Slide 3 / 175
SLIDE 2 Mathematicians spent a lot of time working with the topic of derivatives, describing how functions change at any given instant. They then sought a way to describe how those changes accumulate
- ver time, leading them to discover the calculation for area under a
- curve. This is known as integration, the second main branch of
calculus. Finally, Liebniz and Newton discovered the connection between differentiation and integration, known as the Fundamental Theorem
- f Calculus, an incredible contribution to the understanding of
mathematics.

Formulas for the area of polygons, such as squares, rectangles, triangles and trapezoids were well known in many early civilizations. However, the problem of finding area for regions with curved boundaries (circles, for example) caused difficulties for early
- mathematicians. The Greek mathematician Archimedes proposed to
calculate the area of a circle by finding the area of a polygon inscribed in the circle with the number of sides increased indefinitely.

Consider the following velocity graph: 30 mph v(t) (mph) t (hours) 5 hrs How far did the person drive?
Distance Using Graphs
[This object is a pull tab]
Answer You can see that this number can be obtained if we calculate the area under the velocity graph. So, the area of the rectangle in this case represents the total distance traveled.
Slide 7 (Answer) / 175
50 mph 5 hrs 30 mph v(t) (mph) t (hours) However, objects seldom travel at a constant speed. The area under this graph is still equal to the distance traveled but we need more than just simple multiplication to find it.
Non-Constant Speed Slide 8 / 175
SLIDE 4 Georg Friedrich Bernhard Riemann was an influential German mathematician who made lasting contributions to function analysis and found an approach for approximating the total area underneath a curve by dividing the total area into a series of rectangles. So, the area under the curve would be the sum of areas of the
- rectangles. Later, we will discuss how close this approximation is, and if
there is any possibility to calculate the exact area underneath the curved boundary.
Georg Friedrich Riemann Slide 9 / 175
Note: When we use the language "area under the curve" we are referring to the area between the function and the x-axis.

the area would be infinite.

SLIDE 5 Rectangular Approximation Method is a way to estimate area by drawing rectangles from the x-axis up to the curve. The question is: What part of the "top" of the rectangle should lie on the curve? Also, how many rectangles should be used? The middle (MRAM) The right hand corner (RRAM) The left hand corner (LRAM)

Teacher Notes Students may bring up various ideas about using different shapes. Guide conversation to the idea that using more and more rectangles will produce a more accurate approximation.
Slide 50 (Answer) / 175
If n is the number of rectangles used, and we allow that number to approach infinity, the width of each rectangle, or , will become infinitely small, which we denote . While the Greek symbol Sigma is a capital S for "sum", the German mathematician, Liebniz, chose to use the elongated "S" symbol for integrals in 1675, and it is still the symbol we use today.

area under the velocity function gives us the distance traveled. It was this notion that allowed mathematicians to discover the relationship between a function and it's derivative, and furthermore, a function's antiderivative.

This slide is meant to help them with antiderivatives, but needs to be mathematically accurate as well. Since we are not delving into indefinite integrals quite yet, you may need to briefly discuss with students why there are no bounds for integration and why the +C constant value is written with the antiderivative. They will be introduced to this with indefinite integrals and will even revisit definite integrals again to see why it wasn't needed.

SLIDE 57 50 mph 5 hrs 30 mph v(t) (mph) t (hours) Recall the graph below which we used at the beginning of the unit regarding a non-constant speed. This section will allow us to calculate the average value (in this case, the average velocity) on a given

integrals to calculate this value.
Average Value Slide 105 / 175 Average Value
The Average Value of f(x) is the height of the rectangle with base (b-a) and whose area equals the area under the graph of f(x) between x=a and x=b. Imagine all of the area under the given curve is transformed into a

same base length as the interval. The height is the average value the functions takes on within that

Teacher Notes
This is an important idea to emphasize to students. Review the last example to make the point clear. It is a common misconception to just calculate f(0) and f(4) and average them, which in this case would equal
- 1. When applying the formula correctly
we found the average value to be 1.333.

SLIDE 63 Much like the MVT for Derivatives told us at which value, c, the slope was equal to the average slope; the Mean Value Theorem for Integrals will tell us at which value, c, the function reaches it's average value.

Mean Value Theorem for Integrals
Let's just say we already calculated the average value for our function, and found it to be 30mph. The Mean Value Theorem for Integrals states that at at least one point, c, the function must take on it's average value. What does that mean for our example above?

Indefinite Integrals
Slide 124 / 175
SLIDE 68
Indefinite Integrals
So far, we have been calculating definite integrals, meaning our integral had bounds on both sides. Next, we will consider what happens when our integrals do not contain upper or lower limits, also known as indefinite integrals.

Slide 127 / 175 Indefinite Integrals = Antiderivatives
When we are given integrals without upper and lower limits, the question is really asking us to give the antiderivative. The only catch is that we MUST include the +C constant with each
- antiderivative. This represents that technically any constant could
be added to the original function. In the next unit, we will see that sometimes additional information (like an initial condition) is provided in order to find out exactly what the original function was. If not, it is imperative to include the +C.

Slide 131 (Answer) / 175 How Important is the Constant?
It might seem like a trivial piece, but when evaluating indefinite integrals, it is extremely critical to include the +C value. In fact, when questions arise on the free response portion of the AP Exam, 1 point is

U-Substitution
Slide 143 / 175 U-Substitution
Recall when we were asked to find the derivative of a composite
- function. We had to utilize the Chain Rule to take the derivative
correctly. U-Substitution is a similar tool used to find the antiderivative of more complex functions, and essentially the "undo" of the Chain Rule.
Slide 144 / 175 U-Substitution
Let's start with an example. Evaluate: Notice, upon first glance this looks like a fairly complex integral. But, if we let We can then find the differential: This allows us to rewrite the integral in terms of u, to make the integration easier. Notice how much less intimidating this integral is!
Slide 145 / 175
SLIDE 79 U-Substitution
Now, let's finish evaluating the integral. DON'T FORGET! Substitute your expression back in for u.
Slide 146 / 175 Steps for U-Substitution
- 1. Choose your value for u.
- 2. Find the differential (take derivative & solve for du).
- 3. Make the substitution into original problem.
- 4. Integrate as usual.
- 5. Substitute back in for u.
Slide 147 / 175 Deciding Values for U
In our previous example, the value for u was given; however, this won't always be the case. So, how do we decide or choose the correct value for u? The best advice is to look for an expression in the integral for which you also see that expression's derivative.
Slide 148 / 175
SLIDE 80
Good choices for u usually include: · An expression raised to a power · An expression in a denominator · An expression as an "inside" function of a composition
More Tips for Choosing Your "U"
Avoid choosing a value for u which is too complex, at the same time make sure it's not too simple (i.e. don't let u=x)

SLIDE 90 Slide 164 (Answer) / 175 U-Substitution with Definite Integrals
Definite integrals may sometimes require u-substitution as well, but it is important to take extra caution when dealing with the limits of integration. Let's look at an example and then address the issue with the limits. Note: When we are given the original problem, all expressions and values are in terms of the variable x, including the bounds of integration.
Slide 165 / 175 U-Substitution with Definite Integrals
From this point, you have 2 options:
- 1. Integrate, substitute the
expression with x back in and use original bounds.
- 2. Change bounds in terms
- f u, integrate and use the
new bounds to evaluate.
