Use the Fundamental Theorem of Calculus to find the exact values of the given definite integrals. Use a graph to check your answer.
Use integration formulas to solve each integral in Exercises 21–62. You may have to use algebra, educated guess and-check, and/or recognize an integrand as the result of a product, quotient, or chain rule calculation. Check each of your answers by differentiating.
Determine which of the limit of sums in Exercises 47–52 are infinite and which are finite. For each limit of sums that is finite, compute its value
Without calculating any sums or definite integrals, determine the values of the described quantities. (Hint: Sketch graphs first.)
(a) The signed area between the graph of f(x) = cos x and the x-axis on [−π, π].
(b) The average value of f(x) = cos x on [0, 2Ï€].
(c) The area of the region between the graphs of f(x) =
Suppose f is positive on (−∞, −1] and [2,∞) and negative on the interval [−1, 2]. Write (a) the signed area and (b) the absolute area between the graph of f and the x-axis on [−3, 4] in terms of definite integrals that do not involve absolute values.
