Do Now: 1. Find the derivative of the following functions a) b) Agenda: I. Do Now II. Indefinite integral III. Reverse power rule IV. Integral rules V. Homework Take out: pencil, notebook, calculator Homework: Handout Objectives: You will be able to find anti-derivatives and indefinite integrals using the reverse power rule.
3
Since you are all such experts at derivatives, its time to move on. The next HUGE topic we’ll be covering is integrals. Today, we’ll take our first step into integrals, with anti-derivatives Essentially, an anti derivative, is a derivative in reverse
4
An antiderivative of the function f(x), is another function F(x), whose derivative is f(x). In other words, an anti-derivative of f(x) is a function F(x), where F’(x) is f(x). THAT SOUNDS CONFUSING, but really its not, an anti-derivative is just a derivative in reverse. The process of finding the antiderivative is called antidifferentiation.
5
The reverse power rule is a tool for taking anti-derivatives of polynomials. If you have a function: Then the anti-derivative, F(x), is
6
Take the reverse power rule slowly at first. Raise the exponent by 1 first! Divide by that new exponent Check!
8
Find the derivative of the functions below: Same! Two different functions, same derivative!
9
All 3 of these curves have the same derivative! Thus, they are ALL anti- derivatives of some function. Their slopes are the same at each x value! This comes from the fact that the derivative of a constant =0
10
An indefinite integral represents the entire set of anti-derivatives (there are an infinite number of them). The indefinite integral of f(x) is F(x)+C, We call C the constant of integration, and it could be anything! We’d need more information to figure out what it is.
11
We use the integral symbol to represent the anti-derivative. Integral Symbol The integrand We’ll learn about this later. Let’s you know you are integrating with respect to x Anti- Derivative Constant of Integration
13
Roots and Denominators! Dividing by a fraction is the same as multiplying by its… Reciprocal!
14
Integrate the following:
15
All of the common derivatives you have already memorized can be reversed to figure out common integrals.
16
Memorize ‘em all! You should know them already.
17
Before we start working with derivatives, we need to learn a few properties of integrals to make our lives easier. Integral of a constant: EX Slap an x on it!
18
Integral of a constant times a function: EX You can pull out constants +C or – C….it don’t matter!
19
Addition and Subtraction Ex The integral of a sum is the sum of the integrals!
20
Multiplication! NOOOOO! We need reverse product and quotient rules!
