What is Integration?

Integration is a fundamental concept in calculus that finds the antiderivative of a function. It is the reverse process of differentiation. If differentiation finds the rate of change, integration finds the original function.

Types of Integration

  • Indefinite Integration: Finds the general antiderivative F(x) + C. The constant C represents all possible vertical shifts.
  • Definite Integration: Calculates the area under a curve between two limits a and b.

Basic Rules

∫k dx = kx + C (k is constant)

∫x^n dx = x^(n+1)/(n+1) + C

∫[f(x) + g(x)] dx = ∫f(x)dx + ∫g(x)dx

Applications of Integration

  • Area under curve: Calculate the area bounded by a function and x-axis
  • Volume: Find volume of solids of revolution
  • Physics: Calculate work, electric potential
  • Probability: Find probability distributions

Fundamental Theorem of Calculus

The Fundamental Theorem links differentiation and integration:

∫ₐᵇ f(x) dx = F(b) - F(a)

Where F(x) is the antiderivative of f(x)
