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 $\int (x\sqrt{x-1})dx$: + $$ + let\ u=x-1 \\ + ∴ \frac{du}{dx}=1 \\ + ∴ du=dx \\ + \begin{align*} + \int (x\sqrt{x-1})dx &\to \int(u+1)(u^\frac{1}{2})du \\ + &= \int(u^\frac{3}{2}+u^\frac{1}{2})du \\ + &= \frac{2}{5}u^\frac{5}{2}+\frac{2}{3}u^\frac{3}{2}+C \\ + &= \frac{2}{5}(x-1)^\frac{5}{2} + \frac{2}{3}(x-1)^\frac{3}{2} + C + \end{align*} + $$ + ## Resources - [IB Math Analysis and Approaches Syllabus](/resources/g11/ib-math-syllabus.pdf)
