Integration

What is the relationship between integration and differentiation?

A

Integration is reverse differentiation (finding the antiderivative).

B

To integrate roots or fractions, rewrite them as powers:

  • x=\sqrt{x} =x​= x12\boxed{x^{\frac{1}{2}}}x21​​
  • 1xn=\frac{1}{x^n} =xn1​= x−nx^{-n}x−n

C
  • Indefinite: A function (family of curves).
  • Definite: A number (often representing area).
D

To integrate roots or fractions, rewrite them as powers:

  • x=\sqrt{x} =x​= x12x^{\frac{1}{2}}x21​
  • 1xn=\frac{1}{x^n} =xn1​= x−n\boxed{x^{-n}}x−n​
