CALC2 Definite Integ. Handout

A definite integral is a key concept in calculus that calculates the signed area under a curve between two limits, [a, b]. It is expressed as F(b) - F(a), where F is the anti-derivative of the function being integrated. The document provides an example of evaluating a definite integral and discusses its properties.

DEFINITE INTEGRATION

Handout

A definite integral is a fundamental concept in calculus that represents the signed area under a
curve defined by a function over a specific interval. This integral has precise limits, denoted as [a, b]
where a is the lower limit and b is the upper limit.

The Definite Integral of a function f(x) from a to b is expressed as: = F(b) – F(a)
- The Limits of Integration

- The function of X

F(b) – F(a) F(b) – F(a) - The anti-derivative of function

*Note: To read the Expression, “The Integral of f of x dx from a to b.”.

Example

1st step  Integrate

= ∫(−𝑥^2 + 4) 𝑑𝑥
−𝑥^3
= 3
+ 4𝑥 *note: We don’t put +C because it is solely for indefinite…

−𝑥^3 2
= 3
+4x -2| *note: We used [| (a to b] instead of +C

2nd step  Evaluate (F(b) – F(a))


−𝑥^3
= 3
+4x *note: Use the previous answer to proceed evaluation
2
by substituting the limits|
