Definite Integrals
This final page covers definite integrals and their applications.
Fundamental Theorem of Calculus
The page presents the Fundamental Theorem of Calculus, relating definite integrals to antiderivatives:
∫[a to b] f(x)dx = F(b) - F(a)
Where F(x) is an antiderivative of f(x).
Highlight: The Fundamental Theorem of Calculus provides a powerful method for evaluating definite integrals.
Area Calculation
Techniques are provided for calculating areas using definite integrals:
- Area between a curve and the x-axis
- Area between two curves
Example: The area between f(x) and g(x) from a to b is given by: ∫[a to b] [f(x) - g(x)]dx
Integration Techniques for Definite Integrals
The page reviews integration techniques in the context of definite integrals:
- Substitution method
- Integration by parts
Vocabulary: When using substitution in a definite integral, the limits of integration must be adjusted accordingly.
Trigonometric Integrals
Special techniques are provided for integrating products of sine and cosine functions.
Definition: A trigonometric integral involves products of sine and cosine functions, often solved using half-angle formulas or substitutions.
This comprehensive guide covers essential topics in calculus, providing a valuable resource for students preparing for exams or seeking to master key concepts in mathematical analysis.
