Motivating question

What if?

We know the velocity function of an object, but we want toknow the position function.

We want to recover a function from its known rate of change.

Definition

A function F is an antiderivative of f on an interval I ifF ′(x) = f (x) for all x ∈ I .

The process of recovering a function F (x) from its derivative f (x) iscalled antidifferentiation.

Antiderivatives

Exercise

Find an antiderivative for each of the following functions.

(a) f (x) = 2x

(b) g(x) = 5x

(c) h(t) = 4t2 − 3t7

(d) h(x) =√x3 + 2

5√x2

Theorem

If F is an antiderivative of f on an interval I , then the most generalantiderivative of f on I is

F (x) + C

where C is an arbitrary constant.

Particular antiderivative

The previous theorem provides that the most general antiderivative off on I is a family of functions whose graphs are vertical translates ofone another. We can select a particular antiderivative from thisfamily by assigning a specific value to C .

Indefinite integral

Definition

The set of all antiderivatives of f is the indefinite integral of f withrespect to x , denoted by ∫

f (x)dx .

The symbol∫

is an integral sign. The function f is the integrand ofthe integral, and x is the variable of integration.

Example

(a)∫

(x + 1)dx =x2

2+ x + C , C ∈ R

(b)∫ √

2x − 1dx =23(2x − 1)3/2

Definite integral - Motivating question

What is the area of the shadedregion R that lies above thex-axis, below the graph ofy = 1− x2 and between thevertical lines x = 0 and x = 1?

Approximating Area

The area of a region with a curved boundary can be approximated bysumming the areas of a collection of rectangles. Using morerectangles can increase the accuracy of the approximation.

Definite integral

Definition

Geometrically∫ b

af (x)dx is the signed area of the region that lies

between the x-axis, the graph of y = f (x) and the vertical lines x = aand x = b. Evaluation of the integral means finding the exact area.

Natural question: can this definite integral evaluated for everyfunction f (x)? (No.)

Theorem

A continuous function is integrable. That is, if a function f iscontinuous on an interval [a, b], then its definite integral over [a, b]exists.

Total area

IMPORTANT

Definite integral is not the total area.

To find the area between the graph of y = f (x) and the x-axis overthe interval [a, b], do the following.

(1) Subdivide [a, b] at the zeros of f .

(2) Integrate f over each subinterval.

(3) Add the absolute values of the integrals.

Exercise

Find the total area of the region between the x-axis and the graph off (x) = x3 − x2 − 2x , −1 ≤ x ≤ 2.
