INTEGRATION [INDEFINITE INTEGRALDEFINITE INTEGRAL AND AREA UNDER CURVE]

The process of reversing differentiation is called Integration. If dy/dx = 3x2, then y could be x3, as the derivative of x3is 3x2.

We say that xis an integral of 3x2 with respect to x. The symbol for integration sign is given by ∫  . The expression to be integrated is put between the  ∫ sign and dx.

∫  3×2 dx could be x3

Since differentiating any constant gives zero, the following also have derivation 3x2.

X3 + 2,  x3 + 4.5,  x3 – 17etc

In general, any function of the form x3 + c, where c is the constant has derivative of 3x2

Hence, ∫  3x2 dx = x3 + C. C is called constant of integration. Because we do not know the actual or definite value of C, this is called INDEFINITE INTEGRAL.
