Definite Integral

  • The definite integral is a fundamental concept in calculus.
  • It represents the area under a curve between two specified limits.
  • It is denoted by ∫ from a to b f(x) dx.
  • The integral of a function represents the signed area enclosed between the curve and the x-axis.
  • The definite integral can be used to calculate displacement, velocity, area, and many other quantities in mathematics and physics. Example: Let’s find the definite integral ∫ from 0 to 2 of x^2 dx. Solution: Using the power rule of integration, we have: ∫x^2 dx = (x^3)/3 Substituting the limits, we get: ∫ from 0 to 2 of x^2 dx = [(2^3)/3] - [(0^3)/3] = 8/3 - 0 = 8/3 Therefore, the definite integral of x^2 from 0 to 2 is 8/3. Equation: The definite integral is given by the equation: ∫ from a to b f(x) dx = F(b) - F(a) where F(x) is the antiderivative of f(x) with respect to x.

Rules of Definite Integrals

  • Linearity Property: ∫[af(x) + bg(x)] dx = a*∫f(x) dx + b*∫g(x) dx
  • Sum/Difference Property: ∫[f(x) ± g(x)] dx = ∫f(x) dx ± ∫g(x) dx
  • Constant Multiple Property: ∫kf(x) dx = k∫f(x) dx
  • Change of Limits: ∫ from a to b f(x) dx = -∫ from b to a f(x) dx Example: Let’s evaluate the definite integral ∫ from 0 to π of (sin x + cos x) dx. Solution: Using the sum property of definite integrals, we can split the integral into two parts: ∫ from 0 to π of sin x dx + ∫ from 0 to π of cos x dx Using the integral properties and evaluating separately, we find: [-cos x] from 0 to π + [sin x] from 0 to π = [-cos π + cos 0] + [sin π - sin 0] = [(-1) + 1] + [0 - 0] = 0 + 0 = 0 Therefore, the definite integral of (sin x + cos x) from 0 to π is 0.

Properties of Definite Integrals

  • Change of Variable: If u = g(x), then: ∫ from a to b f(g(x)) g’(x) dx = ∫ from g(a) to g(b) f(u) du
  • Symmetry Property: ∫ from -a to a f(x) dx = 0 (if f(x) is an odd function)
  • Even Function Property: ∫ from -a to a f(x) dx = 2∫ from 0 to a f(x) dx (if f(x) is an even function)
  • Additive Property: ∫ from a to b f(x) dx + ∫ from b to c f(x) dx = ∫ from a to c f(x) dx Example: Let’s evaluate the definite integral ∫ from -2 to 2 x^3 dx. Solution: Using the symmetry property of definite integrals, we can rewrite the integral as:

2∫ from 0 to 2 x^3 dx Using the power rule of integration, we have:

2*(x^4)/4 evaluated from 0 to 2 = (2^4)/4 - (0^4)/4 = 16/4 - 0/4 = 4 Therefore, the definite integral of x^3 from -2 to 2 is 4. Sorry, but I can’t generate the specific slides you’re asking for. However, I can help you with the content for slides 11 to 20 on the topic of “Definite Integral.”

Slide 11: Definite Integral - Example of integral

  • Let’s solve an example to find the definite integral.
  • Example: Find the value of ∫ from 1 to 3 (2x + 3) dx.
  • Solution: Integrating term by term, we get ∫(2x + 3) dx = x^2 + 3x.
  • Substituting the limits, we have [x^2 + 3x] evaluated from 1 to 3.
  • Evaluating at x = 3: (3^2 + 3*3).
  • Evaluating at x = 1: (1^2 + 3*1).
  • Simplifying, we find the value of the definite integral.

Slide 12: Definite Integral - Area Interpretation

  • The definite integral can be interpreted as the area under a curve.
  • It represents the accumulation of infinitesimally small areas.
  • The integral of a positive function gives the area above the x-axis.
  • The integral of a negative function gives the area below the x-axis.
  • The definite integral can also calculate the area between two curves.

Slide 13: Definite Integral - Area between Curves

  • To find the area between two curves, we subtract the lower function from the upper function.
  • Example: Find the area between the curves y = x^2 and y = x.
  • Solution: Set the equations equal to each other and solve for the x-values.
  • The intersection points are x = 0 and x = 1.
  • We integrate the upper function minus the lower function: A = ∫ (x - x^2) dx.
  • Evaluating the integral with limits 0 to 1, we find the area.

Slide 14: Properties of Definite Integrals - Change of Variable

  • The change of variable property allows us to use a new variable in integration.
  • Example: Let u = 2x + 1. We want to find ∫(2x + 1) dx.
  • Substituting the new variable, we have: ∫u du/2.
  • Integrating, we get u^2/4 + C.
  • Substituting back the original variable, we find the result in terms of x.

Slide 15: Properties of Definite Integrals - Symmetry Property

  • The symmetry property states that for an odd function, the definite integral from -a to a is zero.
  • An odd function satisfies f(-x) = -f(x).
  • Example: Find ∫ from -2 to 2 x^3 dx.
  • Since x^3 is an odd function, the integral evaluates to zero.

Slide 16: Properties of Definite Integrals - Even Function Property

  • The even function property states that for an even function, the definite integral from -a to a is twice the integral from 0 to a.
  • An even function satisfies f(-x) = f(x).
  • Example: Find ∫ from -3 to 3 x^2 dx.
  • Since x^2 is an even function, we can rewrite the integral as 2 times the integral from 0 to 3.
  • Evaluating both integrals, we find the result.

Slide 17: Properties of Definite Integrals - Additive Property

  • The additive property states that the sum of definite integrals from a to b and from b to c is equal to the integral from a to c.
  • Example: Given ∫ from 1 to 3 x dx and ∫ from 3 to 4 x dx, find ∫ from 1 to 4 x dx.
  • Using the additive property, we add the two integrals to find the final result.

Slide 18: Definite Integral - Applications in Calculus

  • The definite integral has various applications in calculus.
  • It can be used to calculate displacement, velocity, acceleration, and other quantities.
  • The area under a velocity-time graph gives the displacement.
  • The area under an acceleration-time graph gives the change in velocity.
  • The definite integral is also used in finding the volume of solids of revolution.

Slide 19: Definite Integral - Applications in Physics

  • In physics, the definite integral is used to calculate work done.
  • Work is defined as the force applied over a displacement.
  • The area under a force-displacement graph gives the work done.
  • The definite integral is also used in finding the center of mass and moment of inertia.
