Applications of integration: area, volume, arc length

Areas between curves, solids of revolution, average value.

Every application is the same move: slice the quantity into thin pieces whose size you can write, then add them with an integral. Area between curves is ∫(top − bottom); a solid of revolution is ∫π r² dx (discs); arc length is ∫√(1 + f′²). Picture it: the shaded region under the curve is the integral being computed. Think it: this slicing is the Riemann sum, and measure theory is what makes it rigorous.

Integrate pi·x from 0 to 4

\int_{0}^{4} \pi x\, dx

Passo dopo passo

  1. \int_{0}^{4} \pi x\, dx

    First find an antiderivative F, then evaluate F(b) − F(a).

  2. \int \pi x\, dx = \pi \int x\, dx

    Pull the constant \pi out of the integral.

  3. \int x\, dx = \frac{x^{2}}{2}

    Power rule: ∫xⁿ dx = xⁿ⁺¹/(n+1) (n ≠ −1).

  4. F(4) - F(0) = \left(8 \pi\right) - \left(0\right)

    Fundamental theorem of calculus: plug in the limits.

  5. = 8 \pi \approx 25.133

    Simplify.

Domande che la gente chiede

What is a derivative in one sentence?

The slope of the graph at a point, the rate at which the output is changing there. Speed is the derivative of position.

What is an integral in one sentence?

The accumulated total of a rate: the area under the curve. Distance travelled is the integral of speed.

Why are derivatives and integrals opposites?

That is the fundamental theorem of calculus: accumulating a rate and then measuring how fast the accumulation grows gets you back the rate. Integration undoes differentiation up to a constant.

When do I use substitution and when integration by parts?

Substitution when part of the integrand is the derivative of another part (u and du both present). Parts when the integrand is a product of two unrelated kinds of function, a polynomial times an exponential, log or trig function.
