Idea for problem solving : First approximate the region S by polygons, and then take the limit of the area of these polygons.(see the following example) Example 1 Find the area under the parabola y=x 2 from 0 to 1. y Solution: We start by dividing the interval [0, 1] into n-subintervals with equal length, and consider the rectangles whose bases are these subintervals and whose heights are the values of the function at the right-hand endpoints. ox (1,1) 1/n 1 Figure 2 机动 目录 上页 下页 返回 结束
Then the sum of the area of these rectangles is As n increases, S n becomes a better and better approximation to the area of the parabolic segment. Therefore we define the area A to be the limit of the sums of the areas of these rectangles, that is, Applying the idea of Example 1 to the more general region S of F.1, we introduce the definition of the area as following: Step 1: Partition--Divide the interval [a, b] into n smaller subintervals by choosing partition points x 0, x 1, x 2,…., x n so that a=x 0 < x 1 <x 2 <…< x n =b 机动 目录 上页 下页 返回 结束
Step 2: Approximation—By the partition above, the area of S can be approximated by the sum of areas of n rectangles. This subdivision is called a partition of [a,b] and we denote it by P. Let denote the length of ith subinterval [x i-1, x i ], and ||P|| (the norm of P) denotes the length of longest subinterval. Thus Using the partition P one can divide the region S into n strips (see F.3). Now, we choose a number in each subinterval, then each strip S i can be approximated by a rectangle R i (see F.4). The sum of areas of these rectangles as an approximation is 机动 目录 上页 下页 返回 结束

Step 3: Taking limit—Notice that the approximation appears to become better and better as the strips become thinner and thinner. So we define the area of the region as the limit value (if it exists) of the sum of areas of the approximating rectangles, that is (1) Remark 2: In step 1, we have no need to divided the interval [a,b] into n subintervals with equal length. But for purposes of calculation, it is often convenient to take a partition that divides the interval into n subintervals with equal length.(This is called a regular partition) Remark 1: It can be shown that if f is continuous, then the limit (1) does exist. 机动 目录 上页 下页 返回 结束
Solution Since y=x 2 +1 is continuous, the limit (1) must exist for all possible partition P of the interval [a, b] as long as ||P|| 0. To simplify things let us take a regular partition. Then the partition points are x 0 =0, x 1 =2/n, x 2 =4/n, …, x i =2i/n, …, x n =2n/n=2 So the norm of P is ||P||=2/n Let us choose the point to be the right-hand endpoint: = x i =2i/n By definition, the area is Example 2: Find the area under the parabola y=x 2 +1 from 0 to 2. 机动 目录 上页 下页 返回 结束
Example 3 Find the area under the cosine curve from 0 to b, where Solution We choose a regular partition P so that ||P||=b/n and we choose to be the right-hand endpoint of the ith sub- interval: =x i =ib/n Since ||P|| 0 as n, the area under the cosine curve from 0 to b is Remark 3: If is chosen to be the left-hand endpoint, one will obtain the same answer. 机动 目录 上页 下页 返回 结束

5.3 The Definite Integral In Chapters 6 and 8 we will see that limit of form occurs in a wide variety of situations not only in mathematics but also in physics, Chemistry, Biology and Economics. So it is necessary to give this type of limit a special name and notation. 1. Definition of a Definite Integral If f is a function defined on a closed interval [a, b], let P be a partition of [a, b] with partition points x 0, x 1, x 2,…., x n, where a=x 0 < x 1 <x 2 <…< x n =b 机动 目录 上页 下页 返回 结束

Existence Theorem Theorem If f is either continuous or monotonic on [a, b], then f is integrable on [a, b]; that is, the definite integral exists. Remark 1: If f is discontinuous at some points, then might exist or it might not exist. But if f is piecewise continuous, then f is integrable. 机动 目录 上页 下页 返回 结束
Remark 2: It can be shown that if f is integrable on [a, b], then f must be a bounded function on [a, b]. 3. Integral Formulas under Regular Partition If f is integrable on [a, b], it is often convenient to take a regular partition. Then and If we choose to be the right endpoint in each subinterval, then Since ||P||=(b-a)/n, we have ||P|| 0 as n, so the definition gives 机动 目录 上页 下页 返回 结束
Theorem If f is integrable on [a, b], then Example 3 Express as an integral on the interval [1, 2]. Answer: If the purpose is to find an approximation to an integral, it is usually better to choose to be midpoint of the subinterval, which we denote by. Any Riemann sum is an approximation to an integral, but if we use midpoints and a regular partition we get the following approximation: 机动 目录 上页 下页 返回 结束

4.4 The Fundamental Theorem of Calculus The Fundamental Theorem of Calculus in this section gives the precise inverse relationship between the derivative and the integral.

For now let us assume that h>0. Since f is continuous on [x, x+h], the Extreme Value Theorem says that there are number u and v in [x, x+h] such that f(u)=m and f(v)=M, where m and M are the absolute minimum and maximum values of f on [x, x+h]. 机动 目录 上页 下页 返回 结束 Inequality (3) can be proved in a similar manner for the case where h<0.

Proof We know from part 1 that g is an antidervitive of f. If F is any other antidervitive of f on [a, b], then f and g differ only by a constant: (6) F(x)=g(x)+C for a<x<b. But both f and g are continuous on [a, b] and so, by taking limits of Equation (6)(as x a - and x b + ), we see that it also holds when x=a and x=b. Noticing g(a)=0 and using Eq.(8) with x=a and x=b, we have F(b)-F(a)=[g(b)+C]-[g(a)+C]=g(b)-g(a) = Notation Set F(x)| =F(b)-F(a). So we have 机动 目录 上页 下页 返回 结束

4.5 The Substitution Rule Because of the Fundamental Theorem of Calculus, we can integrate a function if we know an antiderivative.
