Integration – Chapter 6

• Name: Mohammad Ramadan


• Quarter 3 Project
Introduction to Integration
• • Integration is the process of finding the area
under a curve or the accumulation of
quantities.
• • It is the reverse of differentiation.
• • Used in physics, engineering, economics,
and biology to solve real-world problems.
6.1 – Antiderivatives and Indefinite
Integration
• • An antiderivative is a function F(x) such that
F'(x) = f(x).
• • Indefinite integral: ∫f(x) dx = F(x) + C, where
C is the constant of integration.
• • Basic integration rules:
• - ∫xⁿ dx = (xⁿ⁺¹)/(n+1) + C, for n ≠ -1
• - ∫a dx = ax + C
• • Example: ∫x² dx = (x³)/3 + C
6.2 – Area
• • The area under a curve between a and b can
be found using definite integrals.
• • This is written as ∫ₐᵇ f(x) dx.
• • It represents the net area: area above x-axis
is positive, below is negative.
• • Applications include total distance, quantity,
and economic value.
6.3 – Riemann Sums and Definite
Integrals
• • Riemann Sums estimate the area under a
curve using rectangles.
• • Types: Left, Right, Midpoint.
• • As the number of rectangles increases, the
approximation improves.
• • The definite integral is the limit of the
Riemann sum as the number of rectangles →
∞.
6.4 – The Fundamental Theorem of
Calculus
• • Part 1: If F(x) is an antiderivative of f(x), then
d/dx[∫ₐˣ f(t) dt] = f(x).
• • Part 2: ∫ₐᵇ f(x) dx = F(b) - F(a), where F is any
antiderivative of f.
• • This connects differentiation and integration.
6.5 – Integration by Substitution
• • A technique to simplify complex integrals
using u-substitution.
• • Reverse of the chain rule in differentiation.
• • Steps: Let u = inner function, find du, rewrite
the integral in terms of u.
• • Example: ∫2x(x² + 1)³ dx → u = x² + 1, du = 2x
dx → ∫u³ du
6.6 – Numerical Integration
• • Used when a function is too complex to
integrate analytically.
• • Trapezoidal Rule: Approximates area using
trapezoids.
• • Simpson’s Rule: More accurate, uses
parabolas.
• • Example: Approximate ∫₀² x² dx using
Trapezoidal Rule with 2 intervals.
Summary
• • Integration is a core concept in calculus,
used to calculate area, total change, and solve
real-life problems.
• • We explored antiderivatives, area under
curves, Riemann sums, the Fundamental
Theorem of Calculus,
• substitution, and numerical methods.
