THE DEFINITE INTEGRAL

OBJECTIVES:

•define and interpret definite integral,

•identify and distinguish the different properties of
the definite integrals; and
•evaluate definite integrals
 
 
 
 
THE DEFINITE INTEGRAL
If F(x) is the integral of f(x)dx, that is, F’(x) = f(x)dx
and if a and b are constants, then the definite
integral is: b
 f ( x )dx  F  x   a
b
a

 F( b )  F( a )
where a and b are called lower and upper limits of
integration, respectively.

The definite integral link the concept of area to other

important concepts such as length, volume, density,
probability, and other work.
To obtain the definite integral of a function,
evaluate first its indefinite integral. Then applying
the limits of integration, that is, substitute the
upper limit of integration to all the variables
contained in the indefinite integral, minus the
function value of the indefinite integral using the
lower limit of integration.
