5: Integration
( \newcommand{\kernel}{\mathrm{null}\,}\)
- 5.2: Approximating Areas
- In this section, we develop techniques to approximate the area between a curve, defined by a function f(x), and the x-axis on a closed interval [a,b].
- 5.4: The Definite Integral
- If f(x) is a function defined on an interval [a,b], the definite integral of f from a to b is given by ∫baf(x)dx=limn→∞n∑i=1f(x∗i)Δx, provided the limit exists.
- 5.5: Definite Integral Intro Exercises
- 5.2 Exercises - these are good now
- 5.8: Average Value of a Function
- fave=1b−a∫baf(x)dx.
- 5.9: U-Substitution
- In this section we examine a technique, called integration by substitution, to help us find antiderivatives. Specifically, this method helps us find antiderivatives when the integrand is the result of a chain-rule derivative.
- 5.10: 5.5E and 5.6E U-Substitution Exercises
- These are homework exercises to accompany Chapter 5 of OpenStax's "Calculus" Textmap.
- 5.11: More U-Substitution - Exponential and Logarithmic Functions
- Also U-Substitution for Exponential and logarithmic functions.
- 5.12: 5.6 Notes
- Notes on Chapter 5 Exercises.
- 5.13: Net Change
- The net change theorem states that when a quantity changes, the final value equals the initial value plus the integral of the rate of change. Net change can be a positive number, a negative number, or zero.
- 5.14: includes Proof of The Fundamental Theorem of Calculus
- The Fundamental Theorem of Calculus gave us a method to evaluate integrals without using Riemann sums. The drawback of this method, though, is that we must be able to find an antiderivative, and this is not always easy.
- 5.7E: Net Change Exercises
- These are homework exercises to accompany Chapter 5 of OpenStax's "Calculus" Textmap.
