Key ideas in Unit 6

  • A definite integral is the limit of Riemann sums and gives net accumulated change. Know left, right, midpoint and trapezoidal approximations.
  • The Fundamental Theorem of Calculus: ∫ from a to b of f(x) dx = F(b) − F(a), and d/dx ∫ from a to g(x) of f(t) dt = f(g(x))·g′(x).
  • u-substitution reverses the chain rule; remember to change the limits or substitute back.
  • BC adds integration by parts (∫ u dv = uv − ∫ v du), partial fractions with linear factors, and improper integrals evaluated as limits.
