Riemann integral

Let f(x) be defined on [𝒶,𝒷]. We say 𝒥 is the definite (Riemann) integral of f(x) over [𝒶,𝒷] if

ε + , δ(ε) + : 𝒫, |𝒫|< δ(ε) , 𝒸i [χ i-1 ,χi] | 𝒥- κ=1 n f (𝒸i) Δχi | <ε
𝒶 𝒷 f(x) dx = lim n κ=1 n f (𝒸i) Δχ = lim n κ=1 n f (𝒸i) 𝒷-𝒶 n = lim n κ=1 n f( 𝒶+κ 𝒷-𝒶 n ) 𝒷-𝒶 n =

If f(x) is continuous on [𝒶,𝒷], or has at most finitely many jump discontinuities then f(x) is integrable over [𝒶,𝒷].

Area

If f(x) is non-negative and integrable over [𝒶,𝒷], then the area under the curve y= f(x) over the interval [𝒶,𝒷] is

𝒜= 𝒶 𝒷 f(x) dx
net signed area
𝒶 𝒷 f(x) dx
net area
𝒶 𝒷 | f(x) | dx

Examples

Properties of definite integral

Sum rules

1. 𝒶 𝒷 𝒸 dx = 𝒸 (𝒷-𝒶) 2. 𝒶 𝒷 ( α f(x) +β g(x) ) dx = α 𝒶 𝒷 f(x) + β 𝒶 𝒷 g(x)

Area rules

1. 𝒶 𝒶 f(x) dx = 0 2. 𝒶 𝒷 f(x) dx = - 𝒷 𝒶 f(x) dx 3. 𝒶 𝒸 f(x) dx = 𝒶 𝒷 f(x) dx + 𝒷 𝒸 f(x) dx

Comparison rules

If g(x) f(x) for every x in the interval [𝒶,𝒷] then

𝒶 𝒷 g(x) dx 𝒶 𝒷 f(x) dx

If 𝓁 f(x) 𝓊 for every x in the interval [𝒶,𝒷] then

𝓁 (𝒷-𝒶) 𝒶 𝒷 f(x) dx 𝓊 (𝒷-𝒶)

Mean

Let f(x) be integrable on [𝒶,𝒷]. The average value of the function on the interval is

fave= 1 𝒷-𝒶 𝒶 𝒷 f(x) dx
