.
		Improper integrals usually turn up when the range of the function to be integrated is infinite or, in the case of the Riemann integral, when the domain of the function is infinite.

		However, modern theories of integration are built from different foundations: the notation is no longer thought of as a sum except in the most informal sense, and the dx is more commonly interpreted as a differential form or measure.
		If the domain of the function to be integrated is the real numbers, and if the region of integration is an interval, then the greatest lower bound of the interval is called the lower limit of integration, and the least upper bound is called the upper limit of integration.

		This is useful in solving such recurrences, since using partial fraction decomposition we can write any rational function into a sum of factors of the form 1 / (ax + b) and expand these as geometric series, giving an explicit formula for the Taylor coefficients; this is the method of generating functions.
		In algebra, the partial fraction decomposition or (partial fraction expansion) of a rational function expresses the function as a sum of fractions, where: the denominator of each term is a power of an irreducible (not factorable) polynomial and the numerator is a polynomial of smaller degree than the denominator.

		That leaves us with the sum of an easy integral with one that meets the criterion for partial fractions (and is the same as the one we did in the last paragraph).
		In each of the partial fraction problems we have done so far, the polynomial in the denominator has had distinct real roots (that is real roots that are all different from each other).
		So there must be a partial fraction with that root to the first power and another with that root to the second power, just as we have it in equation 11.7-13b.

	Antiderivative - Definition, explanation
		In calculus, an antiderivative or primitive function of a given real valued function f is a function F whose derivative is equal to f, i.e.
		If F is an antiderivative of f and the function f is defined on some interval, then every other antiderivative G of f differs from F by a constant: there exists a number C such that G(x) = F(x) + C for all x.
		C is called the arbitrary constant of integration.

		So, once we’ve determined that partial fractions can be done we factor the denominator as completely as possible. Then for each factor in the denominator we can use the following table to determine the term(s) we pick up in the partial fraction decomposition.
		To this point we’ve only looked at rational expressions where the degree of the numerator was strictly less that the degree of the denominator. Of course not all rational expressions will fit into this form and so we need to take a look at a couple of examples where this isn’t the case.
		So, in this case the degree of the numerator is 4 and the degree of the numerator is 3. Therefore, partial fractions can’t be done on this rational expression.

	11. Integration By Partial Fractions
		If the integrand (the expression after the integral sign) is in the form of an algebraic fraction and the integral cannot be evaluated by simple methods, the fraction needs to be expressed in partial fractions before integration takes place.
		Before a fractional function can be expressed directly in partial fractions, the numerator must be of at least one degree less than the denominator.
		If a linear factor is repeated n times in the denominator, there will be n corresponding partial fractions with degree 1 to n.

		To put an algebraic fraction into partial fraction form it needs to be made into fractions whose denominators are factors of the original fraction’s denominator.
		If the highest power of the function on the top is greater than or equal to the greatest power on the bottom (once brackets have been multiplied out), then the fraction is ‘improper’ and you must perform a division first before you convert into partial fractions.

	Family: Antiderivative
		Every continuous function f has an antiderivative, and one antiderivative F is given by the integral of f with variable upper boundary: [F(x) = \int_a^x f(t)\,dt] This is another formulation of the fundamental theorem of calculus.
		There are many functions whose antiderivatives, even though they exist, cannot be expressed in terms of elementary functions (like polynomials, exponential functions, logarithms, trigonometric functions, inverse trigonometric functions and their combinations).
		Examples of these are [\int e^{x^2}\,dx,\qquad \int \frac{\sin(x)}{x}\,dx,\qquad \int\frac{1}{\ln x}\,dx] Techniques of integration Finding antiderivatives is considerably harder than finding derivatives.
