\; \; ❓$
- Analysis of the Result
- This result suggests a negative area, which raises concerns
because the function $𝒇(𝒙)=\dfrac{1}{𝒙^{2}}$ is always positive on its domain.
According to:
- 𝒫𝓇𝑜𝓅𝑒𝓇𝓉𝓎 4.4.6: If the function is positive, the integral is positive
(and vice versa).
- If $𝒇(𝒙)\ge 0$ for all $𝒙\in[𝓪,𝓫]$ then $\displaystyle \int_{𝓪}^{𝓫}
𝒇(𝒙)\,𝒅𝒙 \ge 0$
- If $𝒇(𝒙)$ is above the 𝒙-axis, the integral is positive
- If $𝒇(𝒙)\le 0$ for all $𝒙\in[𝓪,𝓫]$ then $\displaystyle \int_{𝓪}^{𝓫}
𝒇(𝒙)\,𝒅𝒙 \le 0$
- If $𝒇(𝒙)$ is below the 𝒙-axis, the integral is negative
- So how can the integral be negative, if the function is positive? The issue lies
in the discontinuity at $𝒙=0$.
- Discontinuity and Asymptote
- The function $𝒇(𝒙)=\dfrac{1}{𝒙^{2}}$ is undefined at
$𝒙=0$, and has a vertical asymptote there.
- Therefore, the interval $[-1,1]$ includes a point of discontinuity.
- This means the integral is not proper and must be treated as an
improper integral, using limits.
- The function is unbounded and discontinuous at $𝒙=0$, leading to an
asymptote.
- [33:00]. Graphical interpretation showing how the asymptote affects
the area.
- Observation: If, because of the asymptote, some of
those rectangles blow up to infinity, then the area can’t be computed.
- Domain issue: When an asymptote lies within or at the limit of
integration, the integral
may diverge or require special treatment (e.g., improper integrals).
- Observation: If the integrand has a vertical
asymptote
that makes some Riemann rectangles unbounded, the corresponding
improper integral diverges; therefore, the area is not defined.
- 🗒️ NOTE: 🛡️ Pre-check: Domain & Continuity of the Integrand
- Before applying any property (like 𝒫𝓇𝑜𝓅𝑒𝓇𝓉𝓎 4.4.6), you must
verify that the integrand $𝒇(𝒙)$ is continuous on the interval $[𝓪,𝓫]$.
- If $𝒇(𝒙)$ is not defined or not continuous at any point in
$[𝓪,𝓫]$, the integral becomes improper.
- For improper integrals, standard properties of definite integrals do
not necessarily apply.
- In particular, you cannot directly say that a positive function
implies a positive integral unless the function is continuous throughout the
interval.
- Think about it:
- Checklist before integrating:
▢ 1. 📌 Is $𝒇(𝒙)$ defined at every point in $[𝓪,𝓫]$?
▢ 2. 📌 Is $𝒇(𝒙)$ continuous on $[𝓪,𝓫]$?
- If yes, proceed with Fundamental Theorem & integral
properties.
- If no, analyze the integral as improper
(i.e., split it or use limits).
- [37:23]. 🧩 Example – 7: Integrals with piecewise-defined functions
– [📷image]
- $ \displaystyle \int_{0}^{6} 𝒇(𝒙)\,𝒅𝒙,\;\; 𝒇(𝒙)=\begin{cases}𝒙^{3}, &
𝒙<2\\[2pt]5𝒙-1, & 𝒙\ge 2\end{cases}$
- Splitting the integral over intervals where the function is defined
- Continuity is required to split the integral properly
- Computing each integral separately:
- $ \displaystyle \int_{0}^{2}
𝒙^{3}\,𝒅𝒙=\left.\dfrac{𝒙^{4}}{4}\right|_{0}^{2}\to \dfrac{2^{4}}{4}-0=\dfrac{16}{4}=4$
- $ \displaystyle \int_{2}^{6} (5𝒙-1)\,𝒅𝒙=\int 5𝒙\,𝒅𝒙+\int
(-1)\,𝒅𝒙=\dfrac{5𝒙^{2}}{2}-𝒙 \;\Rightarrow\;
\left.\left(\dfrac{5𝒙^{2}}{2}-𝒙\right)\right|_{2}^{6}=[90-6]-[10-2]=84-8=76$
- Total area: $4+76=80$
- What happens at $𝒙=2$?
- At $𝒙=2$, the function is discontinuous (it jumps from one
branch to another).
- Therefore, it is not differentiable at that point.
- Result: There is no single, continuous
antiderivative on the entire interval $[0,6]$.
- Can we apply the FTC directly to $\displaystyle \int_{0}^{6}
𝒇(𝒙)\,𝒅𝒙$?
- No.
- The Fundamental Theorem of Calculus – Part II (the evaluation
part) requires that:
- 1. $𝒇(𝒙)$ is continuous over $[𝓪,𝓫]$
- 2. There exists a function $𝓕$ such that $𝓕′(𝒙)=𝒇(𝒙)$
- In this case, these conditions are not met because:
- $𝒇(𝒙)$ is not continuous at $𝒙=2$
- There is no single function $𝓕$ that differentiates to
$𝒇$ over $[0,6]$
- What should we do instead?
- Split the interval into parts where the function is continuous:
- $ \displaystyle \int_{0}^{6} 𝒇(𝒙)\,𝒅𝒙=\int_{0}^{2}
𝒙^{3}\,𝒅𝒙+\int_{2}^{6}(5𝒙-1)\,𝒅𝒙$
- On each subinterval:
- $𝒇(𝒙)$ is continuous
- We can apply FTC Part II
- We compute the area using the appropriate antiderivative for each part
- Think about it:
- Core Idea: If the Fundamental Theorem of Calculus
cannot be applied directly because of a discontinuity inside the
interval,
split the integral into continuous sections and apply the theorem to each one
individually.
- [38:40]. ❌ if $5𝒙-1,\; 𝒙>2$, the function $𝒇(𝒙)$ is not
defined at $𝒙=2$ in the given statement.
- This is a problem because in order to split the definite integral at $𝒙=2$,
the function must be defined at that point.
- Since $𝒇(𝒙)$ omits the value at $𝒙=2$, the expression $\displaystyle
\int_{0}^{6} 𝒇(𝒙)\,𝒅𝒙$ is not properly defined as a standard definite integral.
- To fix this, the piecewise function must include a definition for $𝒙=2$,
either from the left or the right.
Total area
-
[46:50]. Introduction to
the concept of total area Vs. signed net area –
[📷image]
- Explaining the difference between total area and signed net area
- ᴛᴏᴛᴀʟ ᴀʀᴇᴀ: This is calculated by integrating the absolute value of the function over
an interval, ensuring all
areas contribute positively regardless of whether they are above or below the 𝒙-axis.
■ $\displaystyle \int_{𝓪}^{𝓫}\lvert 𝒇(𝒙)\rvert\,𝒅𝒙$ and $\lvert
𝒇(𝒙)\rvert=\begin{cases}𝒇(𝒙), & 𝒇(𝒙)\ge 0\\[2pt]-𝒇(𝒙), & 𝒇(𝒙)<0\end{cases}$
- ꜱɪɢɴᴇᴅ ɴᴇᴛ ᴀʀᴇᴀ: This result comes from a standard integral without absolute values,
where areas above the 𝒙-axis are positive and
those below are negative, potentially leading to cancellation if regions offset each other.
■ $\displaystyle \int_{𝓪}^{𝓫} 𝒇(𝒙)\,𝒅𝒙$
- [54:25]. 🧩
Example – Example of total area calculation using sign analysis: $1-𝒙^{2}$ on $[0,2]$
– [📷image-1]
– [📷image-2]
- Step 1: Find zeros of $𝒇(𝒙)=0$
- Solve $1-𝒙^{2}=0 \;\Rightarrow\; 𝒙=\pm 1$
- Step 2: Create a sign analysis using these roots (those which are within the integration
interval) and the interval limits
- Step 3: Determine where $𝒇(𝒙)$ is positive or negative
- Positive: $[0,1]$
- Negative: $[1,2]$
- Step 4: Split the integral according to the sign of $𝒇(𝒙)$
- Use absolute value:
- $ \lvert 𝒇(𝒙)\rvert=\begin{cases}𝒇(𝒙) & \text{if } 𝒇(𝒙)\ge
0\\[2pt]-𝒇(𝒙) & \text{if } 𝒇(𝒙)<0\end{cases}$
- So:
- $A=\displaystyle \int_{0}^{1} (1-𝒙^{2})\,𝒅𝒙+\int_{1}^{2}
-(1-𝒙^{2})\,𝒅𝒙=\int_{0}^{1} (1-𝒙^{2})\,𝒅𝒙-\int_{1}^{2} (1-𝒙^{2})\,𝒅𝒙$
- Step 5: Integrate and evaluate each interval
- First integral:
- $ \displaystyle \int_{0}^{1}
(1-𝒙^{2})\,𝒅𝒙=\left.[𝒙-\dfrac{𝒙^{3}}{3}]\right|_{0}^{1}=(1-\tfrac{1}{3})-(0-0)=\dfrac{2}{3}$
- Second integral:
- $ \displaystyle \int_{1}^{2}
(1-𝒙^{2})\,𝒅𝒙=\left.[𝒙-\dfrac{𝒙^{3}}{3}]\right|_{1}^{2}=\left(2-\dfrac{8}{3}\right)-\left(1-\dfrac{1}{3}\right)=\left(-\dfrac{2}{3}\right)-\left(\dfrac{2}{3}\right)=-\dfrac{4}{3}$
- with the minus sign from before: $-(-\dfrac{4}{3})=+\dfrac{4}{3}$
- Final calculation of total area
- $A=\dfrac{2}{3}+\dfrac{4}{3}=2$

- Derivatives and integrals as inverse operations
- Defining the area function 𝓐(𝒙) as the integral of 𝒇(𝓉) from a to 𝒙
- Statement of FTC 𝒫𝒜𝑅𝒯 Ⅰ :
$\displaystyle\left\{\begin{aligned}&\underline{\text{If }}\; 𝒚 = 𝒇(𝒙) \text{ is continuous over }
[𝓪,𝒙], \\[8pt]&\underline{\text{Then }}\; \text{the area is } 𝒜(𝒙) \text{ such that } 𝒜'(𝒙)=𝒇(𝒙),
\\[12pt]&𝒜(𝒙)=\int_{𝓪}^{𝒙} 𝒇(𝓉)\,𝒅𝓉\end{aligned}\right.$
- Teaching notes:
- If you define the area function from 𝒫𝒜𝑅𝒯 Ⅰ as $𝒜(𝒙)=\displaystyle
\int_{𝓪}^{𝒙} 𝒇(t)\,𝒅t$, then $𝒜′(𝒙)=𝒇(𝒙)$,
and thus $\displaystyle \int_{𝓪}^{𝓫} 𝒇(𝒙)\,𝒅𝒙=𝒜(𝓫)-𝒜(𝓪)$.
- The indefinite integral is a family: $\displaystyle \int 𝒇(𝒙)\,𝒅𝒙=𝓕(𝒙)+𝓒$.
- 𝒫𝒜𝑅𝒯 Ⅱ tells you how to use any $𝓕$ to evaluate the definite integral on
$[𝓪,𝓫]$.
- Typical Calc I hypothesis: $𝒇$ continuous on $[𝓪,𝓫]$ (ensures existence and
evaluability).
- [1:13:00]. Another interpretation of $𝒜(𝒙)$
- $\dfrac{𝒅}{𝒅𝑥}[𝒜(𝒙)]=𝒇(𝒙)\;\Rightarrow\; \dfrac{𝒅}{𝒅𝑥}\!\left[\displaystyle
\int_{𝓪}^{𝒙} 𝒇(𝓉)\,𝒅𝓉 \right]=𝒇(𝒙)$

- Find an antiderivative of $𝓉^{4}$
- $\displaystyle \int 𝓉^{4}\,𝒅𝓉=\dfrac{𝓉^{5}}{5}$
- Evaluate the definite integral with limits $[1,𝒙]$:
- $\dfrac{𝒅}{𝒅𝑥}\!\left[\dfrac{𝒙^{5}}{5}-\dfrac{1^{5}}{5}\right] =
\dfrac{𝒅}{𝒅𝑥}\!\left[\dfrac{𝒙^{5}}{5}-\dfrac{1}{5}\right]$
- Differentiate the result:
- $\dfrac{𝒅}{𝒅𝑥}\!\left[\dfrac{𝒙^{5}}{5}-\dfrac{1}{5}\right]=𝒙^{4}$
- Conclusion:
- This confirms the Fundamental Theorem of Calculus (Part I):
- If $𝒜(𝒙)=\displaystyle \int_{𝓪}^{𝒙} 𝒇(𝓉)\,𝒅𝓉$, then $𝒜′(𝒙)=𝒇(𝒙)$ — as
long as $𝒇$ is continuous.

From 𝒫𝓇𝑜𝓅𝑒𝓇𝓉𝓎 4.4.5 of definite integrals:
-
∫[−𝓪, 𝓪] 𝒇(𝒙)·𝒅𝑥 = ∫[−𝓪, 0] 𝒇(𝒙)·𝒅𝑥 + ∫[0, 𝓪] 𝒇(𝒙)·𝒅𝑥
- Since 𝒇(−𝒙) = −𝒇(𝒙), the negative side is the exact opposite of the
positive side.
- Thus, the two contributions cancel each other out.
- Conclusion: ∫[−𝓪, 𝓪] 𝒇(𝒙)·𝒅𝑥 = 0
