This problem can be written as
The symbol is called an integral symbol and tells you to integrate (antidifferentiate) the
expression which follows it. That expression is called an integrand. dx indicates that you are
integrating with respect to the variable x but does not affect the integration process. C is called
the constant of integration and must be written as part of your answer when you are
antidifferentiating.

If we know the acceleration equation for an object, and if we are given initial conditions for the
object’s velocity and position, integration allows us to find the velocity and position equations for
the object.
Example 13: Given that on earth, the acceleration of an object due to gravity is approximately
−32 ft / sec2 (negative indicates downward), develop
a. the equation for the velocity of the object. b. the equation for the position of the object.
vo = initial velocity so = initial position
v (t ) = s (t ) =
142
Note: The two equations v ( t ) = −32t + v0 and s ( t ) = −16t 2 + v0t + s0 may be used for any
motion affected only by the earth’s gravity.

LESSON 6.2 ANTIDIFFERENTIATION OF EXPONENTIALS AND TRIG FUNCTIONS

antiderivative rules (integration rules).

than any other trig functions. Rotate clockwise for derivatives. Rotate

u-Substitution
For more complicated integration problems, simple rules for integration might fail, and you may
have to make some type of substitution to be able to integrate. In this course, a common
substitution will be to let u = the radicand ( )
radicand part of the expression and to change the
variable throughout the integral before integrating. You should use this method of substitution
(called u-substitution) only when simpler methods don’t work. It should be your last resort.

A Definite Integral is written with upper and lower limits attached to an integration expression.
The value of a definite integral ( b
a )
f ( x ) dx may be thought of as a “signed area” from the lower
limit a (usually a left side boundary) to the upper limit b (usually a right-side boundary), and
between the curve of f ( x) and the x-axis. The value may be positive, negative, or zero.
Unlike the previous integration process which produced an indefinite integral (an antiderivative)
representing a family of curves, a definite integral represents a number value.
Calculator Integration: A TI-84 calculator can be used to find the value of a definite integral from
a to b by using f ( x ) dx in the calculate menu or fnInt in the math menu. The calculate menu
shows a graphical representation of the “signed area” together with the value of the definite integral.
Examples:
Use the calculate menu to evaluate the following definite integrals.
1 5
6
1.
−3
( x 3 − 6 x) dx 2. − 6
( x3 − 6 x) dx 3.
−5
x 3 − 6 x dx
The math menu only provides the value of the definite integral, but that is usually all that we need.
The math menu gives a more accurate answer. fnInt is recommended for all problems from now on.
Note: Newer operating systems have a MATHPRINT setting that simplifies this process.

This means a function value at an endpoint can be found as a starting value plus a definite integral.
Although this is only a slight variation of the Fundamental Theorem of Calculus, it gives us a
different way to approach problems. This is an extremely common APTM Calculus type problem.

Some functions cannot be integrated, and sometimes you are given data or a graph – but not an
actual function. It is still possible to approximate “areas.” One method of approximating a definite
integral is to add areas of rectangles. This is called a Riemann Sum.

For most functions, using trapezoids to approximate “areas” is more accurate than using rectangles.
1
The area formula for a single trapezoid is A = h(b1 + b2 ) . Figure (below left).
2
b1
h h h1 h2
b2
w
Since trapezoids used in the approximations of “areas” are usually positioned vertically, we will
1
write the formula as A = w(h1 + h2 ) . Figure (above right).
2
To approximate the value of a definite integral using trapezoids, use the same strategy as you used
for Riemann Sums – but add the “areas” of trapezoids instead of rectangles.

at the right.

Note: The area formula for a trapezoid also works for a triangle (either h1 = 0 or h2 = 0) or a
rectangle (h1 = h2 ) .
If you forget the formula for a trapezoid, you can always draw your “areas” as rectangles and
triangles (and not even use trapezoids). You could also average the values from a Left and Right
Riemann Sum. In any case, make certain to show a clear set-up.
As the number of subdivisions increases, the accuracy of a Riemann Sum approximation improves.
To achieve perfect accuracy we need to approach infinitely many subdivisions. This is the limit
definition of a definite integral.
