 Origin of Integration

Area of a plane figure Integration is just the reverse

process of differentiation
y = f (x)
Example:
g(x) = 5x4

5x4 = x5

Also, = x5 + c
y′= f′ (x)

Area = f′ (x) General form

a b
Integrand
 Why it is called indefinite integration

Now, ∵ 5x4 = x5 + c ● Clearly, integral will change if ‘c’

changes
Here, c can be -1, -2, 0, 1, 2,..... Constant of
integration
It’s geometrical interpretation

Let f(x) = 2x, then,

f(x) = x2 + c

Family of integrals, For

different values of ‘c’, we
get different members of
family
 Practical Applications and weightage in JEE

● Population Estimation
● Sales Estimation
● Volume of curved surfaces
● Determining position of the objects

∵ v = ds / dt
Integral Calculus (Indefinite, definite,
Area under curve and differential
So, ds = v dt
equations) covers 15-20% weightage
in JEE
ds = v dt
