MATH 6 The Fundmentl Theorem of Clculus The Fundmentl Theorem of Clculus (FTC) gives method of finding the signed re etween the grph of f nd the x-xis on the intervl [, ]. The theorem is: FTC: If f is continuous function on [, ] nd F is ny ntiderivtive of f, then Are( f, [, ]) = F() F(). Recll tht the ntiderivtive of f is lso clled the indefinite integrl denoted y f (x). An ntiderivtive is nother function F such tht F (x) = f (x). Becuse the derivtive of constnt is, ny constnt C my e dded to F(x) to otin nother ntiderivtive. Thus we write f (x) = F(x) + C. Then since G(x) = F(x) + C is lso n ntiderivtive, the FTC sttes tht we cn lso use G(x) to find Are( f, [, ]) y computing G() G(). However, G() G() = ( F() + C) ( F() + C) = F() F(). Thus the dditionl constnt C is irrelevnt when computing Are( f, [, ]). Definite Integrl Nottion Becuse Are( f, [, ]) is computed y using n ntiderivtive f (x) = F(x), we use the sme integrl sign nottion to denote the signed re, ut we dd limits of integrtion nd to denote the intervl. Thus we shll strt writing f (x) to denote the signed re Are( f, [, ]). This expression is clled the definite integrl of f from to. We use the following nottion to write the evlution nd computtion of the definite integrl: f (x) = F(x) = F() F(). Exmple. Evlute the signed re etween the grph of f (x) = 4 x nd the x-xis on the intervl [, 4]. Explin the result pictorilly. 4 Solution. We evlute the definite integrl (4 x ) y finding n ntiderivtive F(x), nd then computing F(4) F() :
4 (4 x ) = 4x x 4 64 = 6 7 = 9 64 = 7 units. Thus, the net re is 7/ sq. units. There is more re elow the x-xis resulting in negtive net re. 4 Exmple. Evlute the signed re etween the grph of f (x) = 4 sin(x) nd the x- xis on the intervl [, ]. Explin the result pictorilly. Solution. We find n ntiderivtive F(x) of 4 sin(x) nd then evlute from to y computing F() F(): 4sin(x ) = 4 cos( x) = cos(x ) = cos() ( cos() ) = ( ) = Grphing f (x) = 4 sin(x) on [, ], we see tht there is n equl mount of re ove the x-xis s elow the x-xis. Thus, the net signed re is. An definite integrl cn e computed numericlly in two different wys on your clcultor. With either wy, first type the function into Y. We shll demonstrte with 4 (4 x ).

In generl, enter the commnd fnint(y, X,, ). Here use the commnd fnint(y, X,, 4) to otin.. On TI-89 : After typing the function 4 x into y, press Quit to return to the Home screen.

Evluting the Integrl After Grphing On TI-84: After grphing the function 4 x on the intervl [, 4], press CALC, then press 7. Type for Lower Limit nd press ENTER, then type 4 for Upper Limit nd press ENTER. On TI-89 or TI-9: After grphing the function 4 x on the intervl [, 4], press F5 then press 7. Type for Lower Limit nd press ENTER, then type 4 for Upper Limit nd press ENTER. Are Between Curves Let f ( x) nd g(x ) e continuous functions over [, ] with f ( x) g(x ). Then the re etween the grphs of f nd g is given y Are = ( g( x) f ( x) ). g(x ) f ( x) Are If it is not lwys the cse tht f ( x) g(x ), then the re etween the curves is Are = g(x ) f (x ). Exmple. () Find the re etween the grphs of y = 4 cos x nd y = 4sin x on the intervl [, /]. () Find the re etween these grphs on the intervl [, ]. Solution. () On [, /], we hve 4 sin x 4 cos x. Thus, the re etween the curves is / / Are = ( 4cos x ( 4 sin x) ) = ( 4 cos x + 4sin x) = ( 4sin x 4 cos x) / = ( 4sin( / ) 4 cos( / ) ) ( 4sin 4 cos ) 4 sin x 4 cos x = (4 ) ( 4) = 8 squre units. () On [, ], it is not lwys the cse tht one grph is greter thn the other. So we must find the point of intersection of the two grphs y solving 4 cos x = 4 sin x, which gives = tn x, nd x = / 4. From to /4, we hve 4 sin x 4 cos x. But from /4 to, we hve 4 cos x 4 sin x. So the totl re etween the curves is
/4 Are = 4cos x ( 4 sin x) + 4sin x 4cos x /4 /4 = 4cos x + 4sin x + 4 sin x 4 cos x /4 /4 = ( 4sin x 4cos x) + 4 cos x 4sin x /4 = ( 4sin( /4) 4cos( /4)) ( 4sin 4 cos) + ( 4cos 4sin) ( 4cos( /4) 4 sin( /4)) = 4 4( ) + 4( ) 4 4( ) 4 = 4 + 4 4 + 4 = 8 squre units. Exmple 4. Find the re etween the grphs of k (x ) = x + nd h(x ) = x on the intervl [, ]. Solution. From the grphs of the line k (x ) nd the prol h(x ), we see tht no one function is lwys greter thn the other over the entire intervl [, ]. So we must find the points of intersection of the two grphs y solving x + = x. Multiplying y gives x + = x, then = x + x = (x + )(x ). Thus, the grphs intersect t x = nd x =. From to nd from to, we hve x + x. But from to, we hve x x +. Thus the re etween the curves is given y
Are = k( x) h( x) = x x + + x + x + x x + = x + x + x + x + x + x = 6 x + 4 x x + 4 x + x 6 x + 6 x + 4 x x 8 = 6 + + 7 6 + 9 4 + + 4 + 6 + 8 6 7 + 6 + 9 4 6 + 4 = + 9 4 + = 7.5 squre units.
