I. ANTI-DERIVATIVE

A. Definition
A function F is said to be an anti-derivative of a function f if F'(x) = f(x) on some interval.

Example 1:
Given f(x) = 2x. The anti-derivative F(x) is x2 since F'(x) = 2x.

There is always more than one anti-derivative of a function. For instance, in the foregoing example,
F1 (x ) = x 2 − 1 and F2 (x ) = x 2 + 10 are also anti-derivatives of f(x) = 2x since F1' (x ) = F2' (x ) = f (x ) .
Indeed, if F is an anti-derivative of a function f, then so is G(x) = F(x) + C, for any constant C. This is
a consequence of the fact that

d
G' (x ) = F (x ) + C  = F ' (x )+ 0 = F ' (x ) = f (x )
dx

Thus, F(x) + C stand for a set of functions of which each member has a derivative equal to f(x).

Example 2:
Show that F1(x) = x3, F2(x) = x3 + 1, and F3(x) = x3 -  are anti-derivatives of f(x) = 3x2. How about the
function G(x) = x3 + C, where C is any constant?

Theorem 1
If G'(x) = F'(x) for all x in some interval [a, b], then

G ( x )= F ( x )+ C (1)

for all x in the interval.

B. Indefinite Integral Notation

For convenience, let’s introduce a notation for an anti-derivative of a function. If F'(x) = f(x), we shall
represent the most general anti-derivative of f by

 f (x ) dx = F (x ) + C (2)
 Lecture Notes 1: The Integral 2
Engr. Caesar Pobre Llapitan

which is read “the indefinite integral of f(x) with respect to x equals F(x) plus C.”
▪ The symbol  is called an integral sign, and the notation  f(x) dx is called the indefinite integral
of f(x) with respect to x.
▪ The function f(x) is called the integrand.
▪ The differential dx reminds us that the integration is performed with respect to the variable
x.
▪ The function F is an antiderivative of f, and the constant C is called a constant of
integration.
▪ The process of finding an anti-derivative is called anti-differentiation or integration.

II. Solve the following problems.

1. The point (3, 2) is on a curve, and at any point (x, y) on the curve the tangent line has a slope
equal to 2x – 3. Find the equation of the curve.

Solution:
dy
Using the definition of slope: m= = f (x)
dx

We are given that at any point (x, y) on the curve the tangent line has a slope equal m = 2x – 3 with
condition that the point (3, 2) is on the curve.

Therefore, formulating the problem:

dy
= m = 2x − 3 with (x = 3, y = 2)
dx

Solving the differential equation, we separate the variables and integrate both sides of the equation:
dy = ( 2 x − 3 ) dx

 dy =  ( 2x − 3) dx
y = x 2 − 3x + C (i)

Equation (i) represents a family of curves. To find a specific curve, we evaluate the constant C from
the given point, (x = 3, y = 2), where the curve passes through. Thus,
2 = 32 − 3 ( 3) + C  C =2

Hence, the equation of the curve is

y = x 2 − 3x + 2 Answer

2. The points (-1, 3) and (0, 2) are on a curve, and at any point (x, y) on the curve = 2 − 4x .
dx 2
Find an equation of the curve.

Solution:
d2y
We are given a second-order differential equation of a curve = 2 − 4 x , where at any point (x, y)
dx 2
on the curve, points (-1, 3) and (0, 2) satisfies the equation of the curve.

Formulating the problem with the given conditions:

d2y
= 2 − 4x at points (-1, 3) and (0, 2)
dx 2

The order of differentiation implies that we integrate twice in order to find the unknown function.
Note that at each succeeding integration processes, two constants of integration will be created. Thus,

Equation (ii) represents the family of curves. Now, evaluate the value of C1 and C2 using the conditions
for which the curve passes through. Thus,

II. INDEFINITE INTEGRAL AND THE u-SUBSTITUTION

A. The Chain Rule

Theorem 3: Indefinite Integral of the Chain Rule
If F is an anti-derivative of f, then

 f g(x )g' (x )dx = F g(x ) + C (6)

Proof:
By the chain rule
d
F g(x ) = F ' g(x ) g' (x )
dx
= f g(x ) g' (x )
 Lecture Notes 1: The Integral 6
Engr. Caesar Pobre Llapitan

Hence, from the definition of an anti-derivative

f g(x ) g' (x ) dx = F g(x ) + C

x n +1
In particular, if F (x ) = , n a rational number, and if u = g(x) is a differentiable function,
n +1
then

F g(x ) =
g(x )n +1 and
d
F g(x ) = g(x ) g' (x )
n

n +1 dx

Hence,
g(x ) n+1

 g(x ) g' (x )dx = +C

n
(7)
n+1

On a practical level, it is often helpful to change the variable in an integration problem by employing
the substitution

u = g(x) du = g'(x) dx

Thus, if n is a rational number and u = g(x) is at differentiable function, then for n  1

III. THE SIGMA NOTATION

A. Definitions
An integral is either indefinite or definite. Later on, we shall see that the definite integral is defined as
the limit of a certain kind of sum. Therefore, it is helpful to introduce a special notation that enables
us to write an indicated sum of constants such as 1 + 2 + 3 + … + n; 22 + 42 + … + (2n)2; and 1/3 + ¼
+ … + 1/2n-1 in a concise manner.

Let ak be a real number depending on an integer k. We denote the sum a1 + a2 + … + an by the symbol
n

a
k =1
k (10)

where:
 = Greek letter sigma = sigma notation or summation notation
k = index of summation = “dummy” variable

n
The sum a
k =1
k is read “the sum of ak where k runs from 1 to n.”

Note:
The index of summation need not start at the value k = 1. However, it is better to start at k =
1 for convenience rather than necessity!

For instance:
10 9 10 10 10

 (2k − 1) =  (2k + 1)
k =1 k =0

k =1
4k = 

IV. AREA UNDER A GRAPH

As the derivative is motivated by the geometric problem of constructing a tangent to a curve, the
historical problem leading to the definition of a definite integral is the problem of finding area.
Specifically, we are interested in finding the area A of a region bounded between the x-axis, the graph
of a non-negative function y = f(x) defined on some interval [a, b], and a) the vertical lines x = a and
y = b or b) the x-intercepts of the graph. We shall call this area, simply, the area under the graph f.

Consider now the problem of finding the area A under the graph of a continuous function y = f(x) on
interval [a, b].
 Lecture Notes 1: The Integral 16
Engr. Caesar Pobre Llapitan

The area A can be approximated by adding the areas of n rectangles as follows:

1. Partition the interval [a, b] into n subintervals [xk - 1, xk] where x0 = a, xn = b, and
a = x0 < x1 < x2 < … < xn - 1 < xn = b.
2. Denote the length of each subinterval by xk, where xk = xk – xk – 1. The subintervals are not
necessarily of the same length.
3. Choose any number x k* in each subinterval.
( )
4. Form the product f x k* x k . This represents the area of a rectangle on the kth subinterval.

Form the sum  f (x )x

n
*
5. k k . This is the sum of the areas of the n rectangles and represents an
k =1
approximation to the value of A.

Definition of the Concept of Area under a Graph

Let f be continuous on [a, b] and f(x)  0 for all x in the interval. We define the area A under
the graph on the interval to be

 f (x )Δx
n
A = lim *
k k (11)
Δxk →0
k =1

In a practical sense, when using the formula above, we do two things:

1. Partition the interval [a, b] into n subintervals of equal length. Since (b – a) is the total length
of the given interval, then x = (b – a)/n is the length of each of the n intervals.
2. Choose the xk* to be the right endpoint of each subinterval. Thus, if x0 = a, then

V. THE DEFINITE INTEGRAL

 f (x )x
n
*
Sum such as k k for various partitions [a, b] are known as Riemann sum and are
k =1
named after the famous German mathematician Georg Friedrich Benhard Riemann (1826-1860).

The Riemann sum does not require that f be either continuous or nonnegative on the

 f (x )x
n
*
interval [a, b]. Thus, k k does not necessarily represent an approximation to the area
k =1
under a graph. Keep in mind that “area under a graph” refers to the area bounded between the
graph of a nonnegative function and the x-axis. If f(x) < 0 on [a, b], a Riemann sum could contain

 ( ) ( )  f (x )x
n n
terms f x k* x k , where f x k*  0 . In this case the products *
k k are numbers that are the
k =1 k =1
negatives of the areas of rectangles drawn below the x-axis. Therefore, if the Riemann sums

 f (x )x
n
*
k k are close to a number L for every partition P of [a, b] for which the norm P is close to
k =1
zero, we then write

 f (x )x
n
*
lim k k =L
P →0
k =1

and say that L is the definite integral of f on the interval [a, b]. If the limit exists, the function f is said
to be integrable on the interval [a, b].

Definition of the Definite Integral

Let f be a function defined on closed interval [a, b]. Then the definite integral of f from a to b,
b
denoted by  a
f ( x ) dx , is defined to be

 f (x )Δx
n
f (x )dx = lim
b

*
k k (13)
a P →0
k =1

The numbers a and b in the preceding definition are called the lower and upper limits of integration,
respectively. Note that a definite integral need not be an area!

Geometric Interpretation of the Definite Integral

The positive (negative) terms in the Riemann sum are associated with the areas of the rectangles that
lie above (below) the x-axis.

As f gets larger and larger, the sums of the areas of the rectangles lying above the x-axis seem to give
a better and better approximation of the area of the region lying above the x-axis. Similarly, the sums
of the area of the rectangles lying below the x-axis seem to give a better and better approximation of
the area of the region lying below the x-axis.
 Lecture Notes 1: The Integral 19
Engr. Caesar Pobre Llapitan

This observation suggests that we interpret the definite integral

b n

 f (x )dx = lim  f (c ) Δx
k k
a n →
k =1

as a difference of areas. Specifically,

b
 f (x )dx =
a
area of S 1 − area of S 2 + area of S 3

where S2 is the region lying above the graph of f and below the x-axis.

More generally,
areas of the regions above  a, b  − areas of the regions below a,b 

VI. THE FUNDAMENTAL THEOREM OF THE INTEGRAL CALCULUS

The First Fundamental Theorem of the Calculus

Let the function f be continuous on the closed interval [a, b] and let x be any number in [a, b].
If F is the function defined by
x
F (x ) =  f (t )dt (17)
a

Then
d x
f (t )dt = f (x )
dx a
F’(x) = f(x)  (18)

Proof:
Consider two numbers x1 and x1+x in [a, b].
x1
F (x 1 ) =
 f (t )dt a
x1 + x
F (x + a ) = 
1 f (t )dt
a
So that
x1 + x x1
F (x 1 + x ) − F (x 1 ) =  f (t )dt −  f (t )dt
a a

Also
x1 + x x1 x1 + x
 f (t )dt =  f (t )dt +  f (t )dt
a a x1
x1 + x x1 x1 + x
 f (t )dt −  f (t )dt =  f (t )dt
a a x1

By the mean-value theorem for integrals

x1 + x
 f (t )dt = f (c ) x
x1

F (x 1 + x ) − F (x 1 ) = f (c ) x
F (x 1 + x ) − F (x 1 )
= f (c )
x
F (x 1 + x ) − F (x 1 )
lim = lim f (c )
x →0 x x →0

Since c is any point between x1 and x1+x,

lim x 1 = x 1 and lim (x 1 + x ) = x 1
x →0 x →0

Therefore, by the squeeze theorem

lim f (c ) = x 1
x →0

Hence,
F ' (x 1 ) = f (x 1 )

Generally,
F ' (x ) = f (x )

The Second Fundamental Theorem of the Calculus

Let the function f be continuous on the closed interval [a, b] and let g be a function such that

 f (t )dt = g(b ) − g(a ) .

b
g’(x) = f(x), for all x in [a, b]. Then
a

Proof:
Consider
x
 f (t )dt = F (x )
a

F ' (x ) = f (x )

It follows that
g( x ) = F ( x ) + k
x
g( x ) =  f (t )dt + k
a

b
Let x = b: g(b ) =  f (t )dt + k
a
a
Let x = a: g(a ) =  f (t )dt + k
