Key Topics to Revise

1

Definition and Geometric Interpretation

  • Definite integral as limit of sum: ∫[a to b] f(x)dx = lim(n→∞) h[f(a) + f(a+h) + ... + f(a+(n-1)h)] where h = (b-a)/n
  • Represents area under curve y = f(x) from x = a to x = b
  • Upper limit 'b' and lower limit 'a' are fixed values
2

Properties of Definite Integrals

  • Property 1: ∫[a to b] f(x)dx = -∫[b to a] f(x)dx (reversing limits changes sign)
  • Property 2: ∫[a to c] f(x)dx = ∫[a to b] f(x)dx + ∫[b to c] f(x)dx (additive property)
  • Property 3: ∫[a to b] f(x)dx = ∫[a to b] f(a+b-x)dx (substitution property)
3

Evaluation by Substitution Method

  • Step 1: Choose appropriate substitution u = g(x)
  • Step 2: Find du = g'(x)dx
  • Step 3: Change limits: when x = a, u = g(a); when x = b, u = g(b)
4

Applications - Area Under Curves

  • Area under y = f(x) from x = a to x = b: A = ∫[a to b] f(x)dx (when f(x) ≥ 0)
  • Area between two curves: A = ∫[a to b] |f(x) - g(x)|dx
  • When f(x) > g(x): A = ∫[a to b] [f(x) - g(x)]dx
