2
The Definite Integral Essential Question – What does the notation for integrals look like and what does it mean?
3
Riemann Sums LRAM, MRAM, and RRAM are all Riemann Sums (after George Friedrich Bernard Riemann) In words – multiply all the values of the function (y values) with the width of the interval and add them all up
4
Definite Integrals A function must be continuous to take the integral Remember yesterday, we talked about if we take the limit as n approaches infinity of the sum, we will get the exact area If we take the limit of the Riemann Sum, we will get the definite integral
5
What the notation means Lower limit of integration Upper limit of integration Integrand Variable of Integration Integral symbol Read this as integral from a to b of f of x dx
6
Example Express as an integral
7
Area under a curve Area under a curve = Example Evaluate
8
Example Evaluate
9
Negative functions If f(x) is ever negative, you have to divide interval into subintervals where function is positive and where it is negative If f(x) is positive on [a,b] and negative on [b,c], Area under a curve =

Example Evaluate
11
Integral of a constant Example A train goes 75 mi/hr between 7 and 9 AM. How far does it go?
