Chapter Overview
The chapter 'Application of Integrals' explores how definite integrals can be used to calculate the area under curves and between curves. This chapter is essential for understanding how integration plays a role in solving real-life geometric and physical problems. It emphasizes the geometric interpretation of definite integrals and provides strategies for solving problems involving areas bounded by different types of functions and axes.
Important Keywords
- Definite Integral: An integral with upper and lower limits that yields a numerical value.
- Area under Curve: The region bounded by the curve and the x-axis or y-axis.
- Area between Curves: The difference between the areas under two curves over a common interval.
- Bounded Region: The area enclosed by curves and/or lines within a defined domain.
- Symmetry: Using symmetry about the x-axis or y-axis to simplify area calculations.
