25- Integrations VU

Lecture No.25 Integrations

Here the dark region is area under the curve

y=f(x) in the interval [a,b].

If we agree that the area above a singe point

Should be taken as zero, then on putting A(0) = 0 ,
And x=0, we get C=0. So we can write

This process of finding A(x) is called
antidifferentiation problem. By simple guessing we
see that

Here to find the area under the curve, we have

to find a function A(x) whose derivative is f(x). i.e.

For simplicity, the dx is sometimes absorbed

into the integrand. For example

∫1dx can be written as ∫ dx

1 dx
∫x 2
dx
can be written as
∫x 2
