Introduction to Integration
• • Integration is one of the two main
operations in calculus, the other being
differentiation.
• • It is the process of finding the integral of a
function, which represents the area under a
curve.
• • There are two main types of integrals:
definite and indefinite.
Indefinite Integrals
• • An indefinite integral represents a family of
functions and includes a constant of
integration (C).
• • It is the reverse process of differentiation.
• • General form: ∫f(x) dx = F(x) + C, where F(x)
is the antiderivative of f(x).
Definite Integrals
• • A definite integral computes the area under
a curve within a specified interval [a, b].
• • It has a specific numerical value.
• • General form: ∫[a to b] f(x) dx = F(b) - F(a),
where F(x) is the antiderivative of f(x).
Fundamental Theorem of Calculus
• • The Fundamental Theorem of Calculus links
the concept of differentiation and integration.
• • It has two parts:
• - Part 1: If F is the antiderivative of f, then the
integral of f from a to b is F(b) - F(a).
• - Part 2: The derivative of the integral of a
function is the original function.
Techniques of Integration
• • Substitution Method: Useful for integrals of
the form ∫f(g(x))g'(x) dx.
• • Integration by Parts: Based on the product
rule for differentiation.
• • Partial Fractions: Decomposing a fraction
into simpler parts to integrate.
• • Trigonometric Substitution: Used for
integrals involving √(a² - x²), √(a² + x²), and √(x²
- a²).
Applications of Integration
• • Calculating Areas: Determining the area
under a curve.
• • Volume of Solids of Revolution: Using the
disk and shell methods.
• • Work and Energy: Computing work done by
a variable force.
• • Probability: Finding probabilities for
continuous random variables.
Conclusion
• • Integration is a powerful tool in calculus with
numerous applications.
• • Mastery of various techniques is essential
for solving complex integrals.
• • A strong understanding of integration
enhances problem-solving skills in
mathematics and beyond.
