1
Integration – Overall Objectives Integration as the inverse of differentiation Definite and indefinite integrals Area under the curve
2
Integration Differentiation and Integration are inverses Multiply by power and reduce power by 1 Add 1 to power and divide by new power This is called an INDEFINITE INTEGRAL, since you don’t know the constant (c)
3
Area under a straight line y = 0.5x + 3 What is the area under the line between x=1 and x=4? 3 1 4 When x = 4 y = 0.5 x 4 + 3 = 5 5 When x = 1 y = 0.5 x 1 + 3 = 3.5 3.5 Area triangle = 0.5 x (4-1) x (5-3.5) = 0.5 x 3 x 1.5 = 2.25 Area rectangle = (4-1) x 3.5 = 3 x 3.5 = 10.5 TOTAL AREA = 2.25 + 10.5 = 12.75
4
Area under a curve 1 4 y = 0.5x 2 + 3 What is the area under the curve between x=1 and x=4? Can’t do it by triangles and rectangles
5
The definite Integral Area under a curve between x=a and x = b is given by the definite integral Areas below the x axis are negative
6
The definite Integral The definite integral a and b represent the limits of integration … these are the two values the integral is evaluated between This is called a DEFINITE INTEGRAL, since it can be evaluated to a value
7
The definite Integral – example 1 Evaluate Integrate.. 2 0 0 2 The limits are written outside a square bracket Note: no constant of integration is included The definite integral is evaluated by “f(2) - f(0)” Substitute…
