7.1 - Antiderivatives We have been solving situations dealing
with total amounts of quantities Derivatives deal with the rate of change of
those quantities Since it’s not always possible to find
functions that deal with the total amount, we need to be able to find the rate of change of a given quantity
Antidifferentiation is needed in this case
![Page 3: Chapter 7: Integration JMerrill, 2009. 7.1 - Antiderivatives WWWWe have been solving situations dealing with total amounts of quantities DDDDerivatives](https://reader038.vdocuments.mx/reader038/viewer/2022110304/551c238d550346b24f8b5d18/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
7.1 - Antiderivatives
If F(x) = 10x, then F’(x) = 10. F(x) is the antiderivative of f(x) = 10
If F(x) = x2, F’(x) = 2x. F(x) is the antiderivative of f(x) = 2x
![Page 4: Chapter 7: Integration JMerrill, 2009. 7.1 - Antiderivatives WWWWe have been solving situations dealing with total amounts of quantities DDDDerivatives](https://reader038.vdocuments.mx/reader038/viewer/2022110304/551c238d550346b24f8b5d18/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
7.1 - Antiderivatives
Find the antiderivative of f(x) = 5x4
Work backwards (from finding the derivative)
The antiderivative of f(x)=F’(x) is x5
![Page 5: Chapter 7: Integration JMerrill, 2009. 7.1 - Antiderivatives WWWWe have been solving situations dealing with total amounts of quantities DDDDerivatives](https://reader038.vdocuments.mx/reader038/viewer/2022110304/551c238d550346b24f8b5d18/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
7.1 - Antiderivatives In the example we just did, we know that
F(x) = x2 is not the only function whose derivative is f(x) = 2x
G(x) = x2 + 2 has 2x as the derivative H(x) = x2 – 7 has 2x as the derivative
For any real number, C, the function F(x)=x2 + C has f(x) as an antiderivative
![Page 6: Chapter 7: Integration JMerrill, 2009. 7.1 - Antiderivatives WWWWe have been solving situations dealing with total amounts of quantities DDDDerivatives](https://reader038.vdocuments.mx/reader038/viewer/2022110304/551c238d550346b24f8b5d18/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
7.1 - Antiderivatives
There is a whole family of functions having 2x as an antiderivative
This family differs only by a constant
![Page 7: Chapter 7: Integration JMerrill, 2009. 7.1 - Antiderivatives WWWWe have been solving situations dealing with total amounts of quantities DDDDerivatives](https://reader038.vdocuments.mx/reader038/viewer/2022110304/551c238d550346b24f8b5d18/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
7.1 - Antiderivatives
Since the functions G(x) = x2 F(x) = x2 + 2 H(x) = x2 – 7
differ only by a constant, the slope of the tangent line remains the same
The family of antiderivatives can be represented by F(x) + C
![Page 8: Chapter 7: Integration JMerrill, 2009. 7.1 - Antiderivatives WWWWe have been solving situations dealing with total amounts of quantities DDDDerivatives](https://reader038.vdocuments.mx/reader038/viewer/2022110304/551c238d550346b24f8b5d18/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
7.1 - Antiderivatives
The family of all antiderivaties of f is indicated by
f (x)dxIntegral sign Integrand
This is called the indefinite integral and is the most general antiderivative of f
![Page 9: Chapter 7: Integration JMerrill, 2009. 7.1 - Antiderivatives WWWWe have been solving situations dealing with total amounts of quantities DDDDerivatives](https://reader038.vdocuments.mx/reader038/viewer/2022110304/551c238d550346b24f8b5d18/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)

Example
Using this new notation, the dx means the integral of f(x) with respect to x
If we write a gets treated as a constant and x as the variable
If we write x gets treated as the constant

Finding the Antiderivative
Finding the antiderivative is the reverse of finding the derivative. Therefore, the rules for derivatives leads to a rule for antiderivatives

Recall
Previous learning: If f(x) = ex then f’(x) = ex
If f(x) = ax then f’(x) = (ln a)ax If f(x) = ekx then f’(x) = kekx
If f(x) = akx then f’(x) = k(ln a)akx
This leads to the following formulas:

7.2 - Substitution
In finding the antiderivative for some functions, many techniques fail
Substitution can sometimes remedy this problem
Substitution depends on the idea of a differential.
If u = f(x), then the differential of u, written du, is defined as du = f’(x)dx
Example: If u=2x3 + 1, then du=6x2 dx
![Page 28: Chapter 7: Integration JMerrill, 2009. 7.1 - Antiderivatives WWWWe have been solving situations dealing with total amounts of quantities DDDDerivatives](https://reader038.vdocuments.mx/reader038/viewer/2022110304/551c238d550346b24f8b5d18/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
Example
looks like the chain rule and product rule.

du
We haven’t needed the du in the past 2 problems, but that’s not always the case. The du happened to have already appeared in the previous examples.
Remember, du is the derivative of u.

Find
Let u = x3 + 1, then du = 3x2dx There’s an x2 in the problem but no
3x2, so we need to multiply by 3 Multiplying by 3 changes the

7.3-Area & The Definite Integral
We’ll start with Archimedes! Yea!
![Page 37: Chapter 7: Integration JMerrill, 2009. 7.1 - Antiderivatives WWWWe have been solving situations dealing with total amounts of quantities DDDDerivatives](https://reader038.vdocuments.mx/reader038/viewer/2022110304/551c238d550346b24f8b5d18/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
Archimedes Method of Exhaustion
To find the area of a regular geometric figure is easy. We simply plug the known parts into a formula that has already been established.
But, we will be finding the area of regions of graphs—not standard geometric figures.
Under certain conditions, the area of a region can be thought of as the sum of its parts.
![Page 38: Chapter 7: Integration JMerrill, 2009. 7.1 - Antiderivatives WWWWe have been solving situations dealing with total amounts of quantities DDDDerivatives](https://reader038.vdocuments.mx/reader038/viewer/2022110304/551c238d550346b24f8b5d18/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)
Archimedes Method of Exhaustion
A very rough approximation of this area can be found by using 2 inscribed rectangles.
Using the left endpoints, the height of the left rectangle is f(0)=2. The height of the right rectangle is f(1)=√3
A=1(2)+1(√3)=3.7321u2
2( ) 4f x x
Over estimate or under estimate?

Archimedes Method of Exhaustion
We can also estimate using the right endpoints. The height of the left rectangle is f(1)=√3. The other height is f(2)=0.
A=1(√3)+1(0)=1.7321u2
2( ) 4f x x
Over estimate or under estimate?

Archimedes Method of Exhaustion
We could average the 2 to get 2.7321 or use the midpoints of the rectangles:
A=1(f(.5))+1(f(1.5)) = √3.75+ √1.75 =3.2594u2
2( ) 4f x x
Better estimate?

Archimedes Method of Exhaustion
To improve the approximation, we can divide the interval from x=0 to x=2 into more rectangles of equal width.
The width is determined by
with n being the number of equal parts.

Area
We know that this is a quarter of a circle and we know the formula for area of a circle is A=πr2.
A=1/4 π(2)2
=3.1416units2
To develop a process that results in the exact area, begin by dividing the interval from a to b into n pieces of equal width.

Exact Area
The exact area is defined to be the sum of the limit (if the limit exists) as the number of rectangles increases without bound. The exact area =

The Definite Integral
If f is defined on the interval [a,b], the definite integral of f from a to b is given by
provided the limit exists, where delta x =
(b-a)/n and xi is any value of x in the ith interval.

The Definite Integeral
The definite integral can be thought of as a mathematical process that gives the sum of an infinite number of individual parts. It represents the area only if the function involved is nonnegative (f(x)≥0) for every x-value in the interval [a,b].
There are many other interpretations of the definite integral, but all involve the idea of approximation by sums.

Example
Approximate the area of the region under the graph of f(x) = 2x above the x-axis, and between x=0 and x=4. Use 4 rectangles of equal width whose heights are the values of the function at the midpoint of each subinterval .

Total Change in F(x)
The total change in a quantity can be found from the function that gives the rate of change of the quantity, using the same methods used to approximate the area under the curve:
