Trigonometric substitution in integration is a technique used to simplify integrals involving square roots of quadratic expressions. It relies on the Inverse Function Theorem and requires a bijective function for substitution. By replacing 'x' with trigonometric functions, integrals with forms like √(x²+a²) become more manageable. This method is often combined with other techniques to solve challenging integrals and is crucial for students in advanced calculus.

Definition of Integrable Function
A function is integrable if its integral exists over a given interval, meaning the area under its curve can be calculated.
