Indefinite integral key feature

Includes arbitrary constant cc

Definite integral represents

Signed area under curve

Signed area above vs below xx-axis

Above: positive; Below: negative

Fundamental Theorem formula

abf(x)dx=G(b)G(a)\int_a^b f(x)dx = G(b) - G(a)

Meaning of [G(x)]ab[G(x)]_a^b

Evaluate at bb minus evaluate at aa

Why omit cc in definite integrals

Cancels out when subtracting

Reversing integral limits effect

Changes sign to negative

Value of aaf(x)dx\int_a^a f(x)dx

00

Split integral at point cc

ab=ac+cb\int_a^b = \int_a^c + \int_c^b

Factor constant kk from integral

abkf(x)dx=kabf(x)dx\int_a^b kf(x)dx = k\int_a^b f(x)dx
