Chapter 5 The Definite Integral
5.1 Estimating with Finite Sums
What you’ll learn about • Distance Traveled • Rectangular Approximation Method (RAM) • Volume of a Sphere • Cardiac Output … and why Learning about estimating with finite sums sets the foundation for understanding integral calculus.
LRAM, MRAM, and RRAM approximations to the area under the graph of y=x2 from x=0 to x=3
Example Estimating Area Under the Graph of a Nonnegative Function
5.2 Definite Integrals
What you’ll learn about • Riemann Sums • The Definite Integral • Computing Definite Integrals on a Calculator • Integrability … and why The definite integral is the basis of integral calculus, just as the derivative is the basis of differential calculus.
5.3 Definite Integrals and Antiderivatives
What you’ll learn about • Properties of Definite Integrals • Average Value of a Function • Mean Value Theorem for Definite Integrals • Connecting Differential and Integral Calculus … and why Working with the properties of definite integrals helps us to understand better the definite integral. Connecting derivatives and definite integrals sets the stage for the Fundamental Theorem of Calculus.
5.4 Fundamental Theorem of Calculus
What you’ll learn about • Fundamental Theorem, Part 1 • Graphing the Function • Fundamental Theorem, Part 2 • Area Connection • Analyzing Antiderivatives Graphically … and why The Fundamental Theorem of Calculus is a Triumph of Mathematical Discovery and the key to solving many problems.
