Integrals Flashcards
Indefinite integral (∫____ dx)
Find the antiderivative of the ‘integrand’ contained
Integrand
The argument that is to be turned into the integral
Indefinite integrals to of a power
∫x^p dx=[x^(p+1)]/[p+1]+C
Quantity x raised to one an additional power over the entire exponent
Plus a constant
Integrals for functions multiplied by a constant
∫ c*f(x) dx=c(∫f(x) dx)
Same as that constant multiplied by the integral of that function
Integral of sums
∫ f(x)+g(x) dx=(∫f(x)dx)+(∫g(x)dx)
The integral is the sum of the integrals of each term
Integral of cos(ax)
∫cos(ax)dx= [sin(ax)]/a+C
Switched to sin and divided by ‘a’
Plus a constant
Integral of sin(ax)
∫cos(ax)dx= -[cos(ax)]/a+C
Switched to cos and divided by ‘-a’
Plus a constant
Integral of sec^2(ax)
∫sec^2(ax)dx= [tan(ax)]/a+C
Becomes tan(ax), and divided by a Plus the constant
Integral of csc^2(ax)

∫(1/x)dx=ln|x|+C
Natural log (x) Plus a constant
Family of functions
Same integral but the constant varies
Go up and down on the y-axis
Integrals of acceleration
∫a(t)=v(t) Velocity
∫∫a(t)=s(t) Position
Integal of velocity
∫v(t)=s(t)
Position
Regular partition
Integration method whereby the domain is divided into equally spaced rectangles, the midpoint of each reaches up to the output on the curve
Reimann sum
Sum of the areas of all regular partition rectangles
Σ(f(x)Δx)=(f(x1)Δx)+…+…
On the interval [a,b]
Left Reimann-Sum
Sum rectangles from the upper-left corner
Underestimates on positive intervals
Overestimates on negative intervals
n-measurements start at f(0) and increase by units of Δx
Σ(f(n)*Δx)
Right Reimann Sum
Sum rectangles from the upper-right corner
Overestimates on positive intervals
Underestimates on negative intervals
n-measurements start at f(Δx) and continue to increase by units of Δx
Σ(f(n)*Δx)
Midpoint Reimann Sum
Sum rectangles from the middle of the interval
Neither overestimates or underestimates on either interval
n-measurements start at f(Δx.5) and continue to increase by units of Δx
Σ(f(n)Δx)
Definite integral
When n-measurements start at f(Δx.5) and continue to increase by units of Δx
Lim as Δx→0 Σ(f(n)Δx)=∫f(x)
Or
Lim as n→∞ Σ(f(n)*Δx)=∫f(x)
Closed integrals
If there is no interval, there is no integral
∫[a,a] f(x)dx=0
Reverse integrals
When the integral is flipped, it becomes negative
∫[a,b] f(x)dx= -∫[b,a] f(x)dx=0
Trapezoid area (under a linear function)
On the interval [a,b]
A(x)=Δx*[f(a)+f(b)]/2
Fundamental theorem of Calculus (Part 1)
Memorize word for word
“If f is continuous on [a,b], then the area function A(x)=∫[a,x] f(t)dt.
For a<b></b>

Fundamental theorem of Calculus (Part 2)
Memorize word for word
“If f is continuous on [a,b] and F is any antiderivative of f, then
∫[a,b] f(x)dx =F(b)-F(a)”
Integral of an odd function
If on the interval [-a,a]
Then always equal to 0
Integral of an even function
If on the interval [-a,a],
then 2*([0,a] f(x)dx)
Average function value from integrals
(∫[a,b]f(x)dx)/(b-a)
Substituting within integrals
When you have f(g(x)) you must also put g'(x)dx Substitute u=g(x) du=g'(x)dx f(u)du The interval [a,b] becomes [g(a),g(b)]
Distance Traveled
s(b)-s(a)= |∫v(t)| = |∫∫a(t)|
On interval [a,b]
Position from velocity
s(t)=s(ti)+∫v(x)dx
