INTEGRATION Let (x) be the primitive or antiderivative
of a function f(x) defined on [a, b] i.e.,
d
((x)) = f(x).
dx
Then the definite integral of f(x) over [a, b] The numbers a and b are called the limits of
b integration, 'a' is called the lower limit and
is denoted by  f(x) dx and is defined as
a
'b' the upper limit. The interval [a, b] is called
the interval of integration.
[(b) – (a)].
b
If we use the notation (x)ba to denote (b)
i.e.,  f(x) dx = (b) – (a)

– (a), then from (i), we have,

Let f be a continuous function defined on
bounded by the curve y = f (x), the
close interval [a, b]. Assume that all the
ordinates x = a, x = b and the x-axis. To
values taken by the function are non negative,
evaluate this area, consider the region PRSQP
so the graph of the function is a curve above
between this curve, x-axis and the ordinates
the x-axis.
x = a and x = b

Divide the interval [a, b] into n equal
subintervals denoted by

Remark 2 x
Q. Evaluate 0 e dx as the limit of a sum
The value of the definite integral of a function
over any particular interval depends on the
function and the interval, but not on the
variable of integration that we choose to
represent the independent variable. If the
independent variable is denoted by t or u
instead of x, we simply write the integral as
b b b
 f(t) dt or  f(u) du instead of  f(x)

Hence, the variable of integration is called a
dummy variable.

 f(x) dx =  f(x) dx +  f(x) dx, where

interchanged then its value changes by minus a < c < b.

The above property can be generalized into Q.  |x| dx.
