INTEGRATION


Integration Key Formula ;


Definition

Integration written F(x), is the reversed process of differentiation f '(x) (also derivatives).

Constant of Integration

Let's consider three functions, defined as follow:
  1. f(x) = x5,          its derivative is: f '(x) = 5x4

  2. f(x) = x5 + 2,    its derivative is: f '(x) = 5x4

  3. f(x) = x5 − 12,  its derivative is: f '(x) = 5x4
As you can notice, the derivatives of the three functions are the same and the constants hanging behing the two last functions have disappeared or equal to Zero (0)!!!

    ஃ    we can conclude that, the derivative of any constant number equals to 0

   ⇒   f(x) = C (also K) and f '(x) = 0

i.e.
    i)    f(x) = 7 and f '(x) = 0

    ii)    f(x) = −10 and f '(x) = 0

    iii)    f(x) = −
1
2
and f '(x) = 0
    iv)    f(x) =
11
3
and f '(x) = 0

As we've seen above, the three functions have the same derivative. Now if we go integrating the three of them, we actually need to precise they all have a constant to be sure to find the original functions.
The general formula is:

f '(x) dx = f(x) + C


So for our three functions we'll have:
  1. 5x4 dx = x5 + C, with C in this case equals to 0 and the function f(x) = x5

  2. 5x4 dx = x5 + C, with C in this case equals to 2 and the function f(x) = x5 + 2

  3. 5x4 dx = x5 + C, with C in this case equals to −12 and the function f(x) = x5 − 12
How to find the constant of integration?


Integrating a sum or a difference of functions

It's about integrating by term or separetly.

i.e.
   1. Find
x² − x
x
dx
  
x² − x
x
dx = (
x1/2
x
x1/2
) dx = x3/2 dx − x1/2 dx
                     =
2
5
x5/2
2
3
x3/2 + C
   2. Find the integral of 1 + x7 +
1
− √x
   ( 1 + x7 +
1
− √x ) dx = ( 1 + x7 + x−2 −x1/2 )
                                           = 1 dx + x7 dx + x− 2 dx + x1/2 dx
                                           = x +

3
x3/2 + C









Integrating terms to the power of n: (ax + b)n

i.e.
  1. Integrate f(x) = (2x + 3)4
    1. to integrate this function, we'll proceed by substitution
    2. Let u = 2x + 3   ⇒   u4 = (2x + 3)4,

      then, we derivate u prior to x:
      du = 2 dx
      1
      2
      du = dx
      then after, we derivate u4:
      1
      2
      u4 du =
      1
      2
      ·
      1
      5
      u5
      now we replace u by its substituted value: u = 2x + 3:
      1
      2·5
      (2x + 3)5
      So,
          ∫ (2x + 3)4 dx =
      1
      2·5
      (2x + 3)5

Finding the constant of integration

Assume we have a function f(x) = x3 + C, its derivative is f '(x) = dy/dx = 3x2.

To find C, we need to know a point on the curve of the function.
Let's say P(1, 3) that point on the curve with an equation dy/dx = 3x2 + 4

              
dy
dx
= 3x2 + 4
        ⇒     y = (3x2 + 4) dx
        ∴     y = x3 + 4x + C
        ∴     as (1, 3) is on the curve, we can input x=1 and y=3 in x3 + 4x + C,
               to find C:   3 = 1 + 4 + C     ⇒         C = − 2
        ∴     y = x3 + 4x − 2

Comparative Summary

Exercises, Convergence and Divergence of Sequences

Arithmetic Sequences Geometric Sequences

A. Sequence

represents an ordered list of numbers with a common difference d.

Ex.: 1, 5, 9, 13, 17, 21, 25, ... ,


G. Sequence

represents an ordered list of numbers with a common ratio r.

Ex.: 1, 4, 16, 64, 256, 1024, ... ,


A. Series and G. Series

are the values obtain by adding up all the terms of a sequence. there also called the "sum".

Ex.: 1 + 5 + 9 + 13 + 17 + 21 + 25 + ... + (ASs or APs)

Ex.: 1 + 4 + 16 + 64 + 256 + 1024 + ... + (GSs or GPs)


Common difference

is always the same value from one term to the next by adding (or subtracting) both terms.
d = an+1 − an


Ex: d = 9 − 5 = 4 (ASs above)

Common ratio

is always the same value from one term to the next by dividing (or multiplying) both terms.
r =
an+1

the nth number

                an = a1 + (n − 1)·d
the nth number

                an = a1 · rn − 1

Sum of the nth 1st numbers

                Sn =
n(a1 + an)

Sum of the nth 1st numbers

     Sn =
a1(rn − 1)
r − 1
=
a(1 − rn)
1 − r
with a1 = a, and the special circumstance that the r is between –1 and 1, | r | < 1.
the infinite sum has the following value:
S =
a
1 − r
, with | r | < 1



Sum of a Finite Geometric Series

Let's find the sum of the first 7 terms of sequence S, with a1 = 1, r = 2 and n = 7.
We would then plug those numbers into the formula and get:
S7 =
1(1 − 27)
1 − 2
=
(1 − 128)
− 1
=
− 127
− 1
= 127


Sum of an infinite Geometric Series

An infinite number of terms a sequence S in given by: 16 + (-8) + 4 + (-2) + 1 + ...,
with a1 = 16 and r = −1/2. r lies within the acceptable limits (− 1 and 1), therefore a finite sum exists when using the infinite term sum formula:

Convergence and Divergence of Sequences

Examples
  1. Showing convergence or divergence of the the following sequence:
  2. 1, 2, 3, 4, ...

    Ans. This sequence starts with and goes on bigger and bigger to the infinity (∞), therefore the sequence Diverges.

  3. Does the following sequence converges or diverges?
  4. 1, 0.1, 0.01, 0.001, 0.0001, ...

    Ans. The sequence gets smaller and smaller and closer to 0, therefore it converges.

  5. Assuming we have the nth number of a sequence define by:
  6. an =
    3(−1)n
    n!
    Ans. To show weither the sequence converges or diverges we have 2 possibilities:

    1. we can first find the 3 or 4 first terms of the sequence
    2. - a1 =
      3(−1)1
      1!
      = −3
      - a2 =
      3(−1)2
      2!
      =
      3
      2·1
      =
      3
      2
      - a3 =
      3(−1)3
      3!
      =
      −3
      3·2·1
      =
      −1
      2
      - a4 =
      1
      8
      ...
      As you can see, the terms are getting smaller and smaller and tending to 0, hence the sequence converges, (not obvious though!!!)

      That's why we will use limits to make it clear...

    3. lim
      n→∞
         [
      3(−1)n
      n!
      ] =
         (indeterminate form!)
      we use L'Hôpital's rule (by derivating several times until we get the form allowing the determination of the limits)

      the second differentiation gives us:
      lim
      n→∞
         [
      3n(−1)n−1
      1!
      ] =
      ∞·0
      1!
      = 0
      Now, we can clearly see that the sequence converges, as it equals to 0

  7. an = n(n −1) converges or diverges?
  8. lim   n(n − 1) = ∞·∞ = ∞ the sequence diverges!
    n→∞

Answers to i
  1. Notice: To solve these problems, we can use Pascal's Triangle, but that needs a lot of time! An alternative way is to use the Binomial Theorem, which offers a quicker method for expanding any complex binomial series. Only and only when the power n is a positive integer. see (a + b)n

    (a) (1 + 3x)12
         = 12c0·112·(3x)0 + 12c1·111·(3x)1 + 12c2·110·(3x)2 + 12c3·19·(3x)3 + ... + (3x)12      = 1 + 36x + 594x² + 5940x3 + ... + 531441x12

    Answer to ii

  2. the first nth terms are given by an = Sn − Sn−1
    an = n(3n − 4) − (n − 1) [3(n − 1) − 4]
    = 3n² − 4n − (n − 1) (3n − 7)
    = 3n² − 4n − 3n² + 10n − 7)
    an = 6n − 7, therefore, we can find out:
          a1 = 6·1 − 7 = − 1 +6
          a2 = 6·2 − 7 = 5 +6
          a3 = 6·3 − 7 = 11 +6
          a4 = 6·4 − 7 = 17 +6
          ...      ...      ...
          ...      ...      ...
          an = 6·n − 7

          and the sequence is: − 1, 5, 11, 17, 23,...,

    As you can see, the common difference d = 6.

    By replacing a1 and an in the AP's general formula, we should obtain
    Sn = n(3n − 4), which is the proof that Sn is an AP progression.

    By replacing a1 and an in the AP's general formula, we should obtain
    Sn = n(3n − 4), which is the proof that Sn is an AP progression.

    Sn =
    n(a1 + an)
    2
    =
    n(−1 + 6n − 7)
    2
    =
    2n(3n − 4)
    2
    Sn = n(3n − 4), the progression is an AP.


    Answer to ii

  3. * The nth term is given by: an = Sn − Sn−1
    an = n² − 3n − [(n−1)² − 3(n−1)]
    = n² − 3n − (n² − 5n + 4)
    = − 3n − + 5n − 4
    an = 2n − 4

    * The 4th term a4 = 4

  1. Find the first three terms in the expansion of (1 + b)5.

CONNECTED RATES OF CHANGE

Example , Exercises , Answers

DEFINITION OF 'RATE OF CHANGE'

Rate of change is the speed at which a variable changes over a specific period of time.

It's often used when speaking about momentum, and it can generally be expressed as a ratio between a change in one variable relative to a corresponding change in another.

Graphically, the rate of change is represented by the slope of a line.

To solve problems regarding the rate of change, we use the chain rule.

EXAMPLE
If a given function y = f(x) has a rate of change with respect to r; we can also find the rate of change of x with respect to r.

Answer iV.
Given:

· The volume V of water in the tank by: V = w·L·H
· The rate of change of the volume by:
dV
dt
Searched:
· The rate of change of the height H of water:
dH
dt
V and H are functions of time. So let's differentiate:
dV
dt
= W·L·
dH
