Key concepts, formulas, and definitions from Definite Integration for JEE Advanced Mathematics preparation.

Key Topics to Revise

1

Definite Integration as Limit of Sum

  • Definite integral represents area under curve y = f(x) between x = a and x = b
  • ∫[a to b] f(x)dx = lim[n→∞] h∑[r=0 to n-1] f(a + rh) where h = (b-a)/n
  • Can be calculated using upper sum or lower sum - both give same result
2

Fundamental Theorems of Integral Calculus

  • First Fundamental Theorem: If F(x) = ∫[a to x] f(t)dt, then F'(x) = f(x)
  • Second Fundamental Theorem: ∫[a to b] f(x)dx = F(b) - F(a) where F'(x) = f(x)
  • Area function F(x) represents area from fixed point to variable point
3

Properties of Definite Integration

  • ∫[a to b] f(x)dx = -∫[b to a] f(x)dx (reversing limits changes sign)
  • ∫[a to b] f(x)dx = ∫[a to c] f(x)dx + ∫[c to b] f(x)dx (splitting limits)
  • ∫[a to b] f(x)dx = ∫[a to b] f(a+b-x)dx (substitution property)
4

Integration by Parts for Definite Integrals

  • ∫[a to b] u dv = [uv]ₐᵇ - ∫[a to b] v du
  • Choose u using ILATE rule (Inverse, Logarithmic, Algebraic, Trigonometric, Exponential)
  • Often used for products of different types of functions
