F0 = f
Definition
A function F is an antiderivative of f on an interval I if
Think Backward
Question
Does a function have more than one antiderivative ?
Family of Antiderivatives
Let F be any antiderivative of f . Then
1 G(x) = F (x) + C0 is also an antiderivative of f
2 any and all the antiderivatives of f have the form F (x) + C,
where C is an arbitrary constant.
Definite Integral
Ak = f (xk ) · x
Definition
The Riemann Sum of the function f corresponding to the given
division of [a, b], and to the sample points xk of the division, is given
by
n
X
f (xk ) · x = f (x1 ) · x + f (x2 ) · x + · · · + f (xn ) · x
k=1
Note
If f (x) < 0 on [a, b], then the Riemann sum approximates the
negative area between the curve f (x) and the x axis.

provided the limit exists and does not depend on the choice of the
partition of [a, b] nor the sample points xk .

We need analogous notation that means find the antiderivative of f .
Definition
Let F be any antiderivative of f on the interval I. The indefinite
integral of f on I is the set of all antiderivatives of f on I.

Bad news
There is no ”Product Rule” nor ”Quotient Rule” for integration that
fit all cases.
Encouraging news
There are several integration techniques for products and quotients.

Definition
The rational function of the form
A Bx + C
or
(x a)n (ax2+ bx + c)n
Fact
A polynomial can be written as the product of linear factors of the
form (x a) and irreducible quadratic factors of the form ax2 + bx + c.
Fact
Every rational function can be written as a sum of partial fractions.
