Numeric CAS - Part 9: Indefinite Integrals of Polynomial

Indefinite Integral of a Polynomial

Goal: Determine the coefficients of the indefinite integral of the polynomial p(X) where

p(X) = a_n * x^n + a_(n-1) * x^(n-1) + ... + a1 * x + a0

and

∫ p(X) dX = a_n * x^(n+1) ÷ (n+1) + a_(n-1) * x^n ÷ n + ... + a0 * x + c

Where c is a constant. This constant is determined by the initial condition (x_0, p_0). The programs assume that c = 0, which is common in computer algebraic systems.

Where a_n, a_(n-1), ... , a1, a0 are stored in lists. The coefficients are listed in order of descending powers of x. Use zeros as placeholders.

Example:

∫ -2x^2 + 4x - 6 dx = -2/3 * x^3 + 2x^2 - 6x
Input List: {-2, 4, -6}
Output List: {-2/3, 2, -6, 0} or
{-0.666666667, 2, -6, 0}

∫ x^4 + 3x^2 - x dx = 1/5 * x^5 + x^3 - 1/2 * x^2
Input List: {1, 0, 3, -1, 0}
Output List: {1/5, 0, 1, -1/2, 0, 0} or
{0.2, 0, 1, -0.5, 0, 0}

For all three programs, the input is List 1, the output is List 2.
