Chapter 4, , Integration, defined as a continuous summation process, is linked to dyferentiation by the fundamental theorem of calculus., , In everyday language, the word integration refers to putting things together,, while dgerentiation refers to separating, or distinguishing, things., The simplest kind of "differentiation" in mathematics is subtraction,, which tells us the difference between two numbers. We may think of differentiation in calculus as telling the difference between the values of a function at, nearby points in its domain., By analogy, the simplest kind of "integration" in mathematics is addition., Given two or more numbers, we can put them together to obtain their sum., Integration in calculus is an operation on functions, giving a "continuous, sum" of all the values of a function on an interval. This process can be, applied whenever a physical quantity is built up from another quantity which, is spread out over space or time. For example, in this chapter, we shall see that, the distance travelled by an object moving on a line is the integral of its, velocity with respect to time, generalizing the formula "distance = velocity x, time," which is valid when the velocity is constant. Other examples are that, the volume of a wire of variable cross-sectional area is obtained by integrating, this area over the length of the wire, and the total electrical energy consumed, in a house during a day is obtained by integrating the time-varying power, consumption over the day., , Summation, The symbol, , Cy=,ai is shorthand for, , a,, , + a, + . . + a,,., , To illustrate the basic ideas and properties of integration, we shall reexamine, the relationship between distance and velocity. In Section 1.1 we saw that, velocity is the time derivative of distance travelled, i.e.,, ~d - change in distance, velocity zz - At, change in time, , a, , Copyright 1985 Springer-Verlag.

202, , Chapter 4 The Integral, , In this chapter, it will be more useful to look at this relationship in the form, , ad w velocity x ~ t ., , (2), To be more specific, suppose that a bus is travelling on a straight highway, and that its position is described by a function y = F ( t ) , where y is the, position of the bus measured in meters from a designated starting position,, and r is the time measured in seconds. (See Fig. 4.1.1.) We wish to obtain the, , 5ocJ'o, , 700", , 40, , 40, , L, , Figure 4.1.1. What IS the, pos~t~on, of the bus ~nterms, of its velocity?, , I 111L t c r i, , 10, , 70, , 1, , I, , position y in terms of velocity 0. In Section 2.5 we did this by using the, formula v = d y / d t and the notion of an antiderivative. This time, we shall go, back to basic principles, starting with equation (2)., If the velocity is constant over an interval of length A t , then the, approximation ( z )in equation (2) becomes equality, i.e., A d = c a t . This, suggests another easily understood case: suppose that our time interval is, divided into two parts with durations A t , and At, and that the velocity during, these time intervals equals the constants c , and c,, respectively. (This situation, is slightly unrealistic, but it is a convenient idealization.) The d~stancetravelled during the first interval is c , A t , and that during the second is c , A t 2 ;, thus, the total distance travelled is, A d = c, At,, , + c,At2, , Continuing in the same way, we arrive at the following result:, , If a particle moves with a constant velocity r , for a time interval S t , ,, c, for a time interval At,, c, for a time interval At,, . . . and velocity, c,, for time interval At,,, then the total distance travelled is, , ., , A d = c,At, +c,At,+, , u,At,+, , ..., , + c,,At,,., , In (3), the symbol "+ . . . + " is interpreted as "continue summing until the, last term o,, At,, is reached.", The bus in Fig. 4.1.1 moves with the following velocities:, , Example I, , 4 meters per second for the first 2.5 seconds., 5 meters per second for the second 3 seconds,, 3.2 meters per second for the third 2 seconds, and, 1.4 meters per second for the fourth 1 second., How far does the bus travel?, Solution, , We use formula (3) with n, , =4, , and, , Copyright 1985 Springer-Verlag.

B,, , 1.4x 1, , Integration involves a summation process similar to (3). T o prepare for the, development of these ideas, we need to develop a systematic notation for, summation. This notation is not only useful in the discussion of the integral, but will appear again in Chapter 12 on infinite series., Given n numbers, a , through a,, we denote their sum a ,, , + a, + . . . + a,, , by, , Here 2 is the capital Greek letter sigma, the equivalent of the Roman S (for, sum).

Property 2 is a distributive Iaw; property 1 is a commutative law., Property 4 says that repeated addition of the same number is the same as, multiplication; property 5 is a generalization of the basic law of inequalities: if, a < b and c < d, then a c \< b + d., A useful formula gives the sum of the first n integers:, , +, , +, , +, , ,+, , +, , +, , + +, , +, , To prove this formula, let S = C:= ,i = 1 2 . . . n.

The region, under the graph off on, [a,61., , This suggests that the problem of finding distances in terms of velocities, should have something to do with areas, even when the velocity changes, smoothly rather than abruptly. Turning our attention to areas then, we go, back to the usual symbol x (rather than t ) for the independent variable., The area under the graph of a functionf on an interval [ a ,b] is defined to, be the area of the region in the plane enclosed by the graph y = f(x), the x, axis, and the vertical lines x = a and x = b. (See Fig. 4.2.2.) Here we assume, that f(x) > 0 for x in [a,b]. (In the next section, we shall deal with the, possibility that f might take negative values.), Let us examine certain similarities between properties of sums and areas., ,ai of sums, there corresponds the, To the property Cf=,ai = C:'=mai+ Cf=n+, additive property of areas: if a plane region is split into two parts which, overlap only along their edges, the area of the region is the sum of the areas of, the parts.

(See Fig. 4.2.4.), The connection between areas and sums becomes more explicit if we, consider step functions. A function g on the interval [a, b ] is called a step, function if [a, b ] can be broken into smaller intervals (called subintervals) with, g constant on each part. More precisely, there should be numbers x,,, x , , . . . , x,, with a = x 0 < x , < x 2 <, < x , - , < x , = b , such that g is, constant on each of the intervals ( x , , ~ , )( x, ,,x,), . . . , ( x , - , ,x,), as in Fig., 4.2.5. The values of g at the endpoints of these intervals will not affect any of, our calculations. The list (x,, x , , . . . , x,) is called apartition of [a, b ] ., , Draw a graph of the step function g defined on [2,4] by, , The graph of g on [2,2.5]is a horizontal line with height 1 on this interval. The, endpoints on the graph are drawn as solid dots to indicate that g takes the, value 1 at the endpoints x = 2 and x = 2.5. Continuing through the remaining, subintervals and using open dots to indicate endpoints which do not belong to, the graph, we obtain Fig. 4.2.6. A, , Figure 4.2.6.

The shaded, area is the sum of k,Ax,,, k, Ax2 and k, Ax,., , If a step function is non-negative, then the region under its graph can be, broken into rectangles, and the area of the region can be expressed as a sum., It is common to write Ax, for length xi - x i - , of the ith partition interval; if, the value of g on this interval is k , 2 0, then the area of the rectangle from, x i - , to xi with height k , is k i Ax,.

210, , Chapter 4 The Integral, , If each k, is positive (or zero), the area under the graph of g is, , In deriving our formula for the area under the graph of a step function, we, used the fact that the area of a rectangle is its length times width, and the, additive property of areas. By using the inclusion property, we can find the, areas under graphs of general functions by comparison with step functionsthis idea, which goes back to the ancient Greeks, is the key to defining the, integral., Given a non-negative functionf, we wish to compute the area A under its, graph on [ a ,b]. A lower sum for f on [ a ,b] is defined to be the area under the, graph of a non-negative step function g for which g(x) < f(x) on [ a ,b]. If, g(x) = k, on the ith subinterval, then the inclusion property of areas tells us, that C:=, k, Ax, < A . (Fig. 4.2.8)., , Figure 4.2.8. The shaded, area Cy=,k, Ax, is a lower, sum for f on [ a ,b]., , Figure 4.2.9.

The area, under the graph of h is a n, upper sum for f ; the area, under the graph of g is a, lower sum., , For h we have A x , = 4 , I, = 2, Ax, = f , 1, = 4, and Ax, = $, l3 = 5 . Since, the graph of h lies above that o f f , h(x) > f(x) for all x in the interval (0,2),, we get the upper sum, , Using partitions with sufficiently small subintervals, we hope to find step, functions below and above f such that the corresponding lower and upper, sums are as close together as we wish. Notice that the difference between, lower and upper sums is the area between the graphs of the step functions (Fig., 4.2.1 1). We expect this area to be very small if the subintervals are small, enough and the values of the step functions are close to the values off., , Figure 4.2.111. The dark, shaded area is the, difference between upper, and lower sums for f on, [a,b ] .The area under the, graph is between the upper, and lower sums., , Suppose that there are lower sums and upper sums which are arbitrarily, close to one another. Then there can only be one number A such that, L < A < U for every lower sum L and every upper sum U, and this number, must be the area under the graph., , To calculate the area under the graph of a non-negative function f, we, try to find upper and lower sums (areas under graphs of step functions, lying below and above f) which are closer and closer together. (See, Example 6 below for a specific instance of what is meant by "closer and, closer.") The area A is the number which is above all the lower sums and, , Copyright 1985 Springer-Verlag.

212, , Chapter 4 The Integral, , What we have done here for areas has a counterpart in our distance-velocity, problem. Suppose that v = f(t) defined for a < t < b gives the velocity of a, moving bus as a function of time, and that there is a partition ( t o ,t,, . . . , t,), of [a,b] and numbers k,, . . . , k, such that k, < f(t) for t in the ith interval, (ti-,,ti). Taking for granted that a faster moving object travels further in a, given time interval, we may conclude that the bus travels a distance at least, ki(ti - ti- ,) in the ith time interval. Thus the total distance travelled must be, at least k, At, + - . + k, At, = Cy=,ki Ati (where, as usual, we write Ati for, ti - t i - ,), so we have a lower estimate for the distance travelled between t = a, and t = b. Similarly, if we know that f(t) < li on (ti-,,ti) for some numbers, E l , . . . , I,, we get an upper estimate C?=,IiAti for the distance travelled. By, making the time intervals short enough we hope to be able to find ki and li, close together, so that we can estimate the distance travelled as accurately as, we wish., Example 4, , Solution, , The velocity of a moving bus (in meters per second) is observed over periods, of 10 seconds, and it is found that, 4<v<5, when 0 < t < 10,, when 10 < t < 20,, 5.5 < v < 6.5, when 20 < t < 30., 5 < v < 5.7, Estimate the distance travelled during the interval 0 < t < 30., , A lower estimate is 4 - 10 + 5.5 . 10 + 5 - 10 = 145, and an upper estimate is, 5 . 10 + 6.5 - 10 5.7 - 10 = 172, so the distance travelled is between 145 and, 172 meters. A, , +, , Example 5, , The velocity of a snail at time t seconds is (0.001)(t2+ I ) meters per second at, time t. Use the calculations in Example 3 to estimate how far the snail crawled, between t = 0 and t = 2., , Solution, , We may use the comparison functions g and h in Example 3 if we multiply, their values by 0.001 (and change x to t). The lower sum and upper sum are, also multiplied by 0.001, and so the distance crawled is between 0.002 and, 0.00733 . . . meters, i.e., between 2 and 74 millimeters. ~(r,, When we calculate derivatives, we seldom use the definition in terms of limits., Rather, we use the rules for derivatives, which are much more efficient., Likewise, we will not usually calculate areas in terms of upper and lower sums, but will use the fundamental theorem of calculus once we have learned it., Now, however, to reinforce the idea of upper and lower sums, we shall do one, area problem "the hard way.", , Example 6, , Solution, , Use upper and lower sums to find the area under the graph of f(x), [0, 11., , =, , x on, , The area is shaded in Fig. 4.2.12., We will look for upper and lower sums which are close together. The, simplest way to do this is to divide the interval 10, I] into equal parts with a, partition of the form (0,l/n,2/n, . . . , (n - l)/n, 1). A step function g(x), below f(x) is given by setting g(x) = (i - I)/n on the interval [(i - l)/n, i/n),, while the step function with h(x) = i/n on ((i - l)/n,i/nj is above f(x) (Fig., 4.2.13)., , Copyright 1985 Springer-Verlag.

4.2 Sums and Areas, , 2113, , The difference between the upper and lower sums is equal to the total, area of the chain of boxes in Fig. 4.2.14, on which both g(x) and h ( x ) are, graphed. Each of the n boxes has area (1 / n ) . ( 1 / n ) = 1/ n 2 , so their total area, is n . ( 1 / n 2 ) = 1/ n , which becomes arbitrarily small as n + CQ, so we know, that the area under our graph will be precisely determined. To find the area,, we compute the upper and lower sums. For the lower sum, g(x) = (i - l ) / n, = ki on the ith subinterval, and Ax, = I / n for all i, so, , Y, , n, , Figure 4.2.12.

4.3 The Definition of the Integral, , 215, , 4.3 The Definition, , of the integral, The integral of a function is a "signed" area., , In the previous section, we saw how areas under graphs could be approximated by the areas under graphs of step functions. Now we shall extend this, idea to functions that need not be positive and shall give the formal definition, of the integral., Recall that if g is a step function with constant value k, > 0 on the, interval ( x i _, , x i ) of width Ax, = xi - xi- then the area under the graph of g, is, , ,,, , n, , Area, , =, , 2 k, Ax, ., i= l, , Figm4.3.1. The product, is the negative of the, shaded area., , This formula is analogous to the formula for distance travelled when the, velocity is a step function; see formula (31, Section 4.1. In that situation, it is, reasonable to allow negative velocity (reverse motion). Likewise, in the area, formula we wish to allow negative k,. To do so, we shall have to interpret, "area" correctly. Suppose that g ( x ) is a negative constant k, on an interval of, width Ax,. Then k, Ax; is the negative of the area between the graph of g and, the x axis on that interval. (See Fig. 4.3.1.), To formalize this idea, we introduce the notion of signed area. If R is any, region in the xy plane, its signed area is defined to be the area of the part of R, lying above the x axis, minus the area of the part !ying below the axis., If f is a function defined on the interval [ a ,b], the region between the, graph off and the x axis consists of those points ( x , y) for which x is in [ a ,b], a n d y lies betwen 0 and f ( x ) . It is natural to consider the signed area of such a, region, as illustrated in Fig. 4.3.2. For a step function g with values k, on, intervals of length Ax,, the sum C:=,k, Ax, gives the signed area of the region, between the graph of g and the x axis., , Figure 4.3.2. The signed, area between the graph off, and the x axis on [ a ,b] is, regions, the area of the, minus the area of the regions., , +, , minus the area of the portion below the x axis., For the region between the x axis and the graph of a step function, g , this signed area is C:= k, Ax,., , ,, , Copyright 1985 Springer-Verlag.

There are three intervals, with A x , = f ,, Ax,= - I3 = 1-,, 12 and Ax 3 -- 1 - 14 = I, 4 ; k , = -2, k2 = 3, and k 3 = 1.

A, , r=l, , --C, , The counterpart of signed area for our distance-velocity problem is directed, distance, explained as follows: If the bus is moving to the right, then u > O, and distances are increasing. If the bus is moving to the left, then v < O and, the distances are decreasing. In the formula Ad = C ~ = , v , A t ,Ad, , is the, displacement, or the net distance the bus has moved, not the total distance, travelled, which would be C:= ,lull At. Just as with signed areas, movement to, the left is considered negative and is subtracted from movement to the right., (See Fig. 4.3.4.), , Figwe 4.3.3. The graph of, the step function in, Example 1., , rnovemerit, to left, , F i w e 4.3.4. Ad is the, displacement; i.e., net, distance travelled., , To find the signed area between the graph and the x axis for a function, which is not a step function, we can use upper and lower sums. Just as with, positive functions, if g is a step function lying below f, i.e., g ( x ) < f ( x ) for x, in [ a ,b], we call, , L=, , 2 k, Ax,, , a lower sum for f. Likewise, if h is a step function lying above f, with values, on intervals of width Ax, for j = 1, . . . , m , then, , I,, , is an upper sum for f. If we can find L's and U's arbitrarily close together,, lying on either side of a number A , then A must be the signed area between, the graph off and the x axis on [ a ,61.

The signed, area of the region R lies, between the upper and, lower sums., , We are now ready to define the integral of a function f., Definition, , Let f be a function defined on [ a ,b]. We say that f has an integral or that f is, integrable if upper and lower sums for f can be found which are arbitrarily, close together. The number I such that L < I < U for all lower sums L and, upper sums U is called the integral off and is denoted, , We call jthe integral sign, a, b , the endpoints or limits of integration, and f the, integrand., The precise meaning of "afbitrariiy close together'' is the same as in Example, 6, Section 4.2, namely, that there should exist sequences Ln and Un of lower, and upper sums such that limn,,(Un - Ln) = 0. (Limits of sequences will be, treated in detail in Chapter 11.), , Given a function f on [ a ,b], the integral off, if it exists, is the number, , which separates the upper and lower sums. This number is the signed, , The notation for the integral is derived from the notation for sums. The Greek, letter C has turned into an elongated S ; ki and $ have turned into function, values f ( x ) ; Axi has become d x ; and the limits of summation (e.g., i goes from, 1 to n ) have become limits of integration:, , Just as with antiderivatives, the "x" in "dx" indicates that x is the variable of, integration., , Copyright 1985 Springer-Verlag.

A, more than, , 4, , We have been calculating approximations to integrals without knowing, whether some of those integrals actually exist or not. Thus it may be, reassuring to know the following fact whose proof is given in more advanced, cour~es.~, Existence, , Iff is continuous on [ a ,b],then it has an integral., In particular, all differentiable functions have integrals, but so do step, functions and functions whose graphs have corners (such as y = 1x1); thus,, integrability is a more easily satisfied requirement than differentiability or, even continuity. The reader should note, however, that there do exist some, "pathological" functions that are not integrable. (See Exercise 36)., It is possible to calculate integrals of functions which are not necessarily, positive by the method used in Example 6 of the previous section, but this is a, tedious process. Rather than doing any such examples here, we shall wait until, we have developed the machinery of the fundamental theorem of calculus to, assist us., Let us now interpret the integral in terms of the distance-velocity, problem. We saw in our previous work that the upper and lower sums, represent the displacement of vehicles whose velocities are step functions and, which are faster or slower than the one we are studying. Thus, the displaceSee, for instance, Calculus Unlimited by J . Marsden and A.

The total distance travelled is thus, , We close this section with a discussion of a different approach to the integral,, called the method of Riemann sums. Later we shall usually rely on the step, function approach, but Riemann sums are also widely used, and so you, should have at least a brief exposure to them., The idea behind Riemann sums is to use step functions to approximate, the function to be integrated, rather than bounding it above and below. Given, a function f defined on [ a ,b] and a partition (x,,x,, . . . , x,) of that interval,, we choose points c,, . . . , c, such that ci lies in the interval [xi- ,,xi]. The step, function which takes the constant value f(ci) on (xi- ,,xi)is then an approximation to /; the signed area under its graph, namely,, , is called a Riemann sum.4 It lies above all the lower sums and below all the, upper sums constructed using the same partition, so it is a good approximation to the integral off on [a, b] (see Fig. 4.3.9). Notice that the Riemann sum, , Figure 4.3.9. The area of, the shaded region is a, Riemann sum for f on, [ a , bl., , is formed by "sampling" the values off at points c,, . . . , c,, "weighting" the, samples according to the lengths of the intervals from which the ci's are, chosen, and then adding., If we choose a sequence of partitions, one for each n, such that the, lengths Ax, approach zero as n becomes larger, then the Riemann sums, approach the integral JY(x)dx in the limit as n + co.From this and Fig. 4.3.9,, we again see the connection between integrals and areas., Just as the derivatives may be defined as a limit of difference quotiehts,, so the integral may be defined as a limit of Riemann sums; the integral as, defined this way is called the Riemann integral., After the German mathematician Bernhard Riemann (1826-1866)., , Copyright 1985 Springer-Verlag.

4.3 The Definition of the Integral, , 221, , Choose, for each n, a partition of [a,b] into n subintervals such that the, maximum of Ax, in the nth partition approaches zero as n + w . If c, is a, point chosen in the interval [ x ,- ,xi], then, , ,, , Example 6, Solution, , Write, , 6', , x 3 d x as a limit of sums., , As in Example 6, Section 4.2, divide [0,1] into n equal parts by the partition, (0,l/n, 2/n,. . . ,(n - l)/n, 1). Choose ci= i/n, the right endpoint of the, interval [(i - l)/n, i/n]. (We nay choose any point we wish; the left endpoint, or midpoint would have been just as good.)

A, , Supplement to Section 4.3, Solat Energy, Besides the distance-velocity and area problems, which we used to introduce, the integral, there are other physical problems that could be used in the same, way. Here, we consider the problem of computing solar energy and shall see, how it, too, leads naturally to the integral in terms of upper and lower sums., Consider a solar cell attached to an energy storage unit (such as a, battery) as in Fig. 4.3.10. When light shines on the solar cell, it is converted, into electrical energy which is stored in the battery (as electrical-chemical, energy) for later use., , Figure 4.3.10. The storage, unit accumulates the power, received by the solar cell., , Solar cell, , Ftirrgy .;torage unit, , We will be interested in the relation between the amount E of energy, stored and the intensity I of the sunlight. The number E can be read off a dial, on the energy storage device; I can be measured with a photographer's light, meter. (The units in which E and I are measured are unimportant for this, discussion.), Experiments show that when the solar cell is exposed to a steady source, of sunlight, the change AE in the amount of energy stored is proportional to, , Copyright 1985 Springer-Verlag.

222, , Chapter 4 The Integral, , the product of the intensity I and the length At of the period of exposure., Thus, , A E = K IAt,, where K is a constant depending on the apparatus and on the units used to, measure energy, time, and intensity. (We can imagine K being told to us as a, manufacturer's specification.), The intensity I can change-for example, the sun can move behind a, cloud. If during two periods, At, and At,, the intensity is, respectively, I , and, I,, then the total change in energy is the sum of the energies stored over each, individual period. That is,, AE = K I At,, ~, , + K I , A =~ ~K ( IAt,, ~ + 12At2)., , Likewise, if there are n periods, At,, . . . , At,, during which the intensity is, I , , . . . , I, (as in Fig. 4.3.1 1(a)), the energy stored will be the sum of n terms,, , Notice that this sum is exactly K times the integral of the step function g,, where g ( t ) = I, on the interval of length At,., In practice, as the sun moves gradually behind the clouds and its, elevation in the sky changes, the intensity I of sunlight does not change by, jumps but varies continuously with t (Fig. 4.3.1 1(b)). The change in stored, , Figure 4.3.11. The intensity, of sunlight varying with, time., , energy AE can still be measured on the energy storage meter, but it can no, longer be represented as a sum in the ordinary sense. In fact, the intensity now, takes on infinitely many values, but it does not stay at a given value for any, length of time., If I = f(t), the true change in stored energy is given by the integral, , which is K times the area under the graph I = f(t). If g(t) is a step function, with g(t) < f(t), then the integral of g is less than or equal to the integral of, f(t). This is in accordance with our intuition: the less the intensity, the less the, energy stored., The passage from step functions to general functions in the definition of, the integral and the interpretation of the integral can be carried out in many, contexts; this gives integral calculus a wide range of applications., , Copyright 1985 Springer-Verlag.

4.4 The Fundamental Theorem of Calculus, , 225, , 4.4 The Fundamental, Theorem of Calculus, The processes of integration and difSerentiation are inverses to one another., We now know two ways of expressing the solution of the distance-velocity, problem. Let us recall the problem and these two ways., Problem, , First Solution, , A bus moves on a straight line with given velocity v = f ( t ) for a, the displacement Ad of the bus during this time interval., , < t < b. Find, , The first solution uses antiderivatives and was presented in Section 2.5. Let, y = F ( t ) be the position of the bus at time t. Then since u = dy/dt, i.e.,, f = F ' , F is an antiderivative of f. The displacement is the final position, minus the initial position; i.e.,, Ad = F ( b ) - F ( a ) ,, ('1, the difference between the values of the antiderivative at f = a and t = b., , Second Solullon, , The second solution uses the integral as defined in the previous section. We, saw that, , Ad, , =, , I,"f ( I ) d t ., , We arrived at formulas (1) and (2) by rather different routes. I-Iowever,, the displacement must be the same in each case. Equating (1) and (2), we get, , This equality is called the fundamental theorem of calculus. It expresses the, integral in terms of an antiderivative and establishes the key link between, differentiation and integration., The argument by which we arrived at (3) was based on a physical model., Later, in this section, we shall also give a purely mathematical proof., With a slight change of notation, we restate (3) in the following box., , Suppose' that the function F is differentiable everywhere on [ a ,b ] and, that F' is integrable on [ a ,bj. Then, , In other words, i f f is integrable on [ a ,b ] and has an antiderivative F,, , We may use this theorem to find the integral which we previously computed, "by hand" (Example 6 , Section 4.2)., , Copyright 1985 Springer-Verlag.

(You could, also have found F ( x ) by guessing, and you can always check the answer by, differentiating f x2.) The fundamental theorem gives, , which agrees with our earlier result. A, Next, we use the fundamental theorem to obtain a new result., Example 2, Solution, , Using the fundamental theorem of calculus, compute i\2dx., Let f ( x ) = x 2 ; again by the power rule, we may take F ( x ) = + x 3 . By the, fundamental theorem, we have, ibx2dx=, , ib, , f(X)d~=, F ( b ) - F ( a ) = +b3- +a3., , We conclude that Jb,x2dx= l3 ( b 3 - a3). This gives the area under a segment, of the parabola y = x 2 (Fig. 4.4.1). A, We can summarize the integration method provided by the fundamental, theorem as follows:, Figure 4.4.1. The shaded, area is Jtx2dx = f ( b 3- a 31., , To integrate the function f ( x ) over the interval [ a ,b ] : find an antiderivative F ( x ) for f ( x ) , then evaluate F at a and b and subtract the results:, , Notice that the fundamental theorem does not specify which antiderivative to, use. However, if F , and F2 are two antiderivatives off on [a,b], they differ by, a constant (see Section 3.6); F,(t) = F2(t)+ C , and so, F,(b) - F , ( a ) = [ F 2 ( b )+ C] - [ F2(a)+ C] = F,(b) - F2(a)., (The C's cancel.) Thus all choices of F give the same result., Expressions of the form F(b) - F(a) occur so often that it is useful to, have a special notation for them., , Example 3, , Solution, , Find ( x 3+ 5)Ii., Here F ( x ) = x 3 + 5 and, ( x 3+ 5)Ii = F(3) - F(2), = (33, , + 5 ) - (23 + 5 ), , = 32 - 13 = 19.

4.4 The Fundamental Theorem of Calculus, , 227, , In terms of this new notation, we can write the formula of the fundamental, theorem of calculus in the form, , where F is an antiderivative off on [ a ,b ] ., Example 4, Solution, , Example 5, Solution, , Find f ( x 2, , + 1)dx., , By the sum and power rules for antiderivatives, and antiderivative for x 2, is f x3 X .

Since f is assumed integrable, it has upper and lower sums, arbitrarily close together, and the only number with this property is the, integral off (see page 217). Thus, we will have F ( b ) - F ( a ) = f ( x ) d x ., , Jt, , Proof of the For the lower sums, we must show that any step function g below f on ( a ,b ), Fundamental has integral at most F ( b ) - F(a). So let k , , k,, . . . , k, be the values of g on, Theorem the partition intervals ( x o , x , ) , ( x , , x 2 )., . . , ( x,-,, x,) (See Fig. 4.4.2). On, , Figure 4.4.2. The integral, of g is a lower sum for J on, , ( x i - , , x i ) , ki < f ( x ) = F f ( x ) , so the difference quotient for F satisfies the, inequality k, < [ F ( x i )- F ( x i _, ) ] / [ x i- x i _ ,I, by the first consequence of the, mean value theorem (Section 3.6). Thus, k, Ax, < F(x,) - F(x,- ,). Summing, from i = 1 to n, we get, , Copyright 1985 Springer-Verlag. All rights reserved.

228, , Chapter 4 The Integral, , The lekhand side is just the integral of g on [ a ,bj, while the right-hand side is, a telescoping sum which collapses to F(x,) - F(x,); so we have proven that, J i g ( x ) d x ,< F ( b ) - F(a)., An identical argument works for upper sums: Pf h is a step function, above f on ( a ,b), then F ( b ) - F ( a ) < J i h ( x ) d x (see Exercise 49). Thus the, proof of the fundamental theorem is complete. W, Here are two more examples illustrating the use of the fundamental, theorem. Notice that any letter can be used as the variable of integration, just, like the "dummy variable" in summation., Example 6, Solution, , Find, , L4(z2+, , 3t7/')dr., , By the sum, constant multiple, and power rules for antiderivatives, an antiderivative for t 2 + 3t7/2is ( t 3 / 3 ) 3 .

Evaluating,, , (b) For functions which are negative on part of an interval, we must recall,, from Section 4.3, that the integral represents the signed area between the graph, and the x axis.

Thus the total area is, , +, , Finally, in this section, we consider the use of the fundamental theorem to, solve displacement problems. The following box summarizes the method,, which was justified earlier in this section., , Displacements and Velocity, If a particle on the x axis has velocity 6 = f(t) and position x = F ( t ) ,, then the displacement F ( b ) - F ( a ) between the times t = a and t = b is, obtained by integrating the velocity from r = a to 1 = h :, Displacement from, time t = a to t = b, , Example 10, , Solution, , = lh(velocity)dt., , An object moving in a straight line has velocity t. = 5t4, far does the object travel between t = 1 and t = 2?, , + 3 t 2 at time t . How, , The displacement equals the total distance travelled in this case, since z; > 0., Thus, the displacement is, , Thus, the object travels 38 units of length between t, , = 1 and, , t = 2. A, , We have seen that the geometric interpretation of integrals of functions that, can sometimes be negative requires the notion of signed area. Likewise, when, velocities are negative, we have to be careful with signs. The integral is always, the displacement; to get the actual distance travelled, we must change the sign, of the integral over the periods when the velocity is negative.

240, , Chapter 4 The Integral, , 4.6 Applications of the, Integral, Areas between graphs can be calculated as integrals., We have seen that area under the graph of a function can be expressed as an, integral. After a word problem based on this fact, we will learn how to, calculate areas between graphs in the plane. Other applications of integration, concern recovering the total change in a quantity from its rate of change., Example 1, , A parabolic doorway with base 6 feet and height 8 feet is cut out of a wall., How many square feet of wall space are removed?, , Ssiutisn, , Place the coordinate system as shown in Fig. 4.6.1 and let the parabola have, equation y = ax2 + c. Sincey = 8 when x = 0, c = 8. Also, y = O when x = 3,, so O = a32 8, SO a = - 5 . Thus the parabola is y = - $ x 2 8. The area, under its graph is, , Y, , +, , +, , (, , dx= --x3+8x, 2"7, =(-$27+8-3, , -, , (7-: . 2 7 - 8 . 3, , so 32 square feet have been cut out. A, Now we turn to the problem of finding the area between the graphs of two, functions. Iff and g are two functions defined on [a,b], with f ( x ) < g ( x ) for, all x in [a,b],we define the region between the graphs off and g on [a,b ] to be, the set of those points ( x ,y ) such that a < x < b and f ( x ) < y < g ( x ) ., , Figure 4.6.1.Find the area, of the parabolic doorway., , Example 2, , Sketch and find the area of the region between the graphs of x 2 and x, [ - 1,lI., , Solution, =x, , + 3 on, , The region is shaded in Fig. 4.6.2. It is not quite of the form we have been, dealing with; however, we may note that if we add to it the region under the, graph of x 2 on [ - 1, I], we obt$in the region under the graph of x 3 on, [ - 1,1]. Denoting the area of the shaded region by A , we have, , +, , +, , J-1 1 x 2 d x + A =J-I 1 ( x + 3 ) d x, or, I, , 1, , A = S - ] ( x + 3 ) d ~ - J - ~ ~ x ~ d 1x( x=+~ 3- - x2)dx., Evaluating the integral yields A, , =, , (4x 2 + 3 x - f x 3 ) /1,= 5 f . A, , The method of Example 2 can be used to show that if 0 < f ( x ) < g ( x ) for x, in [a,b], then the area of the region between the graphs off and g on [ a ,b ] is, equal to J i g ( x )dx - J ~ ( X dx, ) = Jh, [ g ( x ) - f ( x ) ] dx., , Figure 4'62.

4.6 Applications of the Integral, , 24'1, , The same method works even if f ( x ) can take negative values. It is only the, difference between f ( x ) and g ( x ) which matters., , Area Between Graphs, If f ( x ) < g ( x ) for all x in [ a ,b], and f and g are integrable on [ a ,b], then, the area between the graphs off and g on [ a ,b] equals, , There is a heuristic argument for this formula for the area between graphs, which gives a useful way of remembering the formula and deriving similar, ones. We can think of the region between the graphs as being composed of, infinitely many "infinitesimally wide" rectangles, of width d x , one for each x, in [ a ,b]. (See Fig. 4.6.3.), , Figure 4.6.3. We may think, of the shaded region as, being composed of, infinitely many rectangles,, each of infinitesimal width., , The total area is then the "continuous sum" of the areas of these, rectangles. The height of the rectangle over x is h ( x ) = g ( x ) - f ( x ) , the area, of the rectangle is [ g ( x ) - f ( x ) ] d x , and the continuous sum of these areas is, the integral J : [ g ( x )- f ( x ) ] d x . This kind of infinitesimal argument was used, frequently in the early days of calculus, when it was considered to be perfectly, acceptable. Nowadays, we usually take the viewpoint of Archimedes, who, used infinitesimals to discover results which he later proved by more rigorous,, but much more tedious, arguments., Example 4, Solution, 1, , Sketch and find the area of the region between the graphs of x and x 2, [ - 2921., , + 1 on, , The region is shaded in Fig. 4.6.4.

Sketch and find the area of this bounded region., , Solution If we plot x as a function of y , we obtain the graphs and region shown in Fig., 4.6.8.

A, Find the area between the graphs x, , = y2 - 2, , and y = x., , This is a good illustration of the fact that sometimes it is wise to pause and, think about various methods at our disposal rather than simply plunging, ahead., First of all, we sketch the graphs, as in Fig. 4.6.9. We can plot x = y 2 - 2, either by writing y = +., and graphing these two square-root functions, or, preferably, by regarding x as a function of y and drawing the corresponding parabola., , Figure 4.6.9.

A, The velocity-displacement relationship holds for all rates of change. If a, quantity Q depends on x and has a rate of change r, then by the fundamental, theorem,, , If the rate of change of Q with respect to x for a < x < b is given by, Q is obtained by integrating:, , r = f(x), then the change in, , This relationshi:, can be used in a variety of ways, depending on the interpretation of Q, r, and x. For example, we can view the box on page 230 as a, special instance with Q the position, r the velocity, and x the time., Example 9, , Solution, , Water is flowing into a tub at 3t2 + 6t liters per minute at time t, between, t = 0 and t = 2. How many liters enter the tub during this period?, Let Q(t) denote the number of liters at time t. Then Qt(t) = 3t2, , + 6t, so, , ., Thus, 20 liters enter the tub during the 3-minute interval.

Chapter 9, , Many physical and geometric quantities can be expressed as integrals., Our applications of integration in Chapter 4 were limited to area, distancevelocity, and rate problems. In this chapter, we will see how to use integrals to, set up problems involving volumes, averages, centers of mass, work, energy,, and power. The techniques developed in Chapter 7 make it possible to solve, many of these problems completely., , 9.1 Volumes by the Slice, Method, The volume of a solid region is an integral of its cross-sectional areas., By thinking of a region in space as being composed of "infinitesimally thin, slices," we shall obtain a formula for volumes in terms of the areas of slices. In, this section, we apply the formula in a variety of special cases. Further, methods for calculating volumes will appear when we study multiple integration in Chapter 17., , Figure 9.1.1. The area of, the shaded region is, J t l ( x )dx., , We will develop the slice method for volumes by analogy with the, computation of areas by integration. Iff and g are functions with f(x) & g(x), on [a, b], then the area between the graphs off and g is [ g(x) - f(x)] dx (see, Section 4.6). We recall the infinitesimal argument for this formula. Think of, the region as being composed of infinitesimally thin strips obtained by cutting, with lines perpendicular to the x axis. Denote the vertical line through x by, Lx; the intersection of Lx with the region between the graphs has length, l(x) = g(x) -:f(x), and the corresponding "infinitesimal rectangle" with thickness dx has area I(x) dx (= height X width) (see Fig. 9.1.1). The area of the, entire region, obtained by "summing" the infinitesimal areas, is, , Given a region surrounded by a closed curve, we can often use, the same formula Jb,l(x)dx to find its area. To implement this, we position it conveniently with respect to the axes and .determine a and b, by noting where the ends of the region are. We determine I(x) by using the geometry of the situation at hand. This is done for a disk of radius r in, , Copyright 1985 Springer-Verlag. All rights reserved.

Area of the, disk = j ? , 2 J Z 7, , dx., , To find the volume of a solid region, we imagine it sliced by a family of, parallel planes: The plane P, is perpendicular to a fixed x axis in space at a, distance x from a reference point (Fig. 9.1.3)., The plane P, cuts the solid in a plane. region R,; the corresponding, "infinitesimal piece" of the solid is a slab whose base is a region R, and whose, thickness is dx (Fig. 9.1.4). The volume of such a cylinder is equal to the area, , Figure 9.1.3. The plane P,, is at distance x horn Po., , Figure 9.1.4. An infinitesimally thin slice of a solid., , of the base R , times the thickness dx. If we denote the area of R, by A(x),, then this volume is A (x) dx. Thus the volume of the entire solid, obtained by, summing, is the integral ~ b , ~ ( x ) dwhere, x,, the limits a and b are determined, by the ends of the solid., , The Slice Method, Let S be a solid and P, be a family of parallel planes such that:, 1.

9.1 Volumes by the Slice Method, , 421, , The slice method can also be justified using step functions. We shall see how, to do this below., In simple cases, the areas A (x) can be computed by elementary geometry., For more complicated problems, it may be necessary to do a preliminary, integration to find the A(x)'s themselves., Example 11, Solution, , Find the volume of a ball' of radius r., Draw the ball above the x axis as in Fig. 9.1.5., , region R, of area A ( x ), , Figure 9.1.5. The area of, the slice at x of a ball of, radius r is, A ( x ) = n-(r2 - x2)., , Y, , Let the plane Po pass through the center of the ball. The ball lies, The area of, between P-, and P,,and the slice R, is a disk of radius, the slice is s x (radiu~)~;, i.e., A(x) = ~(d-)~, = n(r2 - x2). Thus the, volume is, , .-d, , Example 2, , Find the volume of the conical solid in Fig. 9.1.6. (The base is a circle.), , Figure 9.1.6.

Find the, volume of the wedge W., , Solution, , With the setup in Fig. 9.1.8, we slice W by planes to produce triangles R, of, and its height, area A(x) as shown. The base b of the triangle is b =, is h = b tan0 = $-tan$., Thus, A (x) = $ bh = $(r2- x2)tan0. Hence,, the volume is, , d, m, ,, , Notice that even though we started with a region with a circular boundary, n, does not occur in the answer! A, Example 4, , A ball of radius r is cut into three pieces by parallel planes at a distance of r/3, on each side of the center. Find the volume of each piece., , Solution, , The middle piece lies between the planes P_,/, and P,/, of Example 1, and, the area function is A(x) = n(r2 - x2) as before, so the volume of the middle, piece is, , This leaves a volume of (4 - E)nr3 = nr3 to be divided between the two, outside pieces. Since they are congruent, each of them has volume nr3. (YOU, may check this by computing JiI3n(r2 - x2)dx.)

S is the solid, of revolution obtained by, revolving the plane region, R about the x axis., , studios (wheel-thrown pots), and in nature (unicellular organisms).' They are, called solids of revolution and are said to have axial symmetry., Suppose that region R is bounded by the lines x = a, x = b, and y = 0,, and by the graph of the functiony = f(x). To compute the volume of S by the, slice method, we use the family of planes perpendicular to the x axis, with Po, passing through the origin. The plane section of S by P, is a circular disk of, radius f(x) (see Fig. 9.1. lo), so its area A (x) is m [ f(x)12. By the basic formula, of the slice method, the volume of S is, , Figure 9.1.10.

Sketch the resulting solid and find its volume., , Solution, , The solid is sketched in Fig. 9.1.12. It has the form of a hollowed-out cone., , Figure 9.1.12. The region, between the graphs of sin x, and x is revolved about the, x axis., , The volume is that of the cone minus that of the hole. The cone is obtained by, revolving the region under the graph of x on [O, 11 about the axis, so its, volume is, , The hole is obtained by revolving the region under the graph of sinx on, [O, n/2] about the x axis, so its volume is, nc'2sin2x dx = ni'/2, , -, , 2x dx, , (since cos 2x, , =, , 1 - 2 sin2x), , Thus the volume of our solid is r4/24 - r 2 / 4 w 1.59. A, The volume of the solid obtained by rotating the region between the graphs of, two functionsf and g (with f(x) < g(x) on [a, b])can be done as in Example 6, or by the washer method which proceeds as follows. In Fig. 9.1.13, the volume, of the shaded region (the "washer") is the area x thickness. The area of the, washer is the area of the complete disk minus that of the hole. Thus, the, washer's volume is, , r.(, , mi2- n [ f ( x ) ~ 2dx., ), , Thus, the total volume is, , The reader should notice that this method gives the same answer as one finds, by using the method of Example 6., , Copyright 1985 Springer-Verlag.

9.1 Volumes by the Slice Method, , 425, , Figure 9.1.13. The washer, method., , 9.1.14. A "stepwise, cylindrical" solid., , Our formula for volumes by the slice method was introduced via infinitesimal~.A more rigorous argument for the formula is based on the use of upper, and lower sums.3To present this argument, we first look at the case where S is, composed of n cylinders, as in Fig. 9.1.14., If the ith cylinder Ci lies between the planes P , - , and Pxi and has, cross-sectional area. k,, then the function A (x) is a step function on the, interval [x,, x,]; in fact, A(x) = k, for x in (xi-, ,xi). TI, :volume of C, is the, product of its base area k, by its height Ax, = xi - xi-,, so the volume of the, total figure is C?, ,k,Ax,; but this is just the integral pOA(x)dx of the step, function A(x). We conclude that if S is a "stepwise cylindrical" solid between, the planes Pa and P, , then, volume s =, , l, , b, , A (x) dx., , If S is a reasonably "smooth" solid region, we expect that it can be squeezed, arbitrarily closely between stepwise cylindrical regions on the inside and, outside. Specifically, for every positive number E , there should be a stepwise, cylindrical region S, inside S and another such region Sooutside S such that, (volume So) - (volume S,) < E . If Ai(x) and A,(x) are the corresponding, functions, then A, and A, are step functions, and we have the inequality, A,(x) < A (x) < A,(x), so, volume S, =, , Lb~,, , (x) dx <, , (x) dx <, , Ib~,, , (x) dx = volume So., , Since S encloses Si and So encloses S, volume Si < volume S < volume So., Thus the numbers (volume S ) and, (x) dx both belong to the same interval, [(volume S,), (volume So)], which has length less than E . It follows that the, differencebetween (volume S ) and Jb,~(x)dxis less than any positive number, E ; the only way this can be so is if the two numbers are equal., , Supplement to Section 9.1:, Gavalieri's Delicatessen, The idea behind the slice method goes back, beyond the invention of calculus,, to Francesco Bonaventura Cavalieri (1598-1647), a student of Galileo and, then professor at the University of Bologna. An accurate report of the events, leading to Cavalieri's discovery is not available, so we have taken the liberty of, inventing one., Even this justification, as we present it, is not yet completely satisfactory. For example, do we, get the same answer if we slice the solid a different way? The answer is yes, but the proof uses, multiple integrals (see Chapter 17)., , Copyright 1985 Springer-Verlag.

One day, the, that the volume would be computed as 1 ~ radius2., casings were a bit weak, and the bologna came out with odd bulges. The scale, was not working that day, either, so the only way to compute the price of the, bologna was in terms of its volume., Cavalieri took his best knife and sliced the bologna into n very thin slices,, each of thickness Ax, and measured the radii r , ,r,, . . . , r,, of the slices, (fortunately, they were round). He then estimated the volume to be, C'i'=,~r?Ax~,, the sum of the volumes of the slices., Cavalieri was moonlighting from his regular job as a professor at the, University of Bologna. That afternoon, he went back to his desk and began, the book "Geometria indivisibilium continuorum nova quandum ratione, promota" ("Geometry shows the continuous indivisibility between new rations, and getting promoted"), in which he stated what is now known4 as Cavalieri's, principle :, , If two solids are sliced by a family of parallel planes in such a way that, corresponding sections have equal areas, then the two solids have the same, volume., The book was such a success that Cavalieri sold his delicatessen and, retired to a life of occasional teaching and eternal glory., Honest!, , Exercises for Section 9.1, In Exercises 1-4, use the slice method to find the, volume of the indicated solid., , a, , Figure 9.1.15.

9.3 Average Values and the Mean Value Theorem for Integrals, , 435, , We may rewrite the definition of the average value in the form, , and the right-hand side can be interpreted as the integral of a constant, function:, , Geometrically, the average value is the height of the rectangle with base, [a, b] which has the same area as the region under the graph off (see Fig., 9.3.1). Physically, if the graph off is a picture of the surface of wavy water in, a narrow channel, then the average value off is the height of the water when it, settles., An important property of average values is given in the following statement:, , f(.~)[O,b,, , Figure 9.3.1. The average, value is defined so that the, area of the rectangle equals, the area under the graph., The dots on the x &is, indicate places where the, average value is attained., , If m, , < f(x) < M for all x, , in [a, b], then m, , -, , < f ( ~ ) [ ~ ,<b ]M., , Indeed, the integrals J:m dx and J b , ~ d xare lower and upper sums for f on, [a, b], so, , <, , m(b - a), , Ib, , f(x)dx< M(b - a)., , Dividing by (b - a) gives the desired result., By the extreme value theorem (Section 3.5), f(x) attains a minimum value, m and a maximum value M on [a, b]. Then m < f(x) < M for x in [a, b], so, lies between m and M, by the preceding proposition. By the first, version of the intermediate value theorem (Section 3.1), applied to the interval, between the points where f(x) = m and f(x) = M, we conclude, - that there is a, x, in this interval (and thus in [a, b]), such that f(x,) = f ( ~ ) [ ~ , b ] ., In other words, we have proved that the average value of a continuous, function on an interval is always attained somewhere on the interval. This, result is known as the mean value theorem for integrals., , fola,bl, , Mean Value Theorem for Integrals, Let f be continuous on [a, b]. Then there is a point x, in (a, b) such that, , Notice that in Fig. 9.3.1, the mean value is attained at three different points., Example 5, , Give another proof of the mean value theorem for integrals by using the, fundamental theorem of calculus and the mean value theorem for derivatives., , Solution, , Let f be continuous on [a, b], and define F(x) = pJ(s)ds. By the fundamental, theorem of calculus (alternative version), Ff(x) = f(x) for x in (a, b). (Exercise, 29 asks you to verify that F is continuous at a and b-we accept it here.)
