Integration and Its Applications 
Learning Objectives

In this chapter, we will


(a) apply the standard formulae to solve indefinite integral including the
f '(x) 1 1
integration of , sin 2 x , cos 2 x , tan 2 x , 2 , ,
f(x) a x 2
a2  x2
1 1
and 2 ;
a x
2 2
x  a2
(b) solve integration by using a given substitution;
(c) solve integration by parts;
(d) define definite integral as a limit of sum and interpret it as the area
under a curve;
(e) apply anti-derivatives to evaluate definite integral;
(f) find the area of a region bounded by a curve and lines parallel to the
coordinate axes, between a curve and a line, or between two curves;
(g) find area below the x-axis;
(h) find the area under a curve defined parametrically;
(i) find the volume of revolution about the x- or y-axis;
(j) find the numerical value of a definite integral using a graphic calculator;

§   5.1   Introduction
The first documented systematic technique capable of determining integrals
is the method of exhaustion of Eudoxus (ca. 370 BC), which sought to find
areas and volumes by breaking them up into an infinite number of shapes for
which the area or volume was known. This method was further developed
and employed by Archimedes and used to calculate areas for parabolas and
an approximation to the area of a circle (Figure 1.1).

Newton and Leibniz


The major advance in integration came in the 17th century with the
independent discovery of the fundamental theorem of
calculus by Newton and Leibniz. The theorem demonstrates a connection
between integration and differentiation. The modern notation for the
indefinite integral was introduced by Gottfried Leibniz in 1675.

§   5.2   Integration as Anti‐derivative  
Definition:
A function F is called an anti-derivative or an indefinite integral of a
d
given function f if F( x)  f ( x) .
dx

Chapter 5: Integration and Its Applications

d 3
For example, since x  3x 2 , we say that x 3 is an anti-derivative of 3x 2 .  
dx

Notice that 3x 2 has many anti-derivatives, since x3  1 , x3  2 and x3  1 all


have derivative 3x 2 . Thus in fact, if C is any constant, we have
d 3
( x  C )  3x 2  0  3x 2 .
dx

§   5.3   Indefinite and Definite Integral 

If the given function is f and F is an anti-derivative of f, this can be written as:


 f ( x) dx  F( x)  C .

Some Properties of Indefinite Integrals:

Let f and g be two functions. Then


(i)  k f ( x)dx  k  f ( x)dx , where k is a real constant.
(ii)  [f ( x)  g( x)]dx   f ( x) dx   g( x) dx .
Definite Integral

The definite integral of f(x) with respect to x with lower limit a and
b
upper limit b is written as  f ( x) dx . It is defined as
a

f ( x) dx  value of  f ( x) dx when x  b  value of  f ( x) dx when x  a


b
 a    

Thus if  f  x  dx  F  x   C , then
 f ( x) dx  F  b   C   F  a   C   F  b   F  a 

Evaluating definite integrals using TI84+

In this section, we would explore the usage of the graphic calculator to


evaluate the definite integrals.

۞ Example 1
π
Evaluate the integral  0
x sin x dx using a graphic calculator.
We can make use of the graphic calculator by doing the following steps:

 Ensure that you have the correct mode


(FUNC mode).

 Press 2ND QUIT to return to Home Screen.

 Press ALPHA WINDOW and then select option


4: fnInt( .

 Key the expression into the calculator as


shown on the right, using the arrow keys to
move to the different sections.

 Press ENTER and the result will be given.

 Note
Graphing Calculator (G.C.) only gives you the approximate (or numerical)
value of the definite integral. If the question asks explicitly for EXACT
answer, you cannot use G.C.

denominator can be factorized. If it can be factorized, use partial
fraction to solve the integral.

(d) Integration by Substitution

Generally, to find an integral  f ( x)dx by means of a given


substitution x  h  u  ,
dx
Step 1: find  h '(u ) ,
du
dx
Step 2: write  f  x  d x   f  h  u  
du   f  h  u   h '  u  du ,
du
Step 3: perform the integration with respect to the new variable u.
For indefinite integrals, convert the result back in terms of the
original variable x.

 Note
b
For definite integrals  f ( x)dx , the limits a and b refer to the value of x.
a
Hence, if we change the variable from x to u, the limits will not be a and b
anymore. We need to find the values of u that correspond to the given
values of x before doing step 2.

§   5.5   Applications of Integration 

(a)   The Definite Integral and Area  
(1) Definite Integral as the Limit of a Sum

Consider finding the area of the region enclosed by the curve y = f(x), the x-
axis and the lines x  a and x  b , where f(x) is a continous real function
such that f ( x)  0 for a  x  b .

Let A be the area under the curve y = f(x), from x = a to b (i.e., RLST). Divide
the area A into many rectangular strips of equal width, e.g. MNQW. Let
the width of each strip be δx .

Let δAi be the area of a typical strip MNQW. Then, δAi  yi δx and the
required area A can now be found by summing the areas of all the strips from
x = a to x = b.

Thus we have A  δA1  δA1  δA2  ...  δAn


= sum of area of n rectangles, each with width δx from x =
a to x = b.
= ( y1  y2  ...  yn )δx

As δx  0 , the approximation becomes more accurate. Thus we obtain


A  lim  y1  y2    yn δx   y dx, where y  f ( x) .

(Area under a curve is the limit of a sum of the areas of rectangles.)

There are two methods to calculate the area under a graph using graphic
calculator. Both methods are shown in Example 20.

۞ Example 21

Find the area of the regions bounded by the curve y  x( x  2)( x  1) and the
x-axis,
(a) correct to 3 decimal places.
(b) giving your answer in exact form

Solution

38
Chapter 5: Integration and Its Applications

(a) Method 1: Consider the areas above and below the x-axis separately.
0 2
Area of region =  1
x( x  2)( x  1) dx  
0
x( x  2)( x  1) dx

= 0.41666667 + 2.666667 = 3.083 units 2 (3 d.p.)

Method 2: Use the function abs( which can be found by pressing ALPHA
WINDOW 1 to make ‘negative areas’ become positive. Sketch the graph of
y  x( x  2)( x  1) and find the area under this graph from x  1 to x  2 .

Note that we can also press ALPHA WINDOW 4 to choose fnInt( to find the
definite integral of a function. However using this method will not enable us
to see the graph. Therefore, always ‘make the graph positive’ by using the
function abs(.

 Note
If we calculate the required area without considering the area above and
below the x-axis separately, we will key in ‘Lower Limit’ as –1 and ‘Upper
Limit’ as 2 after Step (4) and obtain the answer –2.25, which is incorrect.

(iv) Area under a curve given by parametric equations

We know that the area under a curve can be given by


A   y dx or A   x dy .

If the equation of the curve is expressed in parametric form, say x  f (t ) ,


y  g(t ) , then
dx
A   y dx   g  t  dt   g  t  f '  t  d t

or A   x dy   f  t 
dt   f  t  g '  t  d t .
dt
This is similar to the method of integration by substitution. For definite
integrals, we will also need to find the values of t that correspond to the
given values of x and/or y.

۞ Example 25

An arc of the curve is called a cycloid if its parametric equations are given by
x  a (t  sin t ) , y  a(1  cos t ) for 0  t  2π . Prove that the area of the
region enclosed by the curve and the x-axis is 3πa 2 , where a is a given
positive constant.

Solution
Use G.C. to obtain the shape of the curve (by letting a = 1 or any positive
constant).

When y = 0, a(1  cos t )  0  cos t  1  t  0 or 2π

(b) Volumes of Revolution

(1) Rotation about the x-axis


When the region R bounded by the curve y  f ( x) , the x-axis and the lines

below is obtained. Our aim is to find a formula for the volume V of the solid.

We divide the region R into n strips, each of width δx , as shown in the


diagram below. Each strip is regarded as a rectangle. When each rectangle is
rotated through 360 about the x-axis, we get a circular disc. There are n
such circular discs in the solid and we use the total volume of these n discs to
help us find the volume V of the solid.

Let δ Vk denote the volume of the kth disc (see diagram above). Then

When we use an infinite number of discs and find the total volume of these
