An antiderivative of a function f is a function g whose derivative is f. 4.1, 5.2, 5.3, 5.4, 5.5, Differentiation rules provide the foundation for finding antiderivatives. Calculate Antiderivatives The notation f(x)dx = F(x) + C means that F (x) = f(x) and f(x) is called an indefinite integral of the function f. Techniques for finding antiderivatives include algebraic manipulation such as long division and completing the square, substitution of variables. Indefinite Integral rules Power rules Trigonometric rules Exponential and logarithmic rules Page 19

21 The Definite Integral Concept LO 3.2A(a) EK 3.2A1 EK 3.2A3 Interpret the definite integral as a limit of a Riemann sum. 4.2, A Riemann sum, which requires a partition of an interval I, is the sum of products, each of which is the value of the function at a point in a subinterval multiplied by the length of that subinterval of the partition. The information in a definite integral can be translated into the limit of a related Riemann sum, and the limit of a Riemann sum can be written as a definite integral. Page 20
