Day 7

Spaced Revision

Come back to Definite Integrals after a week. Use flashcards for quick recall and try past exam questions on this chapter.

What to Focus On

  • Definite integral represents the area under a curve between two limits.
  • It is defined as the limit of a sum of rectangular areas.
  • The width of each subinterval is h = (b - a)/n.
  • Links integration and differentiation.
  • Allows easy evaluation of definite integrals using antiderivatives.
  • The result is a number, not a function.
  • Reversing limits changes sign.
  • Integral over an interval equals sum of integrals over subintervals.
  • Substitution x → a+b-x leaves integral unchanged.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

The definite integral ∫ₐᵇ f(x) dx is just the area under the curve, so it's always positive.

When using substitution in definite integrals, you can just change the variable and use the original limits.

∫ₐᵇ f(x) dx = ∫ₐᵇ f(t) dt means you can substitute any variable without changing anything else.

Memory Tips

Definition of definite integral as limit of sum

Fundamental Theorem of Calculus: ∫ₐᵇ f(x) dx = F(b) − F(a)

∫ₐᵇ f(x) dx = −∫ᵇₐ f(x) dx

∫ₐᵇ f(x) dx = ∫ₐᶜ f(x) dx + ∫ᶜᵇ f(x) dx
