Steps to take Derivative 1) Make a polynomial (no fractions) 2) Multiply the power by the front number 3) Subtract one from the power 4) Simplify the answer
Reversing the process gives the anti-derivative (the Integral) 1) Make a polynomial (no fractions) 2) Add one to the power 3) Divide by the new power 4) Simplify the answer
Symbols used: Derivative from chain rule Antiderivative After years of finding mathematics easy, I finally reached integral calculus and came up against a barrier. I realized that this was as far as I could go, and to this day I have never successfully gone beyond it in any but the most superficial way." -- Isaac Asimov
Example 1 Add 1 to the power Divide by the power Simplify
Check the Answer What about adding a constant? This is Correct! This is also Correct! There are an infinite number of Antiderivatives for a given function, each is the same except for a constant.
All Steps to Integrate 1) Make a polynomial (no fractions) 2) Add one to the power 3) Divide by the new power 4) Simplify the answer 5) Add a constant to the end + C
Example 2 Make a polynomial Add 1 to power Divide by Power Simplify and add C
Example 3 Use the rules for each function Simplify and add C
Initial Value Problems – finding C You can find C if you are given a point on the curve or some value for the function. 1) Integrate the function 2) Put in the point or value you are given 3) Solve for C
Example 4 Integrate Put in the point and solve for C Write equation without C
A ball is thrown upward from the top of a 336 ft. building with an initial velocity of 320 ft/sec. Find the equation for the position at any time t. Example 5 Integrate Constant Integrate Constant This is the equation for position.
At what time does the ball reach the maximum height? How long does it take to hit the ground? Example 6 At max height Velocity = 0 At the ground position = 0
Differential Equations(Equations that contain a derivative) There are entire courses devoted to solving differential equations: Ordinary Differential Equations (ODE’s) Partial Differential Equations (PDE’s)
Example 7. Solve the differential equation Integrate Put in (0,6) and find C Integrate Put in (0,3) and find C
