Integration Techniques - Intro

In mathematics, integration is one of the two main operations in calculus, with its inverse, differentiation, being the other. Given a function of a real variable, an antiderivative, integral, or integrand is the function's derivative, with respect to the variable of interest. The integrals of a function are the components of its antiderivative. The definite integral of a function from a to b is the area of the region in the xy-plane that lies between the graph of the function and the x-axis, above the x-axis, or below the x-axis. The indefinite integral of a function is an antiderivative of the function, and can be used to find the original function when given the derivative. The definite integral of a function is a single-valued function on a given interval. It can be computed by evaluating the definite integral of a function at every x in the domain of the function, then adding the results together.

Video Transcript

Explain why each of the following integrals is improper. So before we do this problem, let's record the definition of improper integrals for function, f, x, integral of f x, a to b is improper. If interval a to b is infinite or f x has an infinite discontinuity from a to b. Now, let's do the problem for b and c the interval is infinite, so they are improper integrals for a while x goes to 1. The function x over x, minus 1 goes to infinite infinity because the denominator goes to 0, so this function has an infinite. This continuity of 1 to 2 point, so it is improper integral and for the 1 x, goes to 0 for 10 x goes to infinity, so the function of co tangent x has an infinite discontinuity among 02 pi over 4. So it is improper, integral.
