Indefinite Integral
means
f x dx F x F x f x
Definition of a Indefinite Integral: If F’(x)=f(x) then F(x) is called an
antiderivative or an indefinite integral of f(x).
In other words, if the derivative of F(x) is f(x) then an antiderivative or an
indefinite integral of f(x) is F(x)
Notation:

The Definite Integral:Definition
Definition of a Definite Integral If f is a function defined for a ≤ x ≤ b, we
divide the interval [a, b] into n subintervals of equal width
.
b a
x
n
We let x0(= a), x1, x2, . . . , xn (= b) be the endpoints of these subintervals and
we let x1*, x2*, . . . , xn* be any sample points in these subintervals, so xi* lies
in the ith subinterval [xi −1, xi ]. Then the definite integral of f from a to b is
provided that this limit exists and gives the same value for all possible choices
of sample points. If it does exist, we say that f is integrable on [a, b]. We can
also write the definite integral in the following way

The Definite Integral:Note
In the notation
,
b
a
f x dx f x
is called the integrand and a and b are called the
limits of integration; a is the lower limit and b is the upper limit.
For now, the symbol dx has no meaning by itself;
b
a
f x dx
is all one symbol.
The dx simply indicates that the independent variable is x. The procedure of
calculating an integral is called integration.
Note 1: The symbol was introduced by Leibniz and is called an integral
sign.
It is an elongated S and was chosen because an integral is a limit of sums.

The Definite Integral:Note
Note 2: The definite integral

a
f x dx
is a number; it does not depend on x.
In fact, we could use any letter in place of x without changing the value of the
integral:
b b b
a a a
f x dx f t dt f r dr
Note 3: The sum

mathematician Bernhard Riemann (1826–1866).

The Fundamental Theoremof Calculus
The first part of the Fundamental Theorem of Calculus is the
following.
Using Leibniz notation for derivatives, we can write this
theorem as
when f is continuous.

The Fundamental Theoremof Calculus
The second part of the Fundamental Theorem of Calculus,
which follows easily from the first part, provides us with a
much simpler method for the evaluation of integrals.

Example
Evaluate .
Solution:
Let u= 2x + 1. Then du = 2 dx, so dx = du.
To find the new limits of integration we note that
when x = 0, u = 2(0) + 1 = 1
and
when x = 4, u = 2(4) + 1 = 9

Example – Solution
Observethat we do not return to the variable x after
integrating. We simply evaluate the expression in u between
the appropriate values of u.

The following theoremuses the Substitution Rule for Definite
Integrals to simplify the calculation of integrals of functions
that possess symmetry properties.

Symmetry
Theorem 6 isillustrated by Figure 2.
For the case where f is positive and even, part (a) says that
the area under y = f(x) from –a to a is twice the area from
0 to a because of symmetry.

Symmetry
Recall that anintegral can be expressed as the
area above the x-axis and below y = f(x) minus the area
below the axis and above the curve.
Thus part (b) says the integral is 0 because the areas
cancel.
