Integrals

We will cover following topics

Definite Integrals

Riemanns’ Definition of Definite Integrals

The definite integral of a continuous function f over the interval [a,b] is the limit of a Riemann sum as the number of subdivisions approach infinity. Mathematically,

baf(x)dx=limnni=1Δxf(xi)

where Δx=ban, and xi=a+Δxi

Indefinite Integrals

An integral of the form f(z)dz, without lower and upper limits, is called an indefinite integral.

It is also called an antiderivative.

Infinite Integrals

These occur when the limits of integration or the integrand become infinite.

Improper Integrals

If the interval over which the definite integral baf(x)dx is defined is infinite or if the function f(x) has a discontinuity in [a,b] or both of these conditions are satisfied, the integral is called an improper integral.

Observations:

  1. The improper integral 11xpdx converges when p>1 and diverges when p1$.

  2. The improper integral 101xpdx converges when p<1 and diverges when p1.

Direct Comparison Test for Improper Integrals: Let f and g be continuous on [a,) where 0f(x)g(x) for all x in [a,).

  1. If ag(x)dx converges, then af(x)dx converges.
  2. If af(x)dx diverges, then ag(x)dx diverges.

Limit Comparison Test for Improper Integrals: Let f and g be continuous functions on [a,) where f(x)>0 and g(x)>0 for all x. If

limxf(x)g(x)=L, 0<L<

then af(x)dx and ag(x)dx either both converge or both diverge.

Double Integrals

Consider a function of two variables f(x,y). The definite integral denoted by Rf(x,y)dA, where R is the region of integration in xyplane, is called as a double inetegral.

For positive f(x,y), this definite integral gives the volume under the surface f(x,y) and above xyplane, for x and y in the region R.

Triple Integrals

The integration of a function f(x,y,z) over a three-dimensional region R in xyzspace is called a triple integral and is denoted as:

Rf(x,y,z)dV
