1-D Integration and Centroids: Integral of A Function

The document discusses 1-D integration and centroids. It defines the integral of a function over an interval as yielding the area under the curve in that interval. It also notes that the integral represents the antiderivative of the function with an added constant of integration. It provides examples of common indefinite integrals and discusses evaluating definite integrals, integration by parts, and defines the centroid of an area as the area weighted average location. It states that centroids of common shapes will be discussed.

1-D Integration and Centroids

Integral of a function: The integral of a function f(x) over an interval from x1 to x2 yield
the area under the curve in this interval

Note: The integral represents the

Indefinite Integrals to know [

]:

Note: Remember to add a constant of integration if you are not specifying limits. You
evaluate the constant of integration by forcing the integral to pass through a known point.
Note: For definite integrals subtract the value of the integral at the lower limit from its
value at the upper limit. For example, if you have the indefinite integral

where C is the constant of integration which drops out of the final expression.
Note: The following notation is common

Integration by parts:

Centroid of an area: The centroid of an area is the area weighted average location of
the given area.

Centroids of common shapes:
