DEFINITIONS & FUNDAMENTAL THEOREM OF CALCULUS

Definitions:
A. Definite Integral
Suppose f(x) is continuous on [a,b]. Divided [a,b] into n subintervals of width x and

x
f ( i ) x .

choose

i=1
x i from each interval. Then
f ( x ) dx=lim The definite integral of f(x) is a
n

number and represents the area under the curve f(x) from x=a to x=b.

B. Indefinite Integral
The indefinite integral of f(X) is a function and answers the question, What function
when differentiated gives f(x)?. Indefinite integrals doesnt have the limits of
integration.

C. Antiderivative
Antiderivatives are a function f is a differentiable function F whose derivative is equal to
the original function f. This can be stated symbolically as F = f. The process of solving
for antiderivatives is called antidifferentiation (or indefinite integration) and its opposite
operation is called differentiation, which is the process of finding a derivative.
