Key Topics to Revise

1

Definite Integral as Limit of Sum

  • The definite integral ∫ₐᵇ f(x) dx is defined as the limit of a sum of areas of rectangles under the curve.
  • Divide the interval [a, b] into n equal parts, each of width h = (b−a)/n.
  • Use left or right endpoints to evaluate function values: f(a), f(a+h), ..., f(a+(n−1)h).
2

Fundamental Theorem of Calculus

  • If F(x) is an antiderivative of f(x), then ∫ₐᵇ f(x) dx = F(b) − F(a).
  • This theorem connects differentiation and integration.
  • It allows us to evaluate definite integrals without using limits of sums.
3

Properties of Definite Integrals

  • ∫ₐᵇ f(x) dx = −∫ᵇₐ f(x) dx
  • ∫ₐᵇ f(x) dx = ∫ₐᶜ f(x) dx + ∫ᶜᵇ f(x) dx for a < c < b
  • ∫₀ᵃ f(x) dx = ∫₀ᵃ f(a−x) dx
4

Integration by Substitution

  • Substitute a new variable to simplify the integrand.
  • Change the limits of integration according to the substitution.
  • Integrate with respect to the new variable and evaluate directly.
