Definite Integral

Definition:

If f(x) is continuous in the interval [a,b] and g(x) is an antiderivative of f(x)(i.e   ),then



This is called as fundamental theorem of integral calculus and it establishes  a relation between definite integral and indefinite integral.
So to evaluate definite integral first evaluate indefinite integral then put the limits and find the difference.

Properties:

(i)      Independent of symbol of variable
(ii)  
(iii)         Where a < c < b 
(iv)  
(v)  
(vi)  
(vii)

(viii) 

(ix) 

(x)     f(x) is periodic with period T

Note:     


Definite integrals to the determination of areas involving simple curves
