Intergration Flashcards
How do you integrate?
Increase the power by one and divide by the new power
How do you prepare for intergration?
Change roots to powers
X must not be on the denominator
Expand any pairs of brackets
When integrating an indefinite integral (one with no limits) what must we always remember?
+C
Why do we intergrate?
To find the area under a curve or to recover f (x) from f ‘(x)
What do you get if you intergrate sinx?
- cosx + c
What do you get if you intergrate cosx?
Sinx +c
What do you get if you intergrate sin(ax+b)?
-1/a cos(ax+b) +c
What do you get if you intergrate cos(ax+b)?
1/a sin(ax+b) +c
What do you get if you intergrate (ax+b) to the power of n?
(ax + b) to the power of n+1 / a (n+1) +c
What did we have to remember when the enclosed area is below the x-axis?
The answer will be negative, so we explain this fact and change the answer to positive
What do we have to remember when the area is partly above and below the x-axis?
We have to work out the areas separately ( one above x-axis, one below) then add them together
How do we find the area between two curves or a line and a curve?
Intergrate (curve above - cure below)
How do we find where the curves meet?
y=y and solve
What do we get if we integrate speed?
Distance
What do we do if we intergrate acceleration?
Speed
