14.1 Differentials (1 of 4)
Let y = f ( x) be a differentiable function of x, and let Dx
denote a change in x, where Dx can be any real number.
Then the differential of y, denoted by either dy or d ( f ( x))
is given by dy = f ′ ( x ) Dx
Example 1 – Computing a Differential
Find the differential of y = x 3 - 2 x 2 + 3x - 4, and evaluate it when
x = 1 and Dx = 0.04.
d 3
Solution: dy =
dx
( ) (
x - 2 x 2 + 3x - 4 Dx = 3x 2 - 4 x + 3 Dx )
When x = 1 and Dx = 0.04, dy = dy (1, 0.04)
= (3(1) 2 - 4(1) + 3)(0.04) = 0.08

Example 3 – Using the Differential to Estimate a Change
in a Quantity
A governmental health agency examined the records of a
group of individuals who were hospitalized with a particular
illness. It was found that the total proportion P that are
discharged at the end of t days of hospitalization is given by

Use differentials to approximate the change in the proportion
discharged if t changes from 300 to 305.

14.1 Differentials (3 of 4)
Example 3 – Continued
Solution:
The change in t from 300 to 305 is Δt = dt = 5. The change
in P is ΔP = P(305) − P(300). We approximate ΔP by dP :

14.2 The Infinite Integral (1 of 7)
An antiderivative of a function f is a function F such that
F ' ( x ) = f ( x ) . Equivalently, in different notation, dF = f (x)dx.

Any two antiderivatives of a function differ only by a constant.

We write ∫ f (x)dx = F(x) + C, which is read "the indefinite


integral of f (x) with respect to x." The symbol ∫ is called
the integral sign, f (x) is the integrand, and C is the constant
of integration. Here, x is the variable of integration.
F(x) + C is called the most general antiderivative of f (x).

14.3 Integration with Initial Conditions (1 of 5)
Example 1 – Initial-Condition Problem

If y is a function of x such that y ′ = 8 x - 4 and y (2) = 5, find y.


Also, find y (4).
Solution: Here, y (2) = 5 is the initial condition. Since
y′ = 8 x - 4, y is an antiderivative of 8 x - 4 :
x2
y = ò ( 8 x - 4 ) dx = 8 × - 4 x + C = 4 x 2 - 4 x + C.
2
Because y = 5 when x = 2, we have 5 = 4(2) 2 - 4(2) + C
5 = 16 - 8 + C
C = -3. Therefore, y = 4 x 2 - 4 x - 3 and
y (4) = 4(4) 2 - 4(4) - 3 = 45.

14.3 Integration with Initial Conditions (2 of 5)
Example 3 – Income and Education

For a particular urban group, sociologists studied the


current average yearly income y (in dollars) that a
person can expect to receive with x years of education
before seeking regular employment. They estimated that
the rate at which income changes with respect to education
dy
is given by = 100x 3/2 4 ≤ x ≤ 16
dx
where y = 28, 720 when x = 9. Find y.

Copyright © 2019 Pearson Canada Inc. All rights reserved. 14 - 17


14.3 Integration with Initial Conditions (3 of 5)
Example 3 – Continued

Solution: Here y is an antiderivative of 100x 3/2 . Thus,


5/2
x
y = ∫ 100x 3/2 dx = (100) 5 + C = 40x 5/2 + C.
2
The initial condition is that y = 28, 720 when x = 9.
y = 40x 5/2 + C
28, 720 = 40(9)5/2 + C = 40(243) + C
28, 720 = 9720 + C
Therefore, C = 19,000, and y = 40x 5/2 + 19,000

14.3 Integration with Initial Conditions (4 of 5)
Example 5 – Finding Cost from Marginal Cost

In the manufacture of a product, fixed costs per week are $4000.


Fixed costs are costs, such as rent and insurance, that remain
constant at all levels of production during a given time period.
If the marginal-cost function is
dc
dq
(
= 0.000001 0.002q 2 − 25q + 0.2 )
where c is the total cost (in dollars) of producing q kilograms of
product per week, find the cost of producing 10,000 kg in 1 week.

14.3 Integration with Initial Conditions (5 of 5)
Example 5 – Continued

( )
Solution: c ( q ) = ∫ ⎡⎣ 0.000001 0.002q 2 − 25q + 0.2 ⎤⎦ dq
= 0.000001∫ (0.002q 2 − 25q) + 0.2)dq
⎛ 0.002q 3 25q 2 ⎞
= 0.000001⎜ − ⎟ + 0.2q + C
⎝ 3 2 ⎠
When q = 0, c = 4000, which gives C = 4000. So we have
⎛ 0.002q 3 25q 2 ⎞
c(q) = 0.000001⎜ − ⎟ + 0.2q + 4000
⎝ 3 2 ⎠
c(10,000) = 5416 23 . Thus, the total cost for producing
10,000 kg of product in 1 week is $5416.67.

14.6 The Definite Integral (1 of 6)
In general, for a continuous function f defined on the interval
[a, b], where a < b, we can form the sums S n and S n , which are
obtained by considering the minimum and maximum values,
respectively, on each of n subintervals of equal length Δx.
Below is an illustration for f (x) = 2x, a = 0, b = 1, and n = 6.

The common limit of S n and S n as n ® ¥, if it exists, is called

the definite integral of f over [a, b] and is written ò f ( x ) dx.

The numbers a and b are called bounds of integration; a is
the lower bound, and b is the upper bound. The symbol x
is called the variable of integration and f ( x) is the integrand.

Integrate f (x) = x − 5 from x = 0 to x = 3; that is, evaluate ∫

Thus, ∫ (x − 5)dx = − . Since the value of f (x) is negative at

each right-hand endpoint, each term in Sn must also be negative.
Hence, the definite integral is negative.

Fundamental Theorem of Calculus


If f is continuous on the interval [a, b], then

∫a
f (x)dx = F(b) − F(a) where F is any antiderivative of f .
Usually, F(b) − F(a) is abbreviated by writing

Note that if a > b, then ∫ a

14.7 The Fundamental Theorem of Calculus
(5 of 5)
Since a function f is an antiderivative of f ′
, by the Fundamental
a
Theorem we have ò f ′( x ) dx = f ( b ) - f ( a )

Example 5 – Finding a Change in Function Values by


Definite Integration
dc
A manufacturer's marginal-cost function is = 0.6q + 2.If production is presently
dq
set at q = 80 units per week, how much more would it cost to increase production
to 100 units per week?
100
⎡ 0.6q 2 ⎤
100 100
dc
Solution: c (100 ) − c ( 80 ) = ∫ dq = ∫ ( 0.6q + 2 ) dq = ⎢ 2 + 2q ⎥
80
dq 80 ⎣ ⎦ 80
100
= ⎡⎣ 0.3q 2 + 2q ⎤⎦ = 3200 − 2080 = 1120
80
If c is in dollars, then the cost of increasing production from 80 units to 100 units
is $1120.
