Module 2 Definite Integrals Chain Rule and Exponential Functions
Here we will focus on definite integrals. The difference between the two integrals is
that an indefinite integral is a function and definite integral is a number. These are integrals
with upper and lower limits, also called boundaries.
Another definition of definite integral is the summation of areas under a graph of a
function. 𝑏 𝑏
𝑥 𝐹 = 𝑥𝑑 𝑥 𝑓 𝑎ቤ
𝑎
This is read as “The definite integrals of 𝑓 𝑥 𝑑𝑥 from 𝑎 and 𝑏
𝑏
න 𝑓 𝑥 𝑑𝑥 = 𝐹 𝑏 − 𝐹 𝑎
𝑎
Notation:
Let 𝑓 𝑥 = be the functions
𝐹 𝑥 = be the indefinite integral
𝑎 = be the lower limit
𝑏 = be the upper limit
Properties of Definite Integrals
𝑏 𝑎
1. = 𝑥𝑑 𝑥 𝑓 𝑎− 𝑥𝑑 𝑥 𝑓 𝑏
This property states that we can interchange the limits of any definite
integral, just don’t forget to change the sign.
𝑎
2. = 𝑥𝑑 𝑥 𝑓 𝑎0
The property states that if the limits are the same, then the definite integral is 0
𝑏 𝑏
3. 𝑥𝑑 𝑥 𝑓 𝑎 𝑐 = 𝑥𝑑 𝑥 𝑓𝑐 𝑎
In this property, we can factor out c before multiplying it with the definite integral.
𝑏 𝑏 𝑏
4. 𝑥 𝑓 𝑎± 𝑔 𝑥 𝑑𝑥 = 𝑥𝑑 𝑥 𝑓 𝑎± 𝑥𝑑 𝑥 𝑔 𝑎
The property states that the definite integral of the sum or difference of functions
can be written as the sum or difference of definite integrals of separate function.
𝑏 𝑏
5. 𝑧𝑑 𝑧 𝑓 𝑎 = 𝑥𝑑 𝑥 𝑓 𝑎
This property shows that the definite integrals of the same functions are equal even
if the variables are different.
Here are some examples to show to solve the definite integral

Chain Rule for Integration
We cannot directly apply the basic formulas for more integrands. To evaluate these
types of integrands, we can change its form by representing the function by another
variable, 𝑢. This method is called the 𝐶ℎ𝑎𝑖𝑛 𝑅𝑢𝑙𝑒 𝑓𝑜𝑟 𝐼𝑛𝑡𝑒𝑔𝑟𝑎𝑡𝑖𝑜𝑛 𝑜𝑟 𝑢 −

Chain rule for integration
We cannot directly apply the basic formulas for more integrands. To evaluate these types of
integrands, we can change its form by representing the function by another variable, 𝑢. This method is

Example: 1. 4𝑥 − 5 2 𝑑𝑥
First method of solution: In basic integration, from this given function , all we have to do first is to
give the product of binomial then integrate one by one

𝒅𝒖 = 𝟒𝒅𝒙 not 𝑑𝑥
Here our 𝒖 = 4𝑥 − 5 𝑤𝑖𝑡ℎ 𝒏 = 𝟐, and our given 𝒅𝒖 = 𝒅𝒙 which not satisfies to the computed
𝒅𝒖 = 𝟒𝒅𝒙 so all we have to do is to make our 𝒅𝒖 = 𝟒𝒅𝒙,and that is multiply the given integration by
its reciprocal to satisfies the right 𝒅𝒖
