The Area problem

Find the area of the region S that lies under the curve
y = f (x) from a to b, i.e. S is bounded by the graph of a
continuous function y = f (x), (f (x) ≥ 0), x axis, x = a,
x = b.

Definite integral
If f is defined on [a, b], we divide [a, b] into n subintervals
of equal width ∆x = b−a n . x0 = a, x1 , x2 , · · · , xn = b, and
xi∗ ∈ [xi−1 , xi ]. Then, the definite integral of f from a to
b is
Rb
f (x)dx = limn→∞ Σni=1 f (xi∗ )∆x
a

If it does exist, we say that f is integrable on [a, b].

Theorem
If f (x) is continuous on [a, b], or if f has only a finite
number of jump discontinuities, then f is integrable on
[a, b].
