Note that the notation for the definite integral is very similar to the notation for an indefinite
integral. The number “a” that is at the bottom of the integral sign is called the lower limit of the
integral and the number “b” at the top of the integral sign is called the upper limit of the integral.
Also, despite the fact that a and b were given as an interval the lower limit does not necessarily
need to be smaller than the upper limit. Collectively we’ll often call a and b the interval of
integration.
Some of the properties of the definite integral:
To evaluate a definite interval, we have merely to find the indefinite integral, and then subtract its
value from its “lower limit” a from its value at the “upper limit” b. Thus,

∫ 𝑓(𝑥)𝑑𝑥 = 𝐹(𝑏) − 𝐹(𝑎)

Because the constants of integration are the same for both parts of this difference, they are
ignored in the evaluation of the definite integral because they subtract and yield zero. Since the
constant of integration disappears, there is no object in writing it at all.
