Three methods for integrating quadratic functions

Quadratic functions are functions in the form ax^2+bx+c=0. Integrating functions that include a quadratic can sometimes be a little difficult. There are three methods we’ll use to evaluate quadratic integrals: substitution, partial fractions, and trigonometric substitution. You should try using these techniques in the order listed above, because substitution is the easiest and fastest, and trigonometric substitution is the longest and most difficult.
