Chapter 5 .3 Riemann Sums and Definite Integrals

5.3 The Area Problem• We want to find the area of the region S

(shown on the next slide) that lies under the curve y = f(x) from a to b, where f is a continuous function with f(x) ≥ 0.

• But what do we mean by “area”?• For regions with straight sides, this

question is easy to answer:

Area Problem (cont’d)

• For (see the figures on the next slide)…– a rectangle, the area is defined as length

times width;– a triangle, the area is half the base times

the height;– a polygon, the area is found by dividing the

polygon into triangles and adding the areas.

• But what if the region has curved sides?

time

velocity

After 4 seconds, the object has gone 12 feet.

Consider an object moving at a constant rate of 3 ft/sec.

Since rate . time = distance:

If we draw a graph of the velocity, the distance that the object travels is equal to the area under the line.

(dummy variable)

It is called a dummy variable because the answer does not

depend on the variable chosen.

If f(x) is continuous and non-negative on [a, b], then the definite integral represents the area of the

region under the curve and above the x-axis between the vertical lines x = a and x = b

5.7 The Fundamental Theorem

If you were being sent to a desert island and could take only one equation with you,

If f is continuous on , then the function ,a b

We can change the sign of the integral and reverse the limits.

(Also called the Integral Evaluation Theorem)

We already know this!To evaluate an integral, take the anti-derivatives and subtract.

Example 10:

The technique is a little different for definite integrals.

Let tanu x2sec du x dx

We can find new limits,

and then we don’t have to

substitute back.

Using the original limits:

Leave the limits out until you substitute

back.

This is usually

more work than finding

new limits
