Lecture # 25
Integrations

In this lecture we will look at the beginnings of the other major Calculus problem.

• The Area Problem


• Anti-derivatives (Integration)
• Integration formulas
• Indefinite Integral
• Properties of Indefinite Integral

The Area Problem

Given a continuous and non negative


function on an interval [a , b],
find the area between the graph
of f and the interval [a , b] on the
x-axis.
Instead of trying to solve a
particular case like the one in the
picture we just saw, we will generalize
to solve this problem where the right
end point will be any number x greater
than or equal to b instead of just b.
We will denote the area we are
trying to find as A(x) because this
will be a function of x now as it depends
on how far away x is from a.

It was the idea of Newton and Leibniz


that to find the unknown area A(x),
first find it derivative A/ ( x) and use this
derivative to determine what A (x) is
! Interesting approach.
So we want to find out first.

A( x + h) − A( x)
A '( x) = lim
h →0 h

Let’s assume for now that h > 0


The top of the derivative quotient is
the difference of the two areas A(x)
and A(x + h)
Let c be the midpoint of between
x and x +h. Then the difference of
areas can be approximated by the
area of the rectangle with base length
h and height f ( c).

So we have
A( x + h) − A( x) f (c) ⋅ h
≈ =
f (c )
h h

Note that the error in the approximation from this rectangle


in A will approach 0 as h goes to 0.
Then we have
A( x + h) − A( x)
= = lim f (c)
A/ ( x) lim
h →0 h h →0

As h goes to 0, c approaches x. Also, f is assumed to be a continuous function, so we have that f( c)


goes to f (x) as c goes to x. Thus
lim f (c) =f ( x) ⇒ A/ ( x) =f ( x)
h →0
So: The derivative of the area function A (x) is the function whose graph forms the upper boundary
of the region under which the area is to be found

Example

Find the area of the region under


the graph of= y f= ( x) x 2
over the interval [0 , 1 ]
Look at the situation over the
interval [0 , x]. Then we have from
the discussion that A '( x) = x 2
To find A(x) we look for a
function whose derivative is x 2
This is called an antidifferentiation
problem as we are trying to find A(x) by
undoing a differentiation.
A guess is the function
1
A( x) = x3
3

This is a formula for the areas function. So on the interval [0 , 1], we have x = 1 and our result is
A(1) = 1/3 units

Anti-derivatives
Definition 5.2.1
A function F is called antiderivative of a function f on a given interval if F/(x) = f (x) for all x in the
interval.

Example
1 3 1 3 1 3
The functions
x, x −π, x + C are all anti-derivatives of
3 3 3
=f ( x) x 2 on the interval (−∞, +∞)
As the derivative of each is f ( x) = x 2
If F (x) is any anti-derivative of f (x), then so is F (x) +C where C is a constant.
Here is a theorem

Indefinite Integral

The process of finding anti-derivatives is called anti-differentiation or Integrations.


d
If there is some function F such that [ F ( x)] = f ( x)
dx
Then function of the form F (x) +C are anti-derivatives of f (x).
We denote this by ∫ f ( x=
)dx F ( x) + C
The symbol ∫ is called the integral sign and f (x) is called the integrand.
It is read as the “Indefinite integral of f (x) equals F (x)” ∫ f ( x=
)dx F ( x) + C
The right side of the above equation is not a specific function but a whole set of possible functions.
That’s why we call it the Indefinite integral.
C is called the constant of integrations.

Example
As we saw earlier, the anti-derivatives of f ( x) = x 2 are functions of the form So we can write
1 3
F=
( x) x +C
3
The dx serves to identify the independent variable in the function involved in the integration.
