INTEGRATION
Integration is a fundamental concept in calculus that refers to the process of finding the
integral of a function. It is essentially the reverse (or inverse) of differentiation.
There are two main types of integration:
1. Indefinite Integration
This finds a general form of the antiderivative of a function.
It is written as:
Where:
f(x) is the integrand (the function being integrated),
F(x) is the antiderivative,
C is the constant of integration.
2. Definite Integration
This calculates the area under a curve between two points a and b:
This gives a specific value and is often interpreted as the net area between the graph of f(x)
and the x-axis from x=a to x=b.
Applications of Integration:
Finding areas under curves,
Determining displacement from velocity, etc.
Examples of questions under indefinite integration:
1.
To integrate this, we use the formula:
Ax(n+1)/(n+1)
= (5x2+1/2+1) – (8x1+1/1+1) + (5x0+1/0+1)
Note: X to the power of nothing is the same as X to the power of 1(x = x1) and when you only see a
constant i.e 1, 2, 3, 4…...1000000000, there is an x beside it which is x0. This is because x to the
power of 0 is 1. So, 5 in the example given above is the same as 5x0 which is 5 times 1 which is 5.
= (5x3/3) – (8x2/2) + 5x
= (5x3/3) – 4x2 + 5x + C.
