INTEGRALS
7.1 Overview
d
7.1.1 Let F (x) = f (x). Then, we write ∫ f ( x ) dx = F (x) + C. These integrals are
dx
called indefinite integrals or general integrals, C is called a constant of integration. All
these integrals differ by a constant.
7.1.2 If two functions differ by a constant, they have the same derivative.
(i) The process of differentiation and integration are inverse of each other,
d
dx ∫ ∫ f ' ( x ) dx = f ( x ) + C ,
i.e., f ( x ) dx = f ( x ) and where C is any
arbitrary constant.
(ii) Two indefinite integrals with the same derivative lead to the same family of
curves and so they are equivalent. So if f and g are two functions such that
d d
dx ∫ f ( x ) dx =
dx ∫
g ( x) dx , then ∫ f ( x ) dx and ∫ g ( x ) dx are equivalent.
(iii) The integral of the sum of two functions equals the sum of the integrals of
the functions i.e., ∫ ( f ( x ) + g ( x ) ) dx = ∫ f ( x ) dx + ∫ g ( x ) dx .
144 MATHEMATICS
(iv) A constant factor may be written either before or after the integral sign, i.e.,
∫ (k f ( x) + k
1 1 2 f 2 ( x ) + ...+, kn f n ( x ) ) dx = k1 ∫ f1 ( x ) dx + k2 ∫ f 2 ( x ) dx + ... + kn ∫ f n ( x ) dx
There are some methods or techniques for finding the integral where we can not
directly select the antiderivative of function f by reducing them into standard forms.
Some of these methods are based on
1. Integration by substitution
2. Integration using partial fractions
3. Integration by parts.
The definite integral is denoted by ∫ f ( x ) dx , where a is the lower limit of the integral
a
and b is the upper limit of the integral. The definite integral is evaluated in the following
two ways:
b
(ii) ∫ f ( x ) dx = F(b) – F(a), if F is an antiderivative of f (x).

(i) Area function : The function A (x) denotes the area function and is given
x
by A (x) = ∫ f ( x ) dx .
a
Let f be a continuous function on the closed interval [a, b] and let A (x) be
the area function . Then A′ (x) = f (x) for all x ∈ [a, b] .
