Rules: pff as if I’m typing them all up. They’ll be
on the formula sheet anyway, so don’t panic.
Trig Rules:
Sine integrates to Cos;
Cos integrates to –Sine;
-Cos integrates to Sine.
Area cannot be negative...
Q5 – Simple Integration
Chances are this will be one of the simple ones
where you just need to find the area between
the x-axis and the curve. But if it’s like this
bitchcake of a graph, then you’re going to have
to work out each area separately and then add
it together because the lower half will be
negative.
GC Calculator
To find where the line cuts the X-axis;
SHIFT +G-SOLVEROOT
This can also be found by going EQUA in the
menu,  POLYNOMIAL2 DEGREEAnd
punching in formula.
To find where the line intersects;
SHIFT+G-SOLVE ISCT
To work out despair using RUN mode:
OPTNCALCdespair.dx
Exercises to Practice:
Ex. 8A Is on basic Integration to brush up your
skills. Pg 253.
Ex 8B Is basic definite integral stuff. Finding area
from a curve to the x-axis. Pg 259.
Ex 8C. Areas between two curves.
Ex 8D. More area between two curves.
Ex 8E. Applications of definite integration, M&P
stuff. Pg277.
Q14 – Area between curves
Remember for this one you don’t need to worry if
it is below the curve or not – it will not become
negative. Example below – I scanned my book
rather than inserting a ridiculishious number of
symbols. Just remember that you can put both
the formulas in the one equation. There’s not
much of this stuff on the test, but I’d still practice
one question of between curves and x-axis stuff so
you can remember the process easy.
