Integration and Its Applications

§ 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).

§ 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) .

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

§ 5.3 Indefinite and 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
Thus if f x dx F x C , then
f ( x) dx F b C F a C F b F a

Evaluate the integral 0

We can make use of the graphic calculator by doing the following steps:
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.

For definite integrals f ( x)dx , the limits a and b refer to the value of x.

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

(i) a product of two functions of which at least one of them is
directly integrable. (Example 17)
(ii) inverse trigonometric functions and logarithmic functions.

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.

There are two methods to calculate the area under a graph using graphic

۞ Example 21

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
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.
