Integration by Parts: Definite Integrals

Definite integrals involving the product of two functions over a fixed interval can be evaluated using integration by parts. This method rewrites the integral as the difference of a product evaluated at the endpoints and a remaining definite integral that is often simpler to compute.A representative example is the definite integral of the inverse tangent function. Since there is no direct integration formula for arctan ⁡x, the integrand is rewritten as a product of arctan⁡ x and the...

Definite Integral

Consider a real-valued function defined on a closed interval. One of the fundamental objectives in calculus is to determine the area under the graph of such a function. When an exact computation is not readily available, this area can be estimated by dividing the interval into a finite number of equal subintervals. Each subinterval corresponds to a rectangle whose width is the length of the subinterval and whose height is determined by the value of the function at a selected point within that...

Properties of Definite Integral I

A car’s motion over time can be effectively analyzed using integral calculus, particularly through the concept of the definite integral applied to a velocity–time relationship. The definite integral describes how velocity accumulates over a specified time interval to produce total displacement. From a geometric perspective, this displacement is interpreted as the area under the velocity–time curve. Several key properties of definite integrals make it easier to analyze motion...

Properties of Definite Integral II

Definite integrals are essential tools in calculus, used to quantify accumulated change over an interval. A common physical application is calculating the total displacement from a velocity-time graph. If a velocity function, v(t), describes the motion of an object over time, the definite integral gives the net displacement between times a and b. This integral corresponds to the signed area under the velocity curve between those two points.Two fundamental properties of definite integrals aid in...

Absolute and Local Extreme Values01:22

Absolute and Local Extreme Values

The highest and lowest values of a function, relative to a reference axis, are known as extreme values. These include absolute maximum and absolute minimum values, which represent the highest and lowest points the function reaches across its entire domain. Within a restricted portion of the function, the highest and lowest values are referred to as local maximum and local minimum values, respectively.Periodic functions, such as sine and cosine, show extreme values at infinitely many points due...

Properties of Definite Integral III

The definite integral plays a critical role in understanding motion, particularly when calculating how far an object has traveled over time. Two important principles that emerge from this application are the Positivity Property and the Comparison Property of definite integrals. These properties provide intuitive physical interpretations based on velocity and displacement.Positivity Property of Definite IntegralsThe Positivity Property states that if an object’s velocity remains...
