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
