Interpret a definite integral as a limit of Riemann sums.

Cognitive Complexity/Depth of Knowledge Rating:
Moderate

 

MA.912.C.4.4

Interpret a definite integral of the rate of change of a quantity over an interval as the change of the quantity over the interval. That is, integral a of b f'(x)dx = f(b) - f(a) (Fundamental Theorem of Calculus).

MA.912.C.4.5

Use the Fundamental Theorem of Calculus to evaluate definite and indefinite integrals and to represent particular antiderivatives. Perform analytical and graphical analysis of functions so defined.

MA.912.C.4.6

Use these properties of definite integrals:

  • [f(x) + g(x)]dx =  f(x)dx + g(x)dx
  • k • f(x)dx = k f(x)dx
  •  f(x)dx = 0
  •  f(x)dx = - f(x)dx
  •  f(x)dx + f(x)dx = f(x)dx
  • If f(x) ≤ g(x) on [a, b], then f(x)dx ≤ g(x)dx
