Consider the function y =
x
. Evaluate 0 x
dx and find the area of y =
x
.

Sinx
Y= is a divergent improper integral; for this reason, it is good to use adaptive integration
x
technique. It is known that an improper integral is easy to calculate away from its singularity or
bad point, and it is useful to use lots of points to approximate the integral near its singularity
Sinx
but not so many elsewhere. The graph of y = is the following:

Sinx
First, we will estimate from 0 to 1 of y = . After that we will calculate the derivative of y =
x
Sinx
and will estimate the area from 1 to 50.

The function y = converges more fast; so, if we estimate area from 1 to 50 of the

we wil get an approximate area for the function y =  dx .

The area of y = 

Cosx
The area of y =  dx is -0.0845312+1

So, the total area is approximately = 1.86155. (0.946083+1-0.0845312)

The derivation of the numbers from the integral  x ^ 2 dx is the following:

du =

The partial derivative formula is: u*v -  vdu . Plugging the values yield:

(

The answer 1.86 is much accurate because if we use NIntegrate, we get the answer 1.87.
