5.2/3 Definite Integral and the Fundamental Theorem of Calculus Wed Jan 20 Do Now 1)Find the area under f(x) = 3 – x in the interval [0,3] using 3 leftendpt rectangles 2)Integrate f(x) = 3 - x
The Definite Integral When working with Riemann Sums, the width of each rectangle does not have to be uniform, but the idea still persists: Exact area under curve =
The Definite Integral The definite integral of f(x) over [a,b], denoted by the integral sign, is the limit of Riemann sums: When this limit, exists, f(x) is integrable over [a,b]
Theorem If f(x) is continuous on [a, b], or if f(x) is continuous with at most finitely many jump discontinuities, then f(x) is integrable over [a, b]
Area above and below x-axis Any area can be bounded by the x-axis and the function: – If the area is above the x-axis, then it is considered positive – If the area is below the x-axis, then it is considered negative

HW Review p.307 #
The Fundamental Theorem of Calculus Part 1 Assume that f(x) is continuous on [a,b]. If F(x) is an antiderivative of f(x) on [a,b], then F(b) – F(a) is considered to be the total change (net change) or accumulation of the function during the interval [a,b]
Notes about FTC1 Notation: We don’t have to worry about + C with definite integrals, because the C’s cancel There’s a calculator function allowed on the AP exam
