Definition of Antiderivative
A function 𝐹 is called antiderivative of a function 𝑓 on a given open interval if for all 𝑥 in
the interval, 𝐹 ′ (𝑥 ) = 𝑓(𝑥).
Example:
1 1 1
𝐹 (𝑥 ) = 𝑥 3 ; 𝐺 (𝑥) = 𝑥 3 + 5 ; 𝐻 (𝑥 ) = 𝑥 3 + √5
3 3 3
𝐹 (𝑥 ), 𝐺 (𝑥 ), and 𝐻(𝑥) are all antiderivatives of 𝑓 (𝑥 ) = 𝑥 2, because the derivative of 𝐹 (𝑥 ), 𝐺 (𝑥), and
𝐻(𝑥) are all equal to 𝑓(𝑥).
Theorem 1.
If 𝐹 is an antiderivative of 𝑓 on a given open interval, then the most general antiderivative
(or indefinite integral) of 𝑓 on the given open interval is
𝐹 (𝑥 ) + 𝐶
where 𝐶 is an arbitrary constant.
The symbol
∫ 𝑓 (𝑥 ) 𝑑𝑥
is used to indicate indefinite integral of 𝑓(𝑥).

Integration by Substitution
To evaluate an integral ∫ 𝑓 (𝑥 )𝑑𝑥, it is often useful to replace 𝑥 with a new variable 𝑢 by
means of substitution 𝑥 = 𝑔(𝑢), 𝑑𝑥 = 𝑔 ′ (𝑢)𝑑𝑢. The equation becomes
∫ 𝑓(𝑥 )𝑑𝑥 = ∫ 𝑓(𝑔(𝑢))𝑔′ (𝑢)𝑑𝑢
Example:
1. Evaluate ∫(𝑥 + 3)11 𝑑𝑥.

Integration by Parts
When 𝑢 and 𝑣 are differentiable functions of 𝑥.
𝑑(𝑢𝑣) = 𝑢 𝑑𝑣 + 𝑣 𝑑𝑢
𝑢 𝑑𝑣 = 𝑑 (𝑢𝑣) − 𝑣 𝑑𝑢
and
∫ 𝑢 𝑑𝑣 = 𝑢𝑣 − ∫ 𝑣 𝑑𝑢
General rules:
1. The part selected as 𝑑𝑣 must be readily integrable.
Note: Note: It will be easier to choose 𝑢 whose category occurs earlier in LIATE
(Logarithmic, Inverse Trigonometric, Algebraic, Trigonometric, and Exponential) and take
𝑑𝑣 to be the rest of the integrand

Partial Fraction
Case 1: Distinct Linear Factors. To each linear factor 𝑎𝑥 + 𝑏 occurring once in the denominator of
𝐴
a proper rational fraction, there corresponds a single partial fraction of the form 𝑎𝑥+𝑏 where 𝐴 is a
constant to be determined.
𝑑𝑥
Example: ∫ 𝑥 2−4
The denominator can be factored into (𝑥 − 2)(𝑥 + 2) and be written as
1 𝐴 𝐵
2
= +
𝑥 −4 𝑥−2 𝑥+2
Multiplying the equation above by (𝑥 − 2)(𝑥 + 2), we have,
1 = 𝐴 (𝑥 + 2) + 𝐵 (𝑥 − 2)
⇒ 1 = (𝐴 + 𝐵)𝑥 + (2𝐴 − 2𝐵)
Equating the coefficients of 𝑥’s of left-hand side and right-hand side of the equation, we
have,
𝑥 1: 0=𝐴+𝐵
𝑥 0: 1 = 2𝐴 − 2𝐵
1 1
Solving the system of two equations,we can get 𝐴 = 4 and 𝐵 = 4. So we can write

where the 𝐴's are constants to be determined.

A solid of revolution is generated by revolving a plane area about a line, called the axis of
rotation, in the plane. The volume of a solid of revolution may be found with disc method, washer
method, and shell method.
Disc Method
This method is useful when the axis of rotation is part of the boundary of the plane area.
1. Make a sketch showing the area involved, a representative strip perpendicular to the axis
of rotation, and the approximating rectangle.
2. Write the volume of the disc (or cylinder) generated when the approximating rectangle is
revolved about the axis of rotation, and sum for the 𝑛 rectangles.
When the axis of rotation is the x axis and the top of the plane
area is given by the curve 𝑦 = 𝑓 (𝑥 ) between 𝑥 = 𝑎 and 𝑥 = 𝑏, then the
volume 𝑉 of the solid of revolution is given by
𝑏 𝑏
𝑉 = ∫ 𝜋𝑦 2 𝑑𝑥 = 𝜋 ∫ [𝑓 (𝑥 )]2 𝑑𝑥
𝑎 𝑎
Similarly, when the axis of rotation is the y axis and one side of
the plane area is given by the curve 𝑥 = 𝑔(𝑦) between 𝑦 = 𝑐 and 𝑦 = 𝑑,
then the volume V of the solid of revolution is given by
𝑑 𝑑
𝑉 = ∫ 𝜋𝑥 2 𝑑𝑦 = 𝜋 ∫ [𝑔(𝑦)]2 𝑑𝑦
𝑐 𝑐
Example: Find the volume generated by revolving the first-quadrant area
bounded by the parabola 𝑦 2 = 8𝑥 and its latus rectum (𝑥 = 2) about the
x-axis.
Solution:
We divide the plane area vertically, as can be
seen in the figure to the right. When the
approximating rectangle is revolved about the x-axis,
a disc whose radius is 𝑦 whose height is Δ𝑥 and whose
volume is 𝜋𝑦 2 Δ𝑥 is generated. We have the lower
boundary at 𝑥 = 0 (x-axis) and upper boundary at 𝑥 =
2 (latus rectum). The volume then is given by:
2 2
𝑉 = ∫ 𝜋𝑦 2 𝑑𝑥 = 𝜋 ∫ 8𝑥 𝑑𝑥
0 0
2
= 4𝜋𝑥 2 | = 16𝜋 cubic units

Washer Method
This method is useful when the axis of rotation is not a part of the boundary of the plane
area.
1. Same as step 1 of the disc method.
2. Extend the sides of the approximating rectangle to meet the axis of rotation. When the
approximating rectangle is revolved about the axis of rotation, a washer is formed whose
volume is the difference between the outer and inner volumes generated by revolving the
rectangles about the axis. Write the difference of the two volumes, and proceed as in step
2 of the disc method.
If the axis of rotation is the x axis, the upper boundary
of the plane area is given by 𝑦 = 𝑓(𝑥), the lower boundary by
𝑦 = 𝑔(𝑥), and the region runs from 𝑥 = 𝑎 to 𝑥 = 𝑏, then the
volume V of the solid of revolution is given by
𝑏
𝑉 = 𝜋 ∫ {[𝑓(𝑥 )]2 − [𝑔(𝑥 )]2 }𝑑𝑥
𝑎
Example: Find the volume generated by revolving the area cut off
from the parabola 𝑦 = 4𝑥 − 𝑥 2 by the x axis about the line 𝑦 = 6.
Solution:
We divide the area vertically. The solid
generated by revolving the approximating rectangle
about the line 𝑦 = 6 is a washer whose volume is
𝜋(62 − (6 − 𝑦)2 )Δ𝑥. The left and right boundaries can
be solved by looking at the intersection of the given
parabola and the x-axis. With this, we know that we
have left boundary at 𝑥 = 0 and right boundary at 𝑥 =
4. The required volume is then given by:
4 4
𝑉 = 𝜋 ∫ [(6)2 − (6 − 𝑦)2 ]𝑑𝑦 = 𝜋 ∫ (12𝑦 − 𝑦 2 )𝑑𝑥

Shell Method
1. Make a sketch showing the area involved, a representative strip parallel to the axis of
rotation, and the approximating rectangle.
2. Write the volume (mean circumference x height x thickness) of the cylindrical shell
generated when the approximating rectangle is revolved about the axis of rotation, and
sum for the rectangles.
If the axis of rotation is the y axis and the plane area, in the
first quadrant, is bounded below by the x axis, above by 𝑦 = 𝑓(𝑥),
to the left by 𝑥 = 𝑎, and to the right by 𝑥 = 𝑏, then the volume 𝑉 is
given by
𝑏 𝑏
𝑉 = 2𝜋 ∫ 𝑥𝑦 𝑑𝑥 = 2𝜋 ∫ 𝑥 𝑓 (𝑥)𝑑𝑥
𝑎 𝑎
Similarly, if the axis of rotation is the x axis and the plane area, in
the first quadrant, is bounded to the left by the y axis, to the right by 𝑥 =
𝑓(𝑦), below by 𝑦 = 𝑐 , and above by 𝑦 = 𝑑, then the volume V is given by
𝑑 𝑑
𝑉 = 2𝜋 ∫ 𝑥𝑦 𝑑𝑦 = 2𝜋 ∫ 𝑦𝑓 (𝑦)𝑑𝑦
𝑐 𝑐𝑑
Example: Find the volume of the torus generated by revolving the circle
𝑥 2 + 𝑦 2 = 4 about the line 𝑥 = 3.
Solution:
Using the sell method, we can see that the approximating rectangle has height of 2𝑦, and
thickness of Δ𝑥. It has a mean distance from the axis of revolution of 3 − 𝑥. Then the volume can
be written as 2𝜋(2𝑦)(3 − 𝑥 )Δ𝑥. Since we have a vertical axis of rotation, then we should use the
left and right boundary of the circle. We can see clearly that the left boundary of the circle is at
𝑥 = −2 and the right boundary is at 𝑥 = 2. The required volume is then given by:
2 2
𝑉 = 2𝜋 ∫ 2𝑦(3 − 𝑥 ) 𝑑𝑥 = 4𝜋 ∫ (3 − 𝑥 )√4 − 𝑥 2 𝑑𝑥

FLUID PRESSURE
Suppose that a flat surface is immersed vertically in a fluid of weight density 𝜌 and that
the submerged portion of the surface extends from 𝑥 = 𝑎 to 𝑥 = 𝑏 along an x-axis whose positive
direction is down. For 𝑎 ≤ 𝑥 ≤ 𝑏, suppose that 𝑤(𝑥) is the width of the surface and that ℎ(𝑥) is the
depth of the point 𝑥. Then we define the fluid force 𝐹 on the surface to be
𝑏
𝐹 = ∫ 𝜌ℎ(𝑥 )𝑤(𝑥 )𝑑𝑥
𝑎
Example:
1. The face of a dam is a vertical rectangle of height 100 ft and width 200 ft. Find the total
fluid force exerted on the face when the water surface is level with the top of the dam.
Solution:
We introduce Introduce an x-axis with its origin at the water
surface as shown in the figure in the right. At a point 𝑥, the width
of the dam is 𝑤 (𝑥) = 200 and depth ℎ(𝑥 ) = 𝑥. We can also see
that the surface extends from 0 ft up to 100 ft, thus, we have
𝑦 = 0 to 𝑦 = 100. Thus with weight density of the water 𝜌 =
62.4 𝑙𝑏/𝑓𝑡 3, we obtain the following force on the face.

𝐹 = ∫ 𝜌ℎ(𝑥 )𝑤(𝑥 ) 𝑑𝑥 = ∫ (62.4)(𝑥)(200) 𝑑𝑥

2. A plate in the form of an isosceles triangle with base 10 ft and
altitude 4 ft is submerged vertically in machine oil as shown at
the right. Find the fluid force 𝐹 against the plate surface if the
oil has weight density 𝜌 = 30 𝑙𝑏/𝑓𝑡3.
Solution:
We introduce an x-axis as shown below. We can see that
the plate is submerged entirely, so we have 𝑦 = 0 to 𝑦 = 4.
By similar triangles, the width of the plate, in feet, at a depth
of ℎ(𝑥) = (3 + 𝑥) ft satisfies

WORK
Suppose that an object moves in the positive direction along a coordinate line over the
interval [𝑎, 𝑏] while subjected to a variable force 𝐹(𝑥) that is applied in the direction of motion.
Then we define the work 𝑊 performed by the force on the object to be

Hooke’s Law
Under appropriate conditions, a spring that is stretched 𝑥 units beyond its natural length
pulls back with a force
𝐹(𝑥 ) = 𝑘𝑥
Where 𝑘 is constant (spring constant) with units of force per unit length.
Example: A spring has a spring constant of 5 𝑁/𝑚. How much work is required to stretch the
spring 1.8 m beyond its natural length?
Solution:
We want to find the work 𝑊 required to stretch the spring from 0m to 1.8m. We can
compute it as follows:
𝑏 1.8
5 1.8
𝑊 = ∫ 𝐹 (𝑥 )𝑑𝑥 = ∫ 5𝑥 𝑑𝑥 = 𝑥 2 |
𝑎 0 2
0
= 8.1 𝐽
