- Definite Integral
- Definition of the Definite Integral
- If the function
is continuous over the interval including two real numbers and , and is an indefinite integral of , then the change in as varies from to , denoted by , is called the definite integral of from to . It is represented symbolically as:
Hence,
This can also be written as:
Threfore,
To compute the value of the definite integral, we say we are integrating the function from to , where is called the lower limit and is the upper limit. The interval is referred to as the integration interval. - If
is continuous over an interval including two real numbers and , the following properties hold: -
-
- Relationship between Integration and Differentiation
Ifis continuous on the closed interval , then the definite integral of from to (where ) is:
Therefore, the following holds:
In general, the relationship between integration and differentiation is given by:
