INTEGRATION

Content

Integration: This is defined as anti-differentiation. Suppose, y = x3 + 2x, the first derivative is

 3x2 + 2. (dy/dx = 3x2 + 2)

then the antiderivative of  3x2 + 2 = x3 + 2x

 Thus, integration is the reverse process of differentiation and is denoted by the symbol ∫.

If  dy/dx = xn , then  ∫ dy/dx = xn+1   + C

n + 1           (n ≠ -1)

where c is the arbitrary constant.
