## Integration
|
||||
|
||||
Integration is an operation that finds the **net** area under a curve, and is the opposite operation of differentiation. As such, it is also known as **anti-differentiation**.
|
||||
|
||||
The area under a curve between the interval of x-values $[a,b]$ is:
|
||||
$$A=\lim_{x\to\infty}\sum^n_{i=1}f(x_i)\Delta x$$
|
||||
|
||||
which can be simplified to, where $dx$ indicates that integration should be performed with respect to $x$:
|
||||
$$A=\int^b_a f(x)dx$$
|
||||
|
||||
While $\Sigma$ refers to a finite sum, $\int$ refers to the sum of a limit.
|
||||
|
||||
As integration is the opposite operation of differentiation, they can cancel each other out.
|
||||
$$\frac{d}{dx}\int f(x)dx=f(x)$$
|
||||
|
||||
The **integral** or **anti-derivative** of a function is capitalised by convention. Where $C$ is an unknown constant:
|
||||
$$\int f(x)dx=F(x)+C$$
|
||||
|
||||
When integrating, there is always an unknown constant $C$ as there are infinitely many possible functions that have the same rate of change but have different vertical translations.
|
||||
|
||||
!!! definition
|
||||
- $C$ is known as the **constant of integration**.
|
||||
- $f(x)$ is the **integrand**.
|
||||
|
||||
### Integration rules
|
||||
|
||||
$$
|
||||
\begin{align*}
|
||||
&\int 1dx &= &&x+C \\
|
||||
&\int (ax^n)dx, n≠-1 &=&&\frac{a}{n+1}x^{n+1} + C \\
|
||||
&\int (x^{-1})dx&=&&\ln|x|+C \\
|
||||
&\int (ax+b)^{-1}dx&=&&\frac{\ln|ax+b|}{a}+C \\
|
||||
&\int (ae^{kx})dx &= &&\frac{a}{k}e^{kx} + C \\
|
||||
&\int (\sin kx)dx &= &&\frac{-\cos kx}{k}+C \\
|
||||
&\int (\cos kx)dx &= &&\frac{\sin kx}{k}+C \\
|
||||
\end{align*}
|
||||
$$
|
||||
|
||||
Similar to differentiation, integration allows for constant multiples to be brought out and terms to be considered individually.
|
||||
|
||||
$$
|
||||
\begin{align*}
|
||||
&\int k\cdot f(x)dx&=&&k\int f(x)dx \\
|
||||
&\int[f(x)\pm g(x)]dx&=&&\int f(x)dx \pm \int g(x)dx
|
||||
\end{align*}
|
||||
$$
|
||||
|
||||
### Indefinite integration
|
||||
|
||||
The indefinite integral of a function contains every possible anti-derivative — that is, it contains the constant of integration $C$.
|
||||
$$\int f(x)dx=F(x)+C$$
|
||||
|
||||
### Substitution rule
|
||||
|
||||
Similar to limit evaluation, the substitution of complex expressions involving $x$ and $dx$ with $u$ and $du$ can be done.
|
||||
|
||||
??? example
|
||||
To solve $\int (x\sqrt{x-1})dx$:
|
||||
$$
|
||||
let\ u=x-1 \\
|
||||
∴ \frac{du}{dx}=1 \\
|
||||
∴ du=dx \\
|
||||
\begin{align*}
|
||||
\int (x\sqrt{x-1})dx &\to \int(u+1)(u^\frac{1}{2})du \\
|
||||
&= \int(u^\frac{3}{2}+u^\frac{1}{2})du \\
|
||||
&= \frac{2}{5}u^\frac{5}{2}+\frac{2}{3}u^\frac{3}{2}+C \\
|
||||
&= \frac{2}{5}(x-1)^\frac{5}{2} + \frac{2}{3}(x-1)^\frac{3}{2} + C
|
||||
\end{align*}
|
||||
$$
