Integration
Integral calculus:
- Reverse of differentiation
- Area under a curve
∫: Is the integral sign - an elongated s, to denote sum
a, b : The limits of integration - b is the upper limit and a the lower limit
f(x): The integrand - the function that is being integrated
Upper and Lower sum Approximations
To become more accurate, the width of these rectangles must be made as small as possible.
i.e. Must approach 0.
The Actual Area Under a Curve

Step 1: Width = ∆Xi = 𝑛
Step 2: Bottom right value = xi = a + i∆Xi
Step 3: Length = f(xi) = f(a + i∆Xi )
Step 4: Area of one rectangle = f(xi) . ∆Xi

Step 5: Sum of the areas of n rectangles = [f(xi) . ∆Xi]

Step 6: Area under the curve = lim [f(xi) . ∆Xi]

Riemann Sum
,Example:
Find the area under the curve y = 2x + x2, above the x axis and between x = 1 and x = 3 by
subdividing the area intro the area using n stripes of equal width.

2. If you are required to find the area bounded by two curves, f and g, use the formula:
h(x) = f(x) - g(x) where f(x) is above g(x)

The area between the two curved from a to b will be: lim h(xi) . ∆Xi

The Fundamental Theorem of Calculus
If f(x) is continuous on interval [a ; b] and F(x) is any indefinite integral (anti-derivative) of f(x),
then:
. b
∫ a
f(x) dx = [F(x)]ba = F (b) - F (a)
Integrand (“derivative”)
Example: 6
∫ (8x - 3) dx
2
Derivative of: 4x2 - 3x
Anti-differentiation is seen as the reverse of differentiation and we can find the antiderivative
by inspection (by recognising the standard integral).
dy
𝑑𝑥
= f(x)
dy = f(x) . dx
Hence, y = ∫ f(x) . dx
The integral of the derivative = the function
i.e. Integration and differentiation are inverse operations
