Definite Integral

The definite integral calculates the value of a function f(x) between limits a and b, called the lower and upper limits of integration. The definite integral has a definite value that can be interpreted geometrically as the area under the curve of the function between those limits. The document outlines several properties of definite integrals, including that changing the order of the limits changes the sign of the integral, an integral is zero if the limits are identical, an integral can be expressed as a sum of subintegrals, and there are additional properties defined but not explained.

Definite Integral

Definite Integral

Value of f(x) from a to b called definite


integral. We refer to a as the lower limit of
integration and to b as the upper limit of
integration.

A Definite Integral as an Area under


a Curve

Every definite integral has a definite value. That value may be


intepreted geometrically to be a particular area under a given
curve.
